I really have 'thing' for ye ol' Hanomag. I would eventually like to build several versions, have been very surprised at all the variations that are or have been produced of this.
I am looking to use Andy Fettes' face painting techniques and hoping to channel some of Iron Mike's mojo he showed on that Wespe to come up with something special

Hey-Hey! Look what showed in the mail 2-day!!!
man that is some serious sprues there, some are even two sprue sets to a bag!!! Going to be more than a weekend project I fear
Here is the detail stuff. UGH! Those Individual tracks!!! This ain't gonna 'fall together' like a tamiya! I wonder if those tamiya one piece vinyl tracks will fit this?

Aye-Aye, Cap'n!!! :drunk
I did not do it as I had not actually broken into any of the bags as yet, but I will when I start farting around with it
Don't forget a timeline startup photo.

OK so here is about an hour's worth. This really proves I DO NOT have AMS...I am AMS Free!!!!!!! I say that because I kept thinking"Hey all that is just going to get covered up! & "Tamiya doesn't make you attach all these, Tamiya isn't like this....."
Hey really it does not look like much, but there really was a ton of part clipping & cleaning involved in getting it to that point. Plus, all those little bits had to be positioned and checked quite a bit as the tenax dried. And no, it ain't a Tamiya. But ut is still NEAT, so looking forward to getting more time on the sub assemblies over the next few sessions as I get the interior ready for some paint!
This is not going to be fast build, but that was kinda the point, enjoying the whole process, and you know what they say about how a journey of a thousand miles starts.......

TRADGEDY!!!!!!! :vmad :frantic
So my package from AK INteractive did not show, and I was making the most of it by just building up sub assemblies. I had quiote a few items in process or complete, in the box bottom....and I knocked over my plastic weld!!!! I t spilled onto EVERYTHING!!!! I work on the kitchen table so I had that to clean plus it got many-many parts of the model!!!!!
Here is the worst two bits:
These are the rear wass (inside) and the right side inside - the outside is nearly as bad!
OK, so has anyone had this happen??? Anyone have an idea as to who to clean it up?

The little lights are not twinkling, Clark.

Sorry to hear about the mishap, happens to everyone. Welcome to the brotherhood.
Let it harden a coupla days then sand it with a flat sanding stick. Fill any divots with spot putty and you should be back in the saddle again.
