I’ve never tried those decals before. How do they stick on? The same as normal decals? Just with water?

Yep, the glue is very light so they come off the backing very quickly but take ages to stick.
Got to be very careful handling the model as even after half an hour or more they still move around!

They need softening with microsol or similar to go round tight corners.
Once set they are very robust. I've used a lot of their rivets but they aren't cheap!

This may have been commented on earlier, but have you seen this YOU TUBE article?

That vid is a good spot - thanks!
Lots of good footage of odd angles which is always good!

Hopefully some more progress can be made tomorrow... Next up either tracks if I can get into the garage or the turret....

A very impressive work.

I'm hoping to make some progress next week... but I've got 1000 tiles turning up on monday

I need to make a start on the tracks they will take some time, the challenge being make them detailed yet strong enpough for casting
They will be seperate so Jeff can cast them up easier but that does somewhat complicate the build.

The turret is the shape of nightmares...

Bit of spare time so on with the horrific turret...
Its not even symmetrical...

Basically I make the underlying structure picking up what lines I can. Pack the space with scrap and miliput the gaps...

Come visit the UK. It gets to 35 degrees once per decade if we are lucky

Serious modelling skills with that turret!

The hull and the turret are looking awesome

I really need to make some progress on it... but been tiling all day and now full of beers...
But the tiling is nearly done! Hopefully tomorrow...

Managed a couple of hungover hours this morning.

Oh and the tiling should be finished today. yay.

The turret is looking the biz mate!

.....The tiling not so much. In my picture it’s at 90 degrees! I’d check your spirit level!

I wondered why the tiling was taking so long...
