Wow that thing is gorgeous! I mean it looks the actual car, if I didn’t know the scale

Wow that work is incredible Sir!

So I still have bit of fender repair to get thru, but this is where we current sit. I mounted the turret’s missing smoke launcher, and then press fit the launcher box, fake main gun, and turret for some pics. Plan is to build it as shown in the ready to launch configuration. So tomorrow I go...

So the next issue for me were the road wheels. The drive sprocket and return roller had alignment guides but the road wheels were without a center mark of any type. Their axles had flat squares, so an easy mount, just nothing to center it. My remedy was to mark/drill the wheels, then cut up some...

So it’s really just a matter of cutting a bit of plastic sheet/card and gluing underneath to make a small support shelf, then fitting the parts. Heck it’s nearly like invisible!!

OK so when I took a look at this…it’s not nearly as bad as you might think. Here’s what I did to fix: So the kit parts are a bit brittle. But that’s also a blessing because they break along a distinct fracture line

Hey y’all had a great time! BTW….dinner turned out great!

Greg, IF you see-code to reprint, you can put it is the box with the L-33. If you don’t then I’ll figure it out Bob, I’m gonna try those clear tracks, but may get a set of invidial links. We’ll see

So to do this, I built 65 individual links per side, then laboriously cur the pins out, then friction fit them, applied adhesive, shaped and installed them. Not easy. Not how the instructions call for, but I made it work The Hobbyboss Merkava Mk4 was much easier than this and Meng is downgraded...

Will try to be there for the first 45 minutes or so, but hafta get dinner rolling a bit before 5

It’s worth noting that the fender breakage is not the fault of the printer, but printed fenders are super-thin, hence their breakage. Also, here’s a link to Wikipedia to give an idea of what this odd thing was when in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pereh

OK so the highly esteemed Greg Kimsey printed a 3D Pereh tank for me! This is one of three obscure Israeli armored vehicle designs I am very much looking forward to building. I need to do some fender work and locate/drill some wheel holes, but overall it’s looking good!

OK so here is where it currently sits. I really should have backed off and bought fruils but I’m committed. They aren’t beef ext but they are useable. Bottom run only as she’ll have the side armor attached. I think I may take a stress break and move away from this one for a bit. Not Meng as I...

Those sure neat but. It my bag. Apologies as well

Godspeed to you Sir. To Miss Eaton, my heartfelt condolences. He will be missed, mostly for his support and helpful comments on work performed here. Bruce Brannon
