  1. Evening all, more progress - I have been prep-ping the assemblies ready for priming, this involved making some paper masks and fixing in place with some Blue Tack, including a small piece of paper covering one of the sights, I also made the rear vents - these will be painted and fitted. OC.
  2. Indeed Lou, bet it would be quite a thing to be close by, I saw a video where an M60 fired a round into the engine bay of a Land Rover car and it completley destroyed it - amazing power. OC.
  3. I do like that Alan - really nice - it so does not look that scale - fine job my friend. OC.
  4. Thank you kindly Denis, no worries all the crew are out of the turret while the engine is being checked, with instructions given to Dave the driver over radio. OC.
  5. Brother - going the "Extra Mile" in our pursuit of realism is what we all do here, and frankly I don't think you will be happy unless you gave the 3D printing a try, you know you have our attention for the duration - and for me personally the more involved the project is - the more interest it has - its good to push the envelope so to speak. OC.
  6. Thank you so much - at the moment the engine has stalled - hence why there will be another of the crew looking into it - guess if they find chocolate bars they will be eaten very quickly lol. OC.
  7. Thanks Alan, but pack it in you will start them lot off wanting some lol☺️ OC.
  8. Evening all, I managed some more time on this today - firstly I added some more PE trunking, then I made the barrel up consisting of several sections, this was then glued in place and the PE guard was added. I have the barrel elevated and glued in that position. Photo/s also include driver Dave just placed there for now (he was feeling left out) OC.
  9. Evening all, some more things added - the frame for the loaders co axial and some other details on the roof. Just noticed a need to make a joining cover for where the trunking meets the body of what ever device it is towards the back. OC.
  10. Superb work Kevin, take my hat off to you for doing such an amazing job with such delicate parts. OC.
  11. See told you we end up chatting about food in here - and chocolate sweets are no different 😁 Thats a nice fix to the vison blocks Alan. OC.
  12. That looks like a Superb Kit from an excellent company - this is going to be a stunning build - can't wait brother. OC.
  13. Evening all, more work continues on the turret - I built up the Thermal management system and the VCU unit, and also added the machine gun mounting bracket to the semi round PE plate. OC.
  14. Thats a great idea with that tinted foil - there should be loads of it around, love the idea for the wheel mask - so much easier than hand painting each one I will have to try and make something similar. OC.
  15. Thank you kindly. indeed the PE certainly make's a Huge difference and so good that many kits now inlude PE with the kits. OC.
  16. Just like to join the rest in here and say a warm welcome and thanks for both supporting this fine place, and thank you for making some really amazing construction kits. OC.
