This is just amazing work, I wouldnt even know where to begin on something like this. Some of you guys totally amaze me, you should be working in a special effects department somewhere. Very good work Peza!

Eh up all.hope you all had a good Christmas.
Well it's time for another update, firstly I finished off all the back quarter detailin and gave it a coat of primer.


Next i started to make up the gun and mount,but lookin at the window and the armour plates I desided to rip the window out
Filler the gaps between the plates and start again,here is the reworked piece

My next job was to make up the gun mount which I wanted to use styrene but the local model shop was out of stock so I had to improvise with some brass and aluminium rods.

Finally I wanted to make up the barrels for the quad cannons, but lookin through my greeblies box all I had to use was some balsa wood so after an he and a lot of fetlin I came up with this

Jaitea's kindly moldin the barrels for me......top lad!BIG THANKS BRO
And my very last thing I did was to put all the sub sections together apart from the antenna,which I am gonna have to make up
the new one,but as yet I don't know how it's mounted,here are a couple of images of it all together.and to be honest I'm well happy
with the way its lookin,I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.


Well that's it for this post hope ya like the progress....... Cheers for lookin....peza

I've already decided what I'm gonna go for next....

just need to know if anybody's got the old kit as reference....
once again thanks buddy.....peza

eh up all.
well it's time for an update,
firstly i got my casts back from jBIG THANKS DUDE...YOU ROCK
while i was mocking them up two things happened,firstly i broke the cannon mounts(arms)again...
and secondly i noticed that the cannons were abit too long,which j had warned me about,so i had to re-size them by losing 4mm,not an easy task with them being detailed and tapered.my solution was to cut the segments at the back of the barrels.

here you can see 2 original sized and 2 cut down versions so i've got the last 2 to do and mount them,i used some 1mm styrene as a backing plate with some evergreen box tube to help articulate the cannon.
my second problem i binned the metal fixings for the mount and bought some styrene rod and tubin....which i should of done the first time! :

after that i re-made the back of the cannons because i wasn't happy with the quality and detail...
finally i gave it a shot of primer and apart from afew small details its all done.



and with the cannons mounted on the turret.
