While I try to complete the 2 Mando figures, my Russian T-80U and my 2 subs, I have to get a few commission jobs done as well as as I have posted my other commission work under this blog I thought I would continue the trend............
2 WW1 TANKS - British MkV MALE and a German A7V
I will be starting on the MkV Male
This should be an interesting build for me, as I have never built a WW1 tank but are very much looking forward to the subject change. Both are Meng kits,, which should mean that will have great detail and be a reasonably good fit.
The detail on the inner and outer armour sides is excellent and come up treat at the paint and weathering stage.
The wheels are plentiful but easy, the hardest part being in the sanding of them and fitting the other side. Each wheel pin needs to be lined-up precisely with the opposing hole on the matching outer armour piece. Be careful to line them up correctly and use a thin tweezer arm to pop them in when they are not lining up. I also glued the wheels on the pins to stop them falling off every time I picked up the assembly - this didn't effect the build as the tracks will be fixed anyway.
Next up is the central compartment where the tank is operated from. There is a lot of detail in this section and I will need to sort out the parts that are key to the structure and the interenals that I do not need as it will be 'buttoned-up'.
