Hi everybody!

I had a small time today to make changes on the engine deck. I have planed that I'll do the right sie skirt as well, but this voyager p.e. is so bad, that I had to spend all my time with this. Unfortunately they don't give enough details, so if you want to do a correct shape, a correct engine deck, you must to use all your practics, all your old and left over p.e. and of course, loads of wire. I don't have much evergreen, but I sware to god, I'll buy a dozen of it, couse i could use now easier than this p.e.
I know it looks ready now, but trust me, the end is far away from here! First of all, I have to finish this back area, after the right side skirt, and finish the front area (lamps, wires, and some welding imitation) after nothing else only the check up and fix the small problems. Hopefully I can make the side skirt on the next week, and after, only few things left before painting method.
So here are my photos about back area, hope you like it!? And if you have any idea, suggestion or constructive comment, don't hasitate to write a few line to me!

That's it for today! More update coming soon!

Cheers

Hello Everyone,

As I promised before, here are my new update about side skirts, at least from the left hand side one!
I used the Voyager kit (nothing else on the market) and I have to say that is pritty good! As I hated the basic kit, couse I think that is a peace of shit, this one is a real diamond. There are mistakes, and easy to do crap if you don't listen carefuly what you do, but the at the end you will be ok with that.
Note that the skirt is just glued to the plastic only with blue-tech, and many parts are missing, so that is not a final version! Just finished with the soldering, for the smaler parts I will use Super Attak gel glue.
Ok let see the photos, couse as they say one picture worth thousends of words!

Cheers

Hi all,

long time since last comment, but that was, just because I was busy. In the last few weeks, I almost finished the turret, now is almost 95% ready, and the hull is 40%, But next week i can do more progress, couse i will have some extra days.
So I finished, the front armor, but not everything, the wire and some smale P.E. still missing. I almost finished the turret, the "smoke garnet seed" I don't know is that the right word or not. Finished with the boxes,(bins) on the turret, (the back bin is working)Not all the welding imitation is ready at the moment, but almost. Ready the infra, and it's wiring. The only one thing what is missing from the turret is the telemeter. That is absolutely wrong, from Miniarm! So my friend will give me one correct one, but until that, i'm gona do some progress on the hull. And here are the photos.

I hope you like it, next week more progress on hull!


Cheers Gergo

As I promised, here are few new photos. Today I had only a short time to do anything, so I recreated the locks of the side bins, couse all of the hinge were completly wrong (Be careful the voyager set made a huge mistake on the draw!!!!!! use reference if you build one!)

And I also start to work on the gun. That is not ready yet, just started!

Next time, monday or thuesday, dipend of my days off.

Regards

T-72 A the beast of the Chechnyan rebels!

Hi everybody,

I'd like to show my  "new" project, a T-72 A version in rebels' hand. This vehicle was originaly, the Chechnyan army's beast, but when the revolution started they had to given back them to the Russian. That never hapend. This T-72A  Nr.490 trapped unit Dudayev from oppositions during the unsuccessful assault on Grozny, Nov. 26, 1994. Tank used militants-bandits rebels call them as you want, in urban battles with federal troops in January 1995.

That's my basic photo, I'll try to do everything the same as you can see.

I used the Tamiya kit for basic, the Miniarm turret, an RB Gun  and the voyager P.E. set (unfortunately it wasn't anything else available on the market. I think this set of P.E. a piece of shit, but we we cook from what we have!) I'll use the Friulmodells track set, and many many home scratch. I hope you will enjoy the photos! If you have any suggestion, constructive comment, don't hold yourself back, let me know in time!

Here are some other photos form this time, to feel the gunpowder. :D

And now some photos from my work bench..............

More photos coming tomorrow...........

Cheers

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the long silence, but I had a very busy half a year, get a new job, far away, gat a new flat, move out, move in, all my staff in separate boxes. So the faith wasn't kind with me about modelling in the last few months. Anyway couple of weeks ago, I could start again, and finaly I could finish it until the painting job. Not everything is done, but the most of the parts are ready. SO come and let see my beast at last before paint.
 

Cheers

near to the painting job

Hi all,

I had a spare time to do something on my modell before my holiday. So I finished yesterday the engine deck, and I started to do the side boxes. Unfortunately the E.T. models doesn't give any update for those boxes (I think that is business politic to buy the boxes P.E. as well) I think the Trumpeter's orogonal boxes are not too bad. I know you will have a lot work with that, but I don't think that we should buy a whole P.E. set to use, except if you want to use open boxes, or damaged boxes!
So today I've just already started, but tomorrow will finish it, so now only one photo is coming from that.

The holders will be ready from old P.E. sets, or something what left from old kits. I don't know yet.
I also finished the engine deck, what was a nightmare!!!!!! The Trumpeter completly forget the details about this side! Like a toy. So I had to looking for many many reference photos and start to build a new opener section. The photo is not the best, but tomorrow will fallow a good one!

And finaly ready the commanders hatch. loads of P.E. work and a bit home made things. Now looks like the real one. Some smale update is still missing but tomorrow will be completed!

So see you tomorrow with more updates!
