Renarts, I'd be glad to but it may be a while before I can start on it. I just don't have room on my workdesk right now but hopefully I'll be moving soon where I can get a bigger desk to work on. I'll be sure to share when I do start it.

Hey Eric,

If its not too much trouble, could you periodicly post progress pics of the build and keep us updated to how your doing and your response to the kit and the build process? I think it would be kind of fun if you could share the trials and tribulations of this build.

I'll do that for you tomorrow evening shermanfreak! I left it at my fiances house because I'm running out of storage room. I'll be taking my camera over there tomorrow for her sons birthday anyway so I'll try to get some for you. (If I don't go nuts and forget with everything going on Tongue [:P] Big Smile [:D] )

I'll do that M1.

I forgot to mention that the tremendous one piece casting for the lower "hull" is in fact straight as an arrow and very well done! No warping on it at all. Big Smile [:D]

1/35 Leopold, it's here
Posted by erush on Monday, July 21, 2003 12:06 PM
Well, I was in the hobby shop today on my lunch break when up drives the Fed-Ex truck with two HUGE boxes from Dragon and yes they contained 5 of the new Leopold kits.

I was thinking of holding out for the Trumpeter but after pawing through the Dragon Blush [:I] I think there is plenty of detail there without all the extra parts the Trumpeter is supposed to have. There are p/e screens , chain and string included in the kit plus the rail bed which has the bed, cross ties and rails as seperate pieces. Over all it looks great and if any real detail is lacking I thinkg Aber or someone will end up doing a p/e set for it.

As you can probably tell, one of them is sitting in my back seat (all of it Big Smile [:D] ). My dealer gave me a discount I couldn't refuse Big Smile [:D] Tongue [:P]

Now when will Jordio do a turned aluminum barrel??? Tongue [:P]
