Thanks guys! And yes, I do like the texture of the hull, don't have to add anything to it, it already looks like cast iron. And offcourse.... the Legend set is for an Academy version of the M51, so doesn't fit without cutting, sanding and adjusting.... just like that Resin set, that engin deck was to long, the barrel rest didn't fit so had to adjust that too.... guess thats why it came cheap Must say, it is kind of fun to persuade kits that don't belong to eachother like the do |

Bert, don't get me wrong, but they look like you have cut black and white pictures out a reference book  |

Christ almost more figures than Guy's doing! Sorry, these are just 3 figures... but in the total diorama there might be indeed, I have 18 at this moment.... and a couple are still to be added Okay, you guys probably have come across these more often...  been cleaning them up, removing all those marks from each link.. but what is the best way to do this? Because I have to glue them to stick together, have to get them around the sprocket and idler... suppose in sectons will be easiest? that way I guess I can still take them of for painting before sticking them on... and leave them off untill the very last? Or try and cover them up when painting the rest of the tank? |

Great start on the figs Bert  As for the `indie links`..........when ever i have done them in the past i tend to make a top and bottom run, when i go around the drive sprocket and the idlers i glue each link with a small amount of TETC and when they are nearly dry i shape them around both wheels and leave to dry........if you keep the glue to a minimum you will be able to remove them from the drive and idler wheels for painting |
