Comrade Ivan,
I fear your masochism is proceeding rapidly............................
Have the installers been to measure up for the padding in your workroom?
The more obscure the model. the more pleasure?
Cheers Dave
Well to be truthful Dave I hadn't a clue who they were when I bought 2 of their kits from a European model shop. I like something different, and this certainly is. Both pleasure and frustration in equal amounts . Going to be a lot of walking up and down muttering I can tell you now.
, might yet need a padded cell.
By 'eck John you're a glutton for punishment. Mrs Jones Tickets have sorted me out - front row with popcorn included. Odd thing though my credit card was charged in roubles!!
Jim
Hope you're feeling better now.
.
Yes feeling good, though by the time I get this done It may have changed. Yes at the moment as the £ is rather low, Mrs Jones always one to be ahead of the financial markets decided the Rouble was a better bet.
Oh boy, this one will test your mettle alright, I built one, I think it was a "Sfezda" or some similar apparition.
Everything fit horribly at best and then I bashed it and added a rocket platform, will post you a pic or two via PM.
Jim.
Jim, your not wrong, more on that later.
Will look fwd to the pics thanks.
Interesting little thing, it almost looks like a toon.
Andy , ssh I think that's where they got the idea from.
John, look into my eyes, my eyes, eyes
The Stug is calling ! Do you go through many guys in white coats lol
StuG master, I try, I really try but the lure of 4 BO is too strong.
No need for many men in white coats now, Matron has a very long sharp needle, you are soon asleep .
Good luck sir, you are a glutton for punishment will watch from the sidelines with interest.
Pete.
Yes indeed, but kind of fun,
if it is crap, then easier to wreak !
No photos as of yet but the new glue from MR Hobby is really helpful to me. Seeing the glue wick so easily means I don't have to apply more and mess the surface up.
When I started the build the first thing I noticed was no numbers on any of the sprues !
Thinking they hadn't bothered to do it I just carried on, then turning over that photo I find a sprue chart with numbers against each part. Much easier !
The base part went together we'll, the top section not bad , but the front is rather odd , you have several sections to fit into each other, so starting at the front bottom may be the easiest way. Photo tomorrow.
At the rear is a platform to carry kit, it has two framed angled sections, not quite sure if I have the two supports on the tank body the right way round. The drawing shows little detail so will just have to be ready to pull apart after gluing.
The tracks look to be a challenge, but It's not worth getting stressed over, they either go well or not ! .
I'll put up some photos tomorrow.
New main pc arriving tomorrow, nice to shop locally where we've been before, as they don't attempt to sell but suggest the right system for your needs. I wanted a top end graphics card, but they said, no you don't want to waste your money on that, not required. They have just transferred the old w7 onto w10 and will come and set it all up in the morning. Told us not to worry about w10 ! We will see .
