Tamiya T34/76 1942 Russian Tank Production Model

[hansolo]

Hi Jim,

I decided to go for the T-34 too, since you think it's a good idea.
Let's see where those Russians take us.

You're ahead of me in the build, so I can sneak a peak every now and then.

Good luck and have fun.
Later,

Nice progress. Keep it up.

Haha... you are much further than I am Hans. I just took a sneak peak at yours mate. I forgot you were doing the same model and I was having a feeling of having seen this all before :lol;

Need to stop my Romulan build but it is more fun that this one at the moment.

Cheers
Jim

I'm enjoying watching your build so far, Jim. Have you managed to get much done between work and the sci-fi GB? And your band, of course. Oh and the 4th of July holiday? You're a busy man! I was in New York on Independence day a few years back and didn't know whether to risk going out in case they decided to burn the oppressive Englishman for extra entertainment!!!

lol.. I'm actually in 2 bands - used to be 3 but that's another story. I'm too busy watching Hans race past my build at the moment :lol;

Cheers

Hi Jim,
I am not trying to make it a race.
I just can't stay away from it.
I am having so much fun with making it dirty at the moment.
I'll up pictures sunday. So you can see what you have to keep up with.

Cheers

ps The name is Han. Just like Solo.

[Bagpiper]

Got it Han I am the opposite. I am having so much fun on my sci-fi build I can't get motivated to get back on this one.

Cheers

Jim,
The build is progressing nicely.
Another way to handle that gun to turret gap is take some plastic shavings...place into gap. Then use liberal amount of liquid cement to soften them up. Use a tooth pick to flatten and shape into weld beads.
Second way is to make a slurry of testors or squadron putty with liquid cement ......use an old brush to whick the slurry into the gaps.
Hope this helps.

Excellent tips there Bill. When I can drag my butt back onto this build I will try that out mate.

Really enjoying the build up, Jim. Looks like you got a real handle on this AFV. Who knows, you may become a Tread Head after this project.
