Ditto what the others said. Hope life it getting back in harmony again. Really nice update, those engine plates look like they are hinged, they work?

Evening all.
Have found a bit more bench time so some more updates.
I have finished the engine deck, adding some bits from Eduard.
The gun/launcher was next on the list. Nice detail but I dont think it will be seen.
Still grasping for display ideas at the moment.
More soon.

The main breech has been installed, along with the MG. The 3 piece front panel gives a nice scale thickness.
Next is the roof panel. Not the best fitting kit part in the world, but ok with some sanding.
The start of the rifling.
And after some gentle persuasion.
Inserted down the barrel
One complete Sturmtiger barrel
Back soon.......I hope

Thanks Laura,Eric and Mike.
The etch for the barrel was an interesting experiance, to say the least. I had it nice and round at one point, but it didnt come close to matching up. It took quite a few goes at getting the ends to meet. I will try to get the last couple of bits to sit flush in the barrel.
I have been plodding along with build, doing bits here and there. I finished both sides, deciding not to replace the hangers with the etch parts, but thining down the kit parts. I thought the etch might have ben a bit to thin.
I also added some small chain to the ports.

Next up are the details on the roof. I replaced some of the small details with etch, but there isnt much up here....
The hatch is just sitting at the moment until I decide on the setting.
The rear panel is done except for the crane. The rear hatch will be positioned open or closed as per the top hatch.
Time for the easter bunny now.
Have a happy one.

Well, lets get the construction done.....
Decided to use the "Hi-tech"
tracks from AFV. So close to going in the bin a couple of times.
It might have been me, but they are BLOODY AWFUL...

So now that the track nightmare is out of the way, the side gaurds are installed with very carefully applied lakes of superglue.
That should now complete the buildy part. Some naked shots
Time for her to go to the spray room (or garage if you like).

Johnny, Mike, Gary, thanks.
Sorry for the lack of nakedness Gary
Anyway, got some primer on the big girl
Then after a bit of a pre shade, gave her a squirt of colour (although, looking at the photos..... not a lot.)
Now to decide on the next colour.
Back soon
