I did some more work on the Leman Russ tank.

Next step was adding the tracks and the track guards.

This is really impressive

looking sharp! I have to ask though- are you making four at the same time?

A Goffik Rokk Band and a foam Land Raider!
What's not to like?

Excellent progress so far, sir.
You are certainly a dab hand with that cutter.

Thank you ! Yes you are correct there are three more in a basic stage. I did that as you have to reset the cutter for different thicknesses of the polystyrene each time , so I cut the main parts for three more. I won't do anything more to them though for the time being and will concentrate on the one for the contest. As it takes more time to build 4 parallel to each other. On the other hand it is quicker to build more models at the same time then to build one after the other.

I started to put rivets and other small detail onto the Leman Russ

Nice work. What are you using for rivets?

Cool!

Your tanks kinda remind me of those inflatable decoy Shermans the British used in WWII!

This really is coming together nicely.

Some type of pins, I would guess.
One of the advantages of foam, easy to stick pins into it.
It should make it stronger too, with the amount of rivets a Russ would need.

They are not pins. I made them with a rubber mould from Greenstuffworld. The mould makes 6 different sizes of rivets screws and nuts. Very recommended as you can have as many rivets as you like in no time. I use magic sculpt to put into the moulds.

Will check them out - thanks!

Great stuff

Thanks for the encouragement !

I finished the Leman Russ tank by detailing the tracks

and adding the last rivets and other detail to the sides

This finishes the build of the tank. Now i will start to build the stage for the band. I started with building the supporting iron beams:

These were build from 3mm thin polystyrene parts glued to form a I beam. I cut the strips with a special gadget for my polystyrenecutter :

this device helps in cutting ultra thin polystyrene boards . The thinnest I can manage is 1mm.

More to come. what I still have to do is the stage the sound system, the drum set and some ork decorations like a board displaying the name of the band.

Your tank looks really good. Can't wait to see how that looks with some paint on it.

Is that special gadget one of the ones on offer from Geboom?

Nice work. I'm impressed by what you've achieved with jsut a hot wire - my attempts are always a right old mess!
