BSC2018 Rich H's entry- Obyekt 279

[Rich H]

Thanks!

OK so I built the first set of tracks... mostly... and scrapped it all... This is why it's ill advised! 
I decided that it wasn't right so I had to add a layer into the roadwheels...

Mostly remade now...  but got to go drink copious amounts of beer and Chinese food. 
Hopefully can finish tomorrow....

Rich - take it easy. 
Due to the image upload problems currently on I decided to extend the deadline by a week, so take a deep breath before continuing.

[Rich H]

Lucky for me!

Tracks are done...  They have come out pretty well.  Very tedious....!

Left to do is the turret top detail and the muzzle brake, but I am tempted to do the other model without the muzzle brake!

[Rich H]

Got some good progress. 
Main construction is completed and undercoated again.  Just two searchlights and the hatch detail plus some handrails.

Even managed to make a reasonable muzzle brake...!

Loads of pics to upload once we are back online

Fantastic Rich! That’s the bees knees!

[Vanvlak]

Hope you don't mind - these are grand  :

[Rich H]

Don't mind at all!   
Where are you hosting the pics?

The later pics have a couple of better shots in grey primer

I just opened the image in FB, then right-clicked on the image to 'open image in new tab', and then used the url of the latter with the 'insert image' function on the Post reply window 

[Rich H]

Ah. Ok. Can't do that on my phone...  I'll try again later

[Rich H]

OK try this:

More...?







1/56 Sherman (Warlord) Crab (working ) for scale.

that is amazing

It is indeed! Smaller than I imagined it to be as well.

I think the problem is railway loading gauge. 
The sides fold down above the tracks to reduce the width.
Its a similar size to a KV hull.
