Dads203 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Thank you all for the great feedback More work on the crew figures today, I've booked the day off work and am going to have a few hours in the workshop. I'll have to sort out the driver figure for this build as the Valkyrie set on provides 2 figures, they are very well sculpted and will the business one painted up. The good thing is that you two sets of heads for each figure so one with the helmet and one with a beret, I'll use one of the spares for the driver figure. I just have to find a suitable torso to modify yet. Stay safe everyone Dan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I must say I'm hugely impressed with that kit and what you are doing with it. It looks excellent Edited April 24, 2020 by Mike Removing unnecessary photo quote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Cheers Si, So a suitable driver torso has been found and he's in place, I'll have to change his uniform slightly and sort out a parker for him but I think he will do. Head is held in place with Blue tac at the moment. Cheers Dan 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan-o Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Nice work as usual 👍I can’t get used to seeing Germans in soviet style helmets though! Decals or paint for the figures? Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Driver is now mid conversion from US Army to German Army, Green Stuff used to form the hood and other details. I'll have to let this cure before adding any more details, not brilliant but better than before Regards Dan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Nice mods on the figures chap. It's also nice to see you keep chunking out the updates so I know you're still breathing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Cheers chaps, I'm still here and well So the driver is cured off enough to handle and I've checked the fit and the position of his head with the torso and its not bad. Also modified the rear view mirrors, the plastic arms were just not going to cut it and they had some flash so they got replaced with brass rod. One more to fit to the top of the crane but that will get done once I rig the pullies and get the top of the boom glued on. Enjoy and stay safe people.

Dads203 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Cheers chaps, Small update today, padlocks added to the side bins that are just for storage. Winkie pot base added and the brass crane angle indicators added. Thinking of stowage so a few items being planned for the rear bin on the deck. A few chains and oil cans possibly. Stay safe and enjoy. Dan 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Cheers everyone for all the likes and comments, slow progress on the build I'm afraid but a bit more done. To keep the brass flowing on the build I soldered up the ammo box for the MG-3 and I'll modify it to fit the Takom mount. The mount needs more work as its missing a few bits and as you'll know I try not to shy away from sorting missing or incorrect detail on parts. Modified the spotlight on the roof s that its in the stowed position, I think most crews remove them all together. More laters 🙂 Stay safe Dan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 So, debating on which MG to use, I have the amazing Master MG-42 which is really a kit in its self or should I just use the kit part which is really good but mine is bowed quite badly. Here is the mount with ammo box and kit supplied MG-3, its not glued just dropped in place. I think it will be the Master version. Not the best pix but it gives you the idea.
