it is a big job,but in some ways maybe easy than making a small Dragon kit,with 1M,bits to it,:D

Good work on the wheels, always a pain to paint them for me, so well done there Steve

builder , the black tyre part of the wheel comes separate , so unfortunately I still have a lot of taping and painting to do

Looks like a great build project, what you done so far looks great.
I'm still waiting to start my first build

thank's colin ,monica , I just told myself I'm a fair way into the build , and then I look at the part's that are left , groan !!
have to get a stencil made up the moggy Iv

I was like that with the thousands of tiny windows on my current build. Lots of swearing, lots of putty and nearly 3 months on the drilling process alone..... loved it.

 

[steve5]

me too !!!

 

[steve5]

got the track's just about finished , all 600 pices . sorry colin LOL

Great progress Steve, you're certainly much quicker than I am! The interior is coming along nicely - the engine, gearbox and final drives look great in place.

have you posted pics , I would love to see them

Here's the build thread for the Panther.

I'm afraid I stopped the Pz.IV build and it I think the threads been deleted built is still under construction as part of a much bigger 1/16 project.

Anyway, good luck with the rest of the build.

Cheers

Looks like you're cracking along with this one Steve - especially as I can see the lower hull being built up in the background

thanks guy's , I had a day's holiday's over x-mas so was able to get really stuck in , back to work now , such is life

 

[steve5]

just had a look at your build paul ,I'd need an engineering degree for that one , really nice work, hope you get back to it soon friend ,
my token effort at something other , saw a thread on u tube how to make the hinges work , had a go , really pleased , ordered some extra long drill bit's for the other hatches .

 

[dubster72]

That's a great idea Steve - one of the benefits of the larger scale. Now you can display the transmission

 

[Spree]

Dude your rapid and it's still looking ace

thank's guy's , your right patrick , the larger scale stuff lend's itself to a bit of modification

 

[steve5]

dry fitted the top ammo boxes , radiator and front divider , toying with the idea of a brass top on the radiator . now to make some more ammo .
