Meet Olga,

[monica]

well lads no teeth or claws but she packs a big cannon,


I have wonted to do one of these for year,s and I got lucky and got a good one,


I have never done a trumpet kit before and this just went together like a dream,


so have the hull,and turret done and start the wheels,


but oh my the glue gets to you after a few hrs so rest time,


and anyway the walking dead on in 45 min,s :D


So anyway I have named her Olga,I think you should guess why,:rolleyes:


well I hope your liking her so far,


plus its fun doing some think so different :D

It definitely needs a crew Moni, just to show the scale of that enormous turret!

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice choice Monica

 

[tanktrack]

:rolleyes:

As far as I know Moni spray it with an olive rattle can and chuck some mud at it. That's what all the the other armour modellers do!!

 

[Alan 45]

Looks good moni , a nice whitewash over olive green and some rust powders would make it look great

 

[Snowman]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of 'ol "evy metal"!!


You have my interest!

And Gee all these years I 've worked so hard on them! If only I knewo_O

 

[grumpa]

Hope you go with the rubber band tracks, those sectional/ridged things are just awful. Track sag is very important with this particular vehicle, and there are ways to make the naughty snakes behave:eek:.....Jim

 

[eddiesolo]

A big bruiser...wouldn't want to go on a date with 'Olga'...o_O

I think the link & length tracks come with pre-formed sag

 

[grumpa]

I think the link & length tracks come with pre-formed sag

Now That I look more closely at the photos I do believe I can see some sort of wave to them, never seen that before, almost takes all the fun out of battling the vinyl serpents, What next, prepainted, weathered, built?o_O

Moni might still choose to use the vinyl tracks! Both are very detailed, although I'm always in favour of individual link ones - you'll have to look away Jim when I start my Bronco KV 85!

Have nothing against indy - tracks but I do hate to get bogged down with them, when I did my Pershing - 180 - or so links it might not have been so bad if I didn't have to meticulously clean each one or the damn things wouldn't fit together:mad: not fun for an arthritic old goat like me:oops:.............Jim

 

[noble]

Be keeping an eye on this one Monica.


Nice work so far.
