Old Collingwood Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share #34 Posted January 19, 2021 Think I can start this regardless of the rain - I could build the sub-assemblies like the bottom tub with all its bits and pieces, the top hull and turret, I will then be able to support them from underneath to prime/paint them, then attach them when thoroughly dry.

Old Collingwood Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share #37 Posted January 19, 2021 So it starts - first was the belly addional armour plate to help defend against IED's, this has to be bent slightly at the front to follow the slope of the bottom, this was then glued down, next came the Two sides - these simply followed some lugs and glued, then the rear plate was glued in place. Next will be all the Thousands of parts including some PE to go on the back plate. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share #51 Posted January 26, 2021 I have a little supprise - I want to try my hand at doing a part internal simulation - way to hard to scratch and nothing available as an update or super detail kit, so what I have found is another modern AFV kit that includes a Full intenal detail set - its the Rye Field Model 1:35 M1A1 / A2 Abrams, I know they are different tanks but I am sure with having the basics for the intenal parts there I can re-work them a bit to get close to the Chally's interior. The other bonus I will then have the M1 kit I can build latter and in that I could show the Engine compartment as its included in the kit.

Old Collingwood Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share #57 Posted January 27, 2021 Hi All, some more progress on the tub - firstly I fitted the rest of the iddlers/got them level and let them set, next was the skirt armour plate supports - same principle with these glued and ligned up. I put it aside for an hour or so then I turned my attention to the Gas strut units - Six on each side these needed dressing before gluing in place, after Two units were glued inplace towards the front.

Old Collingwood Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share #58 Posted January 28, 2021 Here's the plan (hope your sitting comfortably) - When I have finished the bottom hull (tub) and weather permitting - I will be able to venture into the garden (how you can call a 8ft x 12ft a garden) anyway I will be able to hold tub from the inside and using my Tamiya Surface primer rattle can, I will be able to give it a coat, it will then be put in my storage box and locked away to de-gass. I will then start on the details on the main top plate - this should give me some time working on this stage before in a few days I can take the tub out (examine it) then if all is ok - and if the weather gods play ball - back outside for a coat or Two of Nato Green (again Tamiya rattle can). This will be my process for most of the build - building then painting in stages. Right - here's my thinking for the inside , bare with me on this - take a deep breath - Both the Challenger 2 and M1A2 Abrams would surely share some similar (kind of) electronics and instruments inside each interior, also both share a 120mm breech, and the rear ammo locker can be made to look very similar - difference in the Chally its open with no blast doors, I think with some careful adjutments by going over my interior Chally pics, I should (might) be able to come up with something quite close (well it will be locked away and when Two figures are standing through the hatches you wont be able to see a thing (I will know its in there though.
