Getting closer. Some pe grill work on the engine, finish the pe boxes then the fun part painting and weathering.

Looking good, Ryan!  Whose figure is that?

- Mika

Thanks Mika, he is a zvezda tank crew figure. I have messing with him since Lee gave the figure talk. Only thing I have done is cut off the right hand to make him wave and make his left hand more flat.

I want to double check my track alignment but I should be able to get you those four links at the meeting.

All I have left is paint and weathering.

Was playing with AK Interactive 4BO set. I need more practice and have another victim.

Look forward to weathering this beast. Didn't want to mess with PE bolts so I punched out the hex bolts.

Ryan the modulation looks great. I have not tried the AK sets but they look real nice.

They are nice but I havn't worked out the proper use. By that I mean, I think I went to heavy on some coats losing the modulation effect they are suppose to give you. I do like just adding a few drops of each and jumping through all colors in a few minutes.

A little practice and you will be knocking it out of the park.

It's either 99% done or going in the bin, it's all user error I figure.

Only thing I plan to do is paint the machine guns and reinstall the rear gun that got broken off. I might work with track some more as that is what I don't like. One side just needs to be reconnected, the other side is a PITA for me. The bonus is I got to try lots of different things some things I will reuse others I will not.
