[JohnSimmons]

Thanks guys your really helping me along here! anyway I'v added some 'greeblees' to the back (vents?)

Nice John. I like the little parts that look like electronic chips.

Nice John. I like the little parts that look like electronic chips.

First that I've noticed to Are they tank tracks? Look alike much.
Anyway, nice "greebles-work", John!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Yeah they do look a little like computer chips, there all from the fm millennium falcon. Just left over bits and bobs. Thanks for the comments!! Should have another update soon!

 

[Grendels]

Looks good, keep the updates coming!!

 

[Quaralane]

Nice detailing. Enjoying watching this come together

 

[JohnSimmons]

Hey guys, finished doing the 'gun wells' Last night. I'v done 2 but they both look the same so heres just one... :-\ as always comments welcome!

 

[Igard]

Very nicely done indeed.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Cheers Igard! Heres another quick update, thought I'd primer the top to see how it looked all 'greeblee'd ' up. I'm using humbrol acrylic primer from the rattle can, its pretty good allthough its no where near as smooth as the tamiya primer but that's so expensive and with a model this size I would be spending ALOT. Anyway I'm probably going to move onto the rear section tonight and hopefully get some LED's involved 8)
Enjoy and comments welcome!

[Solander]

Nice job with this gunner seat!

 

[Quaralane]

Excellent progress.
Love that gunner's station

 

[ModelMakerMike]

YES, looking good!!!!
I am on the edge of my seat (figuratively) waiting to see her completed.

 

[punkpigpen]

Oh hell yeh. awaiting more more!!!!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks alot chaps! Im almost ready to show you guys some more, Iv just been busy at work (and play) when the suns out and the tides up that brings work & pleasure! But I'm currently having a bit of an issue with warped parts etc (that's resin for you!) the cockpit/walkway is going to be really tough to fit. There's no real good join or mounting point and all of the references of previous builds don't seem to show how they got around the problem?? Anyway ill stop blabbing and get building!

 

[Igard]

Sounds tricky John, but I'd say this model will definately be worth a few headaches once it's done.

Good luck with her!

JOHN,

WoW !! I've missed a couple of these updates. Rock-On Dude !! I dig th X-tra detailing !!

 

[punkpigpen]

update time! update time!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Sorry for the late updates guys, trying to get the lighting figured out. Theres been a slight delay because the leds I had were to big to fit in the engine holes so I had to order some more from japan. The engine parts are from the fm mf, and i have drilled them out to accept the leds (the white bits are filler from where I got a little drill happy! :) Anyway here's an indication of how it will look:

And heres whats been playing in the man cave!! \m/ RIP Dimebag and happy birthday.
