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....   :o

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

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!

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 :)

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  :D

that is amazing

It is indeed! Smaller than I imagined it to be as well.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

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.
