Thank you kindly, the biggest hurdle will be getting my head around the Grass scenery - never done anything like that before. Erk.

Lovely sets some great poses there. Erk.

Evening all - I'm Back, I decided to put on hold my other projects and pick up where I left off with this, this calls for the ast of the buildings in the shape of the kitchen garden shed/store type building - this is attached to a small area of paving and a short length of wall. I dis my normal trick with the brickwork and White paintwork - still a bit more to do to it before it can be placed against the Farm House. Erk.

I have their simulated wet water gel - its Brilliant. Erk.

Excellent modeling. Erk.

Hi all, a bit more progress with this - I am starting to add more fittings to the turret - Erk.

One of the best tank builds I have seen. Erk.

Thank you kindly. Erk.

Morning all, more work continues on the back of the turret with the destinctive carrying of the Two Bustles, that will carry all the normal stuff in there. Erk.

Morning all, more progress with the turret - I am currently populating it with all the fittings that go on it - side bins/railings/aerials/to ropes etc. Erk.

Thank you kindly, interesting looking colours in the pic. Erk.

Amazing work - top rate. Erk.

Hi all, just to say I am still about and not deserted my build - I'm just having a slight break from her to give my eyes a rest while working on my armour build in larger scale. I will be back. Erk.

Great work, I too am in the middle of a 1/700 build - yep my Flyhawk Hood, the scale of these models and the tiny parts are beyond belief, I have decided Not to put handrails on mine after looking at some photos of here and taking into display viewing account from several feet away they would not have been noticable. Erk.

As I am making it as European visitor in the new over all Green colour - I think I am right in painting it in the Bronze Green colour? Vallejo do this colour in their range of Acrylics. Erk.

Evening all, more vison blocks going in with their translucent stick on pieces, also the commanders cupula and hatch cover is made (the seperate sections are being kept dry fitted till after spraying) Erk.

Thank you kindly. Erk.

Morning all, a bit more progress made - continuing with the top of the turret I have built up CITV device but left to top section just dry fitted, I also made up the loaders hatch with its associated bits, also within the DEF models Resin set is a some rather nice translucent stick on sheets for the glass viewing blocks and CITV/FLIR sights and even the cupla vision blocks are accounted for, there is even spare for me to re do the drivers vison blocks. Erk.

Evening all, more steady progress on this - I am continuing to populate the turret with the kits parts along with some resin and PE from DEF models. Erk.

No problem at all - glad to help, your unpainted M1A2 kit is the SEP 2 versions with the additional armour. Erk.

Thank you. Erk.

Thank you kindly. Erk.

Morning all, thought I shpuld update this - I went in to Fith gear and go quite a bit done since my last post - I fitted some of the fittings - tow hooks, track assist wheels, side skirt supports, then later I closed up the hull with the upper, I then started work by adding all the fittings to the upper hull including a bit of PE mesh. I have also started work on the turret the lower section was cleaned up - the gun pinion section was made and glued in place (its movable for elevation) then the upper part of the turret was glued in place and seams cleaned up a bit. I have also added a piece of wire to the drivers radio as the plastic stub looked so bad. Here are the current pics - Erk.

There have been some Superb builds of people doing just that - showing the inner working as if its bean cut through with a sharp saw. Erk.
