I'm cracking on with the turret today, one subassembly left to go and five to attach in addition to the 7 already mounted -- and I just mounted the main gun as well. Getting it straight is almost a philosophic exercise... Small dressing parts underway, some of them etch. I'm hoping to have a pic tonight, with the turret complete to the pre-painting stage, with all locator points treated with masking solution...

I'm sorry for not replying to anything you guys posted. I was really busy lately and I completely forgot about this GB... All the builds here look fantastic! Keep those updates coming guys!
I should be able to start work on my Hummel in January...
Hey thanks for the updates guys I was beginning to feel like the Lone Ranger here.
Keep them coming

Tony: She's so close!
Mike: Looking good! And glad to see I'm not the only one to sometimes pull out the 'manly tools' to beat a model into submission!
Just to prove I'm actually doing something here... I must have put on the top side pieces on the fighting compartment crooked since they really looked bad when I primed the whole thing. Maybe I should have pried them off but I'm trying to putty and sand them to fit.

Great progress happening here, Tony! This one will be finished quite soon, methinks!
I've got back onboard the AS-90 and have been making progress on both plastic and etch fronts. Here's a pic from today:
I've fiddled with a lot of PE and very little shows here but the screens, which are the easiest of all... Next shot should be the turret loaded up with heaps of detail, including loads of etch.
I found a shot from HGWT II, when I was pulling the rear of the hull into alignment, I don't recall if it was ever uploaded, probably not -- so here it is. Fit can be a dicey thing in some kits and sometimes you just have to go with a real handyman solution -- no, not duct tape, this time...
...but a couple of C clamps sure did the job!
Cheers, Mike/TB379
spent 3 winters in germany. couldn't get mortar tracks into one firing point. also had a bn eercise canceled when at ft carson due to snow and sub zero temps. now i just stock up on supplies and stay home, build, read, play computer games, do puzzles.
in 2 weeks we could have a couple of days of light jacket weather. plus the low humidity helps.

Tight as a fiddle string Wayne.
I spent a year and a half up in Labrador and I got all the winter weather during that time to last me forever.
Winters around here aren't to bad most years
Come on man and get S I L L Y
glad you tightened up the tracks. live track shouldn't sag. just sehr kalt here. snowed much of tues night and yesterday but not a lot of accumulation here. ski resorts did well. glad i can airbrush acrylics in the bunker.
Tracks are base painted, fitted and ready to be weathered.
Man oh Man the snow is really coming down here in the Ozarks Tony lee

I've been called far worse !
I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
That's it Chris Postem if you gotem.
What an odd name "The Other Tony". Depending on the angle of the lights the OD changes shades.
Just an accident of nature when mixing, matching and layering different brands of OD.
Wayne how about a picture or two buddy, it adds to the drama.
Tony, that side on view really shows the size of that weapon. What an awesome unit. I like the precise finish so far.
Cheers

I've added the ammo tubes, though I made the yellow bands a bit large, added the decals for the 13th RCA and did some paint touch ups.
Weathering to come next.
well DANA is all basecoated pukey pale green and all the tools and aiming stakes and between the 2 "turret" halves done, just waiting for the motivation to do the silly putty and start the camo. but have not been idle, FLAK 36 is basecoated gray and going tiogether today and i have decided on a what if camp pattern for 1/35 VOSPER plus some other work on it. and all the gray on LCVP is done and, of course, now i found the AM PE for it in my stash.
Hey Guys we need some activity in here.
Makin progress on those Kaizen Tracks, another two or three days I should have this side assembled.
See Ya Later Tony lee
Tony, Wayne those are looking fantastic. I can't wait to see em finished.
No metal tracks this time Garz i'm going to try out a set of a new brand recently released.

Half the price of metal and they look strong.
Yeah and updates aren't much good without pictures.
Awesome Tony!,
Are you waiting for metal tracks?.
Guys, we need more updates on this GB...
Hi Jim -- yes it is! I worked on the gun mount last night and added some subassemblies and detail parts to the turret, but that first piece of etch I attached yesterday has today vanished... I have minimal patience with etch at the best of times, this aspect -- zero strength to withstand subsequent handling -- diminishes it even further. I'll not be mucking about with tool clamps or anything like that, just getting on with the main stuff and getting this animal done!
Thunderbolt379 Well, it's official, I just folded my first new piece of etch for the AS-90, so I guess the project is back on! M/TB379

Is that the one I sent you way back in HGWT 1? About time!

Thanks Fellows
My tracks will be here Thursday and that'll slow me down.
Wayne and Tony -- looking SHARP both! Fabulous paint, looking sooooo good!
Mike/TB379
Tony: I was joking about you being finished despite my head start but looks you'll be done way ahead of me! Looks great, I hope mine looks 10% as good.
Wayne: the DANA is just plain cool looking. Sharp work!
