Thanks for all the comments guys! Yeah, I guess it is a factory! I have some more photos of Progress here, but I still didn't get any of my Monty's Caravan, SA 13 Gopher, or the Bofors gun and tractor. Darn Battery ran out again!
Here's more of my 1/72 scale Revell/Germany British MCV Warrior. I installed the tracks, and painted the wheels here:
After that I completed the turret:
Here's where I test fit everything to get a preview of what this kit was going to kinda look like when it's done:
You can see how I started a basecoat n the main hull. I'm obviously gonna refine that later!
I also got some more work done on my 1/72 scale Revell/Germany Spahpanzer Luchs:
As you can see from the intricate and detailed suspension assemblies, this is going kind of slow in order for me to be able to do it right. At least half of the assembly of this kit is devoted to the undercarriage!
Moving on to my Revell/Germany 1/72 scale Leopard, I got the tracks installed on the bogies. In this photo you you can see the tracks on the lower hull.
Yes, there is a gap in there that I cannot seem to resolve. It is hard to see in this photo. I guess it is based on the position on the drive sprocket, but I'm just gonna leave it. It would take major surgery to fix, and I guess I'm being lazy about that.
Next I painted the basecoat on the top hull. In this photo you can see (at least I hope you can!) what my answer to no PE is: I painted the round cooliing screens black, then dry-brushed the base coat over it to get a kind of screen appearance. Hey, it's not much, but it's all I can do!
Here's where I test fit the hull, turret and tracks together to see how it's gonna look:
I did the same with my 1/72 scale Revell/Germany British Challenger
Here's the tracks:
Here's the grills and vents painted black and dry-brushed:
And the test-fit to see how she's gonna look:
Once I get my batteries recharged, I'll shoot some more pics of the SA 13 Gopher, the Caravan, and the Bofors.
