Hi Ian, this one been kicking around for sometime a bit like me, I'm surprised I've still got all the part's,It's one of those you start while you are waiting for something to arrive in the post, It's the last of my stash , I've got 7 build's left that I want to do, then I'm probably calling time on the hole proceedings.

I have seen the kit on sites before, but being academy I am usually a bit dismissive. So even though some detail is under par some isn't and it looks nicer than I wood have thought. Course that could just be that you have dynamite modeling skills
Shame your going to hang up your spurs, failing health is a crappy card to be dealt. I think I might be starting on that road myself. I have to have a procedure on my prostate in the early new year....date hasn't been set yet. I ain't looking forward to it. Bad enough when they stuck a camera up there for a look...not recommended !
Cheers
Ian

Cool build, how did it go together?

Hi thank you,I used 0.3 jewellery wire for this one its only a very light tank 10 tones.

You might find this handy.
1/35 Tank Cables.

Panzer III IV 0.6 -07 mm.
Panthers/Tigers 0.6- 0.9 mm (The Panther had 3 cables a 0.5 mm track changing cable).
US/British 0.5-0.6 mm.
Russian 0.8-1.1 mm

I don't known if everyone is aware that German tank cables had a LEFT hand twist
You can use then for rope as well.

What about the ends? Looks like the molded part just hollowed out?

Hi sorry not sure what you mean (pic might help?).I make the cable and use the originally tow eyes (or after market one)by cut out plastic cable part and drill a hole in the end of the tow eye for the new cable end c a glue it in.
Pete

Hi finish my last build, and have decided to stop posting builds it's getting a bit embarrassing now so i'm going to hang up my spurs and cutters, failing health is the only reason.Still have good days but less and less of them, there still a few builds I'm do one big D-day diorama for a friend who asked me to do one about a year ago.
