Both myself and Simon had an interest in these Russian vehicles, it was him who suggested I try the armound cars. I've built 3 this the last one will be a fitting tribute to a great modeller and friend.
I am armed with some new Pewter sheet, a conversion kit for the T34 with some PE.
The T34 will be perfect for a conversion into a tractor used for towing, not quite an ARV ias it didn't have a winch or spade.
Imagine a snowy landscape, ice, the armoured car has run off road in to the marshy ground, hopefully to be pulled clear by the T34.
Seats now available.
John.
Richard that's very kind of you.Very quick progress mate.Im sure i have some etch sets by Aber for i think the Tamiya SU.122 and seem to remember K.V bits by On the Mark models.If i can find the Soviet stuff you are welcome to them for future builds maybe.
Carry on Carruthers.
Rich.
Hi Joe, your welcome , hope you and the family are all well .Definitely want to see this duo come together
Thanks Steve, I may yet ask for help, so don't go too far.That's a nice looking PE set. Build is coming along nicely
Thanks Paul. Any tips welcome.John,
All looking very good mate the conversion is coming on great.
Simon and others persuaded me to get one. It's come in very handy!I really like that saw going have to invest in one of those
Hi Graeme thanks for that on the wheels, I just followed the instructions, but as they are just pushed on ( I think ) I will change them round .Coming along nicely Comrade Raceiski, not sure I can help on the metal work, but the steel wheels were generally the middle three with a rubber tyred wheel at each end. I think the vibration from steel wheels all round was so bad it shook the tank to pieces!
Lee a great tool, another thing that Simon recommend that have. Just have to take light cuts and straight other wise the blades snap and bits fly off !John. Nice surgery there my friend. I really like that saw going have to invest in one of those
Yes Andy, as I said to lee another tip from Simon.In at the deep end now John! Loving it so far.
Simon and others persuaded me to get one. It's come in very handy!
Arh the joys of retirement, I was up at 0530 ! Tea and toast, followed by getting back in bed ! .Up nice and early Andy. Those saws are a joy to use
Now that is early Andy, I know Steve is as early as well .Respect for anyone starting at that time of day .Day off so a bit of a lie in Steve.
4:30 alarm on a work day
That Jim I can assure you has nearly happened !Hi John
Aaah the pewter has appeared. Mr T will be so pleased. Now all we need is a bit of blood!!
Jim
Richard. Don’t entice him I sense he’s a Bleeder specially at his age.Where's the blood, where's the blood!!! I need drama John...the script says by the 7th day blood will be spilt. Ok...ok...if you're qwezee with cutting yourself we can use fake blood so when the cameras roll and call action you just faint an ouch and in the next scene we will splatter fake blood on the work mat. How does that sound?
Etch and cutting are good John...now, kindly know how you are going to attach something before you go ahead and cut it...calling out for Steve ain't going to cut it. No worries I'm sure help will come soon.
Cheers,
Richard
