The good news: finally managed to log in again and picture upload is working :)
The bad: I managed to delete most of the progress photos I took in the past few months. T_T
Here are the survivors:

I worked on the model in really small increments since the last update. But finally managed to get most of the parts assembled for a build

The hands, helmet and some details on the back are still missing. As is the hoist. (or what's it called in English)

The chest plate and pauldrons are one assembly and can be detached (magnets are so much fun), so I can show off the frame underneath :)

This is really coming together beautifully!!!
Your attention to detail is AMAZING! Most of the parts look very realistic!

The helmet and the hands are done.
The big ribbed pipes were a nightmare to make on the T-51b and the T-60 has even longer ones, so my laziness won out. With a "been there done that" exclamation I used the flexible parts of some plastic straws. which were fortunately about the same size. :p
Some of the fingers joins are deliberately missing since that side is the one that was stripped of plates and whatnot.

With this only a few extra pieces from the back and phase 1 will be done.

Started on the hoist (or whats it called). So the first attempt was scaled to the armor following the game, and it was huge, and not detailed enough for the size. So I did some creative scaling and cutting, so the thing still look big but actually fit in my display case :) ...
Then I mistook a height of 338 mm to be around 38 cm high, so that print was disposed of too :( . So finally I had one with good size and it should look great when I finish.

Still not much time this past 2 weeks but it's getting along.
Finished with the pneumatic/hydraulic pump and its piping (nee some weathering on the wires I used for pipes though)
Started on the chains, they still need a thin layer of paper and a thick coat of paint but the general shape is done.
Also started a forgotten pipe on the armored leg of the armor, and some other piping is needed to the hoist arms, but overall Its really close to Phase 2 completion.

I just realized my "creative resizing" on the hoist had some side effects, the texture to the angular beam on each side shifted a bit. I think Its time to add some warning stickers and put some bolts to the correct position next week.

Finally Phase 2 is complete. (that means the armor hoist is complete).
Managed to hide/recreate the bolt that was misaligned on the sides, by adding a warning sign and a new bolt. the chains got their new layer of papers, but while I was looking for a new tube of glue, I found some wire I had left over from the Gatling laser of my T-51b. It was just the right diameter for the chains so I used that instead.
The pipe for the armor's leg is wire based paper painted over.

Now that I have an idea of the size this model I dropped Phase 3 (Dogmeat), I was on the fence on if I should build him, but now I have my final decision on the matter.

And with that out of the way I started on the Phase 4: the clutter.
Step 1 is the magazine rack. I think i will have to impregnate this with super glue, to make this resilient enough for travel.

Daishi, you really have the touch! I think these are the most difficult kind of models to build. I never see any white lines in your models. You make sure every parts fits, and does what it takes to make them look fantastic. You have the right to be proud of your work. :)

@daishi You have done a PHENOMENAL JOB on this project! I would like to echo @zathros comments. Your skills are very professional. I can not see fault with anything that you have done.

Had to restart the magazine rack because it was too small, but progress is good.

The rack itself was impregnated with quick-glue to make it more sturdy. For the magazines I separated the layers of the paper I printed the covers on to make them thinner, then layered regular 180gsm paper with brown baking paper. For the baking paper I tore the edges instead of cutting to make them more time worn. (Since the mags are supposed to be 200 years old :) )

Is there a template for the magazine rack, or is it something that you just scratch built?
If it is a template, is it available on your site?

I generally release models after I've built them, so it is not available yet.
But I can put just the magazine rack up if you like. If I can remember it this evening I'll do just that. ;)
