Global Scale Modeller

This is my 1st post in this section and it the kit i got in scale model aleberta Glockster42 subscriber competition and this will be my second ever kit with tracks and wheels.

Im just going to build this straight out of the box and then paint it when i get back on to the right meds just need to build something at the moment but hay-ho

So on with the build.



The main chassis, front suspension and cockpit area built




The bonnet and the wind screen on



The flat bed part attached for the gun



Well thats it for now hopefully it will be the sides and gun built yp next but not attached

Thanks for looking and hints and tip would be most welcome cheers.

Looking great so far!

Don't think you need any hints or tips Nige, looks like you've got it all expertly in hand!

Great start Nige and keeping you on the ground for a change, this will build into a great kit.

off to a flying start mate,

will be watching this one with a lot of interest

keep up the great work


Shane

I think it is the same mate I know it's and old ESCI kit but Ilateri added a trailer and figures.

Thanks Frans just doing the tracks now which for me are a nightmare it's took me two hours to do about 3/4 of ONE side lol but it'll be finished tomorrow now my eyes have fallen out lol.

Wow! Welcome in " Panzer Verein " Herr Nige

So he begins.... the armour journey of Nigel Wells!!!
Hehe. Hooked..... like a fish.

Looks great so far Nige. Take her slow buddy... these fellas are fiddly builds but look wonderful when they're done.

This will be a the last one for a while lol but not the last one ever me thinks.

Nice piece Nige....
Look forward to following you dip into the "tracked vehicle" waters...
Excellent start mate, keep it up....

Cheers Andy.

just another quick update

the wagon and trailer is built less wheels










So just the gun and one more track to build and its ready for primer.

Good progress Nige - keep it up

Holy cow Nigel! Fast buddy.
Looks pretty good buddy.
Fiddly but pretty.

Excellent and real quick work Nige...
Keep it up mate, I am quite excited for you with this build.
So much so that I'm watching numerous scale and manufacturers "Famo" kits on EBay just in case I get the sudden urge..

Well done again mate..
" munch...munch...munch......."

Looking good Nige, you're doing a cracking job on this one!

Interested to know what you use the long-handled, multi-pronged tool for! Or, you can always tell me to fork off!

Ive had the tool for years mate the flat end is great for opening tins of humbrol paint lol and sometimes i use it for handle for spraying primer

Thanks guys.
Going to look at doing the gun today hopefully then just the other track which wont take as long as the other one did fingers crossed lol

Great work so far Nige!
Got mine build now too, hope to slap some paint on this weekend
Keep up the good ork

Right i got the gun built and WHAT a nightmare it was large sprue gates flash little bit OMG why do people build these all the time is beyond me.

only joking about the last bit did i enjoy it so so a bit to fiddly in places more than my liking, would i build one again maybe if it was from a good manufacture i would any how here is the pictures.



and on the back of the truck


well thats it for now just got to do one more track which will have to wait until my eyes start to focus again and to stop shaking from the nervous break down i had trying to get the armour plate straight. and it STILL wonky well its staying that way so there.

sorry ive calmed down now a bit anyway until the next update laters

That's really coming together nicely, like that a lot!

Nothing looks wonky to me - and that's the great thing about armour, any missing bits of damage -battle damage!!

looking good Nige and i wouldn't mind having a go at this one myself, i really like the ammo trailer adds a nice touch to the kit..
as always i enjoy your builds mate.
Tom

It's not wonky Nigel.
Some people like installing them upside down.




kidding. It's fine dude haha.
Looks great... all the hard work paid off.
There are kits out there that just fall together like nothing buddy.
This isn't one of them.
Next time
