Valerka thanks for the info.

This looks really nice. The angle will really help the visual appeal.
The size isn't super imposing and still gives you enough room to work with.

Yup looks great and massive... keep them coming !!

Incredible work! is spectacular, do not know how lucky you have envy to have so much free space

Saludos

This should be a stunner i look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Awesome project! You've got your hands full for a while, looking forward to seeing your progress!

Cheers -

What a nice surprise! I'm doing the same project with a BR-52.

Quite the build. Looking forward to your progress. I just wish I could have the space to build something that size.

I second that one Sheldon!
You are certainly lucky that you have such a vast space to work in..with such a project you need plenty of room!
I have to admire you for taking on such a large project..this ain't no plane or tank and the amount of parts that have to be assembled are more than enough to give me a coronary
Good luck with the painting and dio mate, one suggestion would be for your next project (all but a minor one) and that is to cut your diorama edges off at a 45° angle.
It will save you sanding the corners flush and leave the base a little more aesthetically appealing .
Cheers,
Shay

Thanks everyone for the replys I will have some pics up on Sunday.

Well looks like the project is back on track. I hope by the weekend to have some progress. Trying to work things out looking hopeful.
Sheldon

Good for you....i look forward to your progress....I have this kit on the shelf and am looking to the right time to start. I like your ideas...

As you get some time, just post what you can. Life is what it is and we'll still be here.

Hello time for a update I have been working on the base I built up theground levels and put on the first coat of texture paint. Also made a mold for extra shells and crates for the shells.
The figure building is going fine 12 so far.I ordered a Tamiya field kitchen set it will be here soon. Any ideas on support vehicles all ideas welcome. I have some pics I will add later today I have to go to work know.
Thanks for all the support Sheldon

Here is some of the ground work


The first coat of texture paint

Some of the crew figures

making a mold for extra ammo

This is what I have been doing I hope to make some good progress this weekend
Sheldon

Looking good, Sheldon. Good that everything worked out at home.

I need to look into casting of extra parts. I have never tried it, but it could be very handing for some resin parts.

Looking forward to see more of this monster project.

Nice work so far! Good luck with the sleeper buckles. I did a much smaller project and painting them all individually almost ruined me!

Thanks

Stuart

Hi
All I can say is WOW!!!! Way to go!!
Thanks Lee

Hello everyone
Anyone wanting to build to build this railgun then get some glue and go at it. It is a wonderful model to build everything fits great instrutions are very good. There are some small parts that are a challange but that is part of the fun. I have a few details to do then I will start painting.
Here is some pics of my first mock up what do yuo think





Well back to the work bench I have another project to finish for a campign that ends tomorrow.
Sheldon

Wow, you're a long way along. Looking very nice, great figure set, great vehicle set.
I know its way early, just watch the angle of the supporting vehicles. Don't make them to similar.
