Title: New project: T-28 Super Heavy Tank
Post by: Rich H on September 11, 2016, 09:57:25 PM

Next project:
T28 Super heavy tank / T95 107mm Motor Gun Carriage

Hull underway and half the wheels done

Quality Inspector Reid has obviously found something he's not happy with!

It's got a lot of wheels...  32.  Each pair is 16 parts....

Is this to be part of a certain "After 45" range? Or you can't divulge it?  ;)

Probably! ;)

Need to finish it first...

Very nice! (Though I have to admit to looking forward to your planned Centurion I/II more - as I play Brits - saw your announcement on the BA forum.) That said a T29 would be somewhat epic (& might even warrant a new army just to use it) - something to to give those Maus crew a bit of a sweat.

Thanks! 

Yes the Centurion will be quite an addition to the brits.  T29 is going to be a pain as the turret is cast so its all curves.  Buts its on the list somewhere...

Not really sure where to draw the line as i love the conquerer too but thats much later.

3 hours work and back to this same position (ish) now with idlers and sprokets.

I didn't like the wheels they were all a bit wonkey and not defined well enough so I remade them all....

Tracks next...

Post by: Rich H on October 16, 2016, 10:51:58 PM

Tracks done and gun started. 
Its starting to look massive now...

 :D
Couple more pics of the tracks:
(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f127/richardhumble/Mobile%20Uploads/20161016_185506_zpsgk8wucsl.jpg) (http://s46.photobucket.com/user/richardhumble/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20161016_185506_zpsgk8wucsl.jpg.html)

The outer tracks are seperate like the real thing but I've not done all the interior details on the hull - It was too much work considering most people will glue the outer tracks in place! 

Gun mantle next - but it's proving hard to find pics of the area behind the mantle.  Taht does mean that no one else will know if it's wrong though!

I have a lovely model of this built I built in 1/48 if you need ref pics...  I may even have a kit lying around if you need to see the photo/shape of a specific part.

Title: Re: New project: T-28 Super Heavy Tank
Post by: Rich H on October 18, 2016, 10:57:48 PM

Much obliged!  Thanks!  1/48?  What make?

Slow but steady progress

Engine deck covers are going to be a pain to get right!

Finally got sick of Quality Inspector Reid's nit picking...

Engine deck needs remaking, few side details still to go and the muzzle brake.

It is becuase I want to finish it!

I've got projects stacking up...  and SWMBO wants my build space back as we have visitors on Saturday!

I've got 2 or 3 AEC MAtadors to build (Semi-kit form) and a Scammell Pioneer to scratch build...
Then a Centurion
Then something else...
