Started to make the "boxes" on top of the left mudguard.
Picky work...takes me forever to finish just one of the boxes..
But its fun to build, so im just picking on :)

Cut out the strips...and make the halfpipe construction in a way...


Assembled and started to make the hinges

Hello my friends!!
Started on the turret...had to do something else than making small parts for the side boxes...
Turret comes with two options, with or without partial interior.
Abd since I love picky work..guess which option I went for?
Of course the interior option.The interior can only be seen through the open hatches, so thats why its limited to just a small part of it.
Summertime is not the best time of the year to make models..but I make some small progress now and then in days with bad weather :)

Drawing of the turret


Laserparts :) makes it easy to put together


Its a big construction now :)
Also making the boxes along the sides.


stay tuned...more to come next week :)

I still can't get over the scale of the thing. It makes sense to limit the interior if you can't see it. There's enough on the outside to view. :)

Looks like some room for greblin' on the turret, i.e., the voltage meters printed on the wall. It's coming out wonderful. :)

Slow slow slow...Back from vacation and I have started on the main hatch. But I really find the drawings very difficult to read..so im making very slow progress.
The level of detail is huge on this model, so im really struggeling with both motivation and skills here.
But im fiddeling on and crawl slowly forward.

Main hole :)


Im not sure how many parts there is in this construction, but it will take me weeks to complete it...


So far so good :)


stay tuned :)
