Mikehool Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have built this kit myself a few months ago and found it very rewarding. It's a brilliant piece of plastic engineering. Hope you enjoy the rest of the build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 9/6 update. After a very busy week I was able to finish the JT build and do some more work on the A7V build. Lots of innards added, not that much of this wil be visible when the build is finished: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Those chairs look like they should be in an office some where, also like the spud mashers lying around. All in all looking good Gremlin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had me wondering where the mini fridge had gone to keep the commanders Bubbles and munchies cool........................ How are things going with the Rhino build at "casa Simon"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If I have to go inside those loose grenades make me bit worry. Interior looks like office, not a tank - good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Looking really good. I'm afraid age is getting the better of me. At the Saumur show on Sunday, I took a couple of photos of the Schneider they have there, only to get home and find that your not building one. I must start taking the tablets regularly.

PhilHendry Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 It's looking really good. Something very 'steampunk' about those leather chairs in a tank! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Leather chairs and all the brass fittings remind me of the control area on captain Nemo's Nautilus submarine beefy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good idea, grenades rolling around when driving, don't think much wil be seen of them when things are sealed up 11 hours ago, Bullbasket said: Looking really good.

Hi John, Must have been interesting to see the tanks in motion and making a lot of noise, have only seen some you tube films of Saumur, 10 hours ago, PhilHendry said: It's looking really good.

All the brass exaggerates the steam punk look, the armchairs are supposed to be red leather though. 8 hours ago, longshanks said: Wot beefy said.............

Might fit a stove though, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But previous shows have been great. The highlight of one a couple of years ago was when the crowd on one side completely disappeared in a cloud of exhaust smoke when the T-72 moved off. The coughing nearly drowned out the engine noise! John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 10/6 update. Replaced the plastic Mg barrels with brass ones and started fitting them. Added the Norwegian log fire Kev requested this morning. I'll have to drill a hole in the cabin roof for the chimney but it will look rather sexy I think: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, might even be able to rustle that up as well, just waiting for Keith to request a rooftop Jacuzzi with Kate Perry in it ( ). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Thise metal barrels looks good. Are they much better then the plastic ones? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest Kris I think if i had left the plastic ones on instead of these no one would have noticed and the detailing would have been marginally better. PE and Brass isn't always an improvement on the OOB parts. Of course this is a secret so no one will know...................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up leaving the main body of the weapons plastic and just replaced the barrels at the end. One thing to be aware of when it comes to the ceiling, I found the angles were not quite steep enough and so the roof sat like a partly opened can. I was hoping to have it so the roof could be lifted away but in the end I had to seal it down. Hopefully it was just a qwerk of my particular kit but thought I would let you know.

Thanks for the tip Mike, have been test fitting the four "walls" all the way. I'm hoping things will mate up with super glue and poly glue and any gaps with several sorts of putty. If that doesn't help maybe harsh language.................................................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally found the walls one of the easiest to fit as they were so well engineered. The fine gaps that were present were small enough that the primer filled the holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 11/6 update. Mike was correct about the fit of side panels. The roof would appear to be a bit of a challenge, still time to think about the plan of attack though: Barbecue time, cheers 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
