Wheels damaged and replaced with what ever was available Your lucky a certain Mr T let them back in again. Perhaps we could have a competition for the most travelled rivets Kev Heck no, seen some drawings (let this register: drawings) but no photos available to support three different colored wheels. Quite honestly I like it and don't give a if it's accurate No, not replacing with what was available, just paint and install . Glad you mentioned good old Donald J. Who the heck left the door open? I thought "W" was a challenge to coherent thought and speech but then they open the zoo doors and let Donald out. And I was worried about the Dutch politicos...................................................or the return of Tony Bliar who wants to eradicate the Brexit and rejoins Junker's Junta. Maybe I should look for a padded cell just to be safe with all these freaks running around free 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Good progress with a well applied weathering on the exteriors. The internal details are really amazing as well ! Also a great job with the tracks, cleaning them will require some more good medicine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hi Bernd, Thank you, the tracks are a rather sorry offering in an otherwise nice model. Still, have to make do with them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 18/2 update. Seem to be a lot of SAS jeeps and Chevies around. Gyro compass fitted, working on instruments and radios. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 19/2 update. Instrument and radio console fitted (left the upside down radio-set in place, not very visible when everything is fixed in position). left hand track complete and with 2 x 48 links fits like a glove. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 All looking good from here Gremlin... The tracks have a nice sag on them. As for the radio, well who is going to see it as you said. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 This was one part Trumpeter didn't update. Very definitely upside down. Fit is still rather good though, no drastic measures necessary like with Buttercup. Even getting used to the quirky tracks (quirky is PC for "God awful flash ridden in need of a good filing and the maybe it will fit") 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the vehicle were to roll over into a ditch et voila one radio is still correct Despite the troubles they are giving you those tracks are impressive Kev 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 I hadn't thought this through Kev. All the times I have found myself upside down in a ditch in my Volvo thinking "I wish I had a radio set that had been installed upside down so I could read it properly now"... You really make life on BM livable having the same "fuzzy logic" I do, bless you sir! No, really, best mail in a poon's age ............................... P.S.

Gremlin56 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Heck no, certainly not fools. Fuzzy but not foolish The jeep? No, also not fuzzy. There seems to be a plethora of SAS builds going around at the moment, I bought the SAS jeep and Chevrolet along with the "Black Dog" resin stowage sets a couple of years ago. Great stuff, just pointing out what is available Stabilizers? I have traction control, stabilizers etc.on my Swedish tank, love the "black beast", I even crushed two Hyundai's with this piece of Swedish transportation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it true that BMW drivers think they own the road, where as Volvo drivers know they own the road. You don't build like a Volvo ........................ You are Totally unstabilised Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'll change my signature into " Unstabilized builder at work, tread carefully". The Hyundai's were victims of a 6 car pile up at a traffic light. Some drunken yobbo in a huge Volkswagen Touareg ran into the two cars behind me and I was launched into the Hyundai in front of me. The shape of the Volvo's nose was impressed into the rear of the Hyundai, if you looked carefully you could read "ovloV" pressed into the rear door, (no kidding ). Behind me was an even smaller Hyundai that had to be pulled off the boot of my car. Of the 6 cars mine was the only one that could drive home, the rest were taken away on trucks. Go figure how these monsters are built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hi Julian. You really have got to stop taking photos of the restoration of an actual JagdTiger and passing it off as your own model making work! Beautiful modelling as always! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 20/2 update. Both track lengths are finished (and so are all my finger joints after connecting these tracks ). Test fitted them, all really ok, and have given them a base coat of AK dark track (marginally darker than Vallejo Panzer Aces Track primer so that is a happy coincidence). The connecting bolts have been given a dot of Vallejo acrylic Burnt Umber. Ready for the next rounds: It's Spring holiday and I have beautiful 2014 Valpolicella at the perfect temperature ready for Mrs. Gremlin56 and me.

Spookytooth Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I see that you are right(left) on track there Gremlin. At least that area is out the way now, just the painting/weathering to do on them. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 They look very workable, I would totally say, I do not think there is anything wrong once finished ... Cheers Julian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That looks like one of the big parts of the build out of the way Julian, they look good, wheels do look very good and the three colours bring out the meanness of the beast. It is family day here in Alberta and I like your idea of have a nice glass of wine so I think I will open a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-pape Regards Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
