Interested to see you have a go at figure altering. People like Neil and Richard make it look easy, which I'm sure it isn't, but it can make figures really look natural.

Hi Jim. Me too .
Yesterday finished the clean up of the tracks, nothing much just a quick drill to check holes were clear and removing a small nib on every one .
Going now to look at the figure parts .
Yesterday I was up to here with the build
The aerial was really well protected in the box after careful removal it went on.
I purposely used a bigger drill to make the holes in the turret.Too easy to damage the thin section aerial in attempting to fit .
Rear looks ok.
Then as I want to have the drivers hatch open while they stop to speak to the motorcycle crew I decided maybe they had some padding on the shield.
Might look a bit better when painted .
Off now to look at the selection on figures be fore I do the normal thing of buying more !

I’m in John looks like I’m just in time to watch you have a meltdown. I guess asking for a cup of Yorkshire Tea is out of the question at the moment.

Hi John
Apologies for being a tad late to the party.....struggling to find forum time even though the studies are over.
That does look like a challenging build you have on your hands. You could always try a 1/72 quick build one track kit with one piece tracks and running gear!
Keep up the good work.

Tea Please! Yorkshire tea of course!
I'm not surprised you aren't using the kit tracks, they look a nightmare.
Never the wrong time for a Yorkshire tea Lee.
Thanks Mick, of course any thing can go wrong after this !

Think I'll have a word with Matron !One pot of Yorkshire on its way. Me neither Graeme far too hard.
This afternoon I managed some tracks. Now needing 3.5 in my optovisor these tracks are both small and fiddly.
I managed about 20 odd and called it a day .
Will be nice when finished .
