Cheers Paul. Not to your standard I’m afraid….but I’m enjoying it most of the time….
Not that out of the norm RickGlad you are making a go of it Tim.......bit out of the norm for you but perhaps a bit of fresh air from the "yard ornaments" and "dungeon dogs"
I’ve tried most things over the years, and in most scales. Only thing I haven’t really had a go at are SciFi subjects. Must admit I’d forgotten how boring wheels and tracks are though. Obviously a necessity for the subject, but quite tedious all the same. Still, should be on the casemate soon 
Thanks Mick. Me neither, at least, at this scale.Nice work Tim, I've not built anything armoured for ages
Wonderful work there Mr. Marlow!!! Tracks are looking good, time consuming, but real good and well worth it. I was surprised how well mine went using TET. I guess the hissy stick work is next on them??? Or are you going to paint the whole lot in one go...........

Hi Tim
Track looks spot on. Just the right looking sag. EMA Plastic Weld is great for wicking into joins but, as you say, is no good if you need wriggle time.

I’ll paint the lot in one go. Second set of tracks now on…..Contacta is far more forgiving
The rest of the superstructure is next…..but I’ll check if I can get the track on with the guards in place before sticking to this painting plan
Sag was easy Jim. They are link and length, with the sag moulded in
The hard part was getting the tracks on the right way around 
Nice work Tim, have to admit I just assembled the tracks, as they came.My only excuse is most of of them with be covered in snow.Suppose doing the tracks was right enough

You have done the lower hull, tracks and running gear and you are still building this kit!!!??? We have succeeded in our task to transform you into an armour modeller! It's all down hill from now on mate! You will still have time to do a full blown winter camo! Happy modelling my friend LOL
No probs with that approach John, I’d do the same if I was building a dio like you….the beast was cleaning off all the ejection towers…mind numbing doesn’t come into itNice work Tim, have to admit I just assembled the tracks, as they came.My only excuse is most of of them with be covered in snow.Suppose doing the tracks was right enough
Yep, still slogging away Steve…..no winter Camo though…only one prototype and it was green, so 4BO all the way
PS, I have done armour before you know…..finished this off not long ago for the shelf of doom group build
Mind you, it took a few years…..
Actually started it before I joined the other place, then shelved it when I lost a hatch cover….found it inside when I started it again….
Certainly wasn’t by choice. Try here for the whole grisly tale John…..
They take as long as they take Andrew. It’s the only way I know to try and make plastic look like castings….get them clean and smooth. Trouble is, these were pretty good, but had niggling moulding artifices and ejection pin issues that needed addressing. Better quality moulding would have reduced the clean up time considerably. Shame really, the actual sculpting of the parts is really good.
