Thanks Dave but it can be a real headache sometimes as now the tracks{ Panda Plastic }ones don't fit the around the drive sprocket.
So that means some surgery is in store or replacement drive sprockets and that means the mount needs to go.
Almost like a snowball on top of a mountain, time it rolls to the bottom a big avalanche.

Looking good Jeff! I've never been good at the Mr. Surfacer, I tried it as a practice test run type thing and it didnt look good on the spare plastic i have. Its in a spray can, don't know if thats the only way they make it. Picked it up at the LHS in Taegu.

I like the work you did with the casting numbers, it will go a great way to adding detail to her.
Is working with resin a P.I.A?

Thanks Justin that Tiger I is looking good dude.

Bad about the cut though.

Okay Mr.surfacer comes in bottle form also 500 and 1200.

Maybe he can order you some if you ask the LHS guy.

Well a few updates.


I did have to make the drive sprockets bigger a tad,all cleaned up now.



Also got some links put together and changed one side of the idler will get on the other one soon.



Thanks for looking.

Update

Tracks one side done.




A little surgery to the rear.

HI Jeff,

What was the casting numbers you added to the top of the turret?

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike yes the kit is kind of weird.

Wish I would of bought the Academy Lee instead.

I sent you a Pm about the casting numbers.

Jeff, she is really coming along. It should look excellent in your dio.

I appreciate the comments on the Tiger! Keep it up bud.

Thanks Justin still slugging away on this "old Dog " of a Kit.


Added rear doors,still need to find some fishtail exhaust pipes.









A little more on the Base.




Comment all welcome and appreciated.

Still learning and will be until our eyes close.

Hey, Jeff...

Base looking good so far!
I need to take the plunge and try my first attempt at some ground work.

Keep it up, bud!

Thanks Per-Erik for the comments.
Me I need to learn also.

A little more base work.



What it might look like if I do not buy and build the Academy Lee instead of this one.





Those two spots where the glue were piss me off but nothing I can do until I get those boxes back on.






Thanks all.

Looking great Jeff. Keep it coming. I really like what you have done with the that background. It looks very good.

Well after a Few replies from some people that maybe was to yellow I am reworking the base.














Comments welcome

Lookin' much better this one!
Thumbs up, dude!

Jeff,

I was wondering what the heck happend to you and your Lee! The base looks real good pal!
The Lee is looking good too!

Hey Jeff,

Cool work you have there.

I am now finishing up the same tam M3 Lee kit, it was a pre-owned and half built discount kit. I must say I hadn't had such fun doing building for a long long time despite the kit is as old as me.

I am doing up the 2nd Armoured Div "Hell on wheels". Good luck with your build!

Cheers
Musicwerks

its great what your eoing to the reli old kit

the base is looking great the weahtering especially which theater is the lee going to be in?

First Thanks all.

I guess my Yellow was a tad to much.

Per-Erik so What is up dude?

Justin well still slugging away on it.

I have been doing the Academy Lee also.

Kiong thanks it was a pretty good kit for the time,even if off in detail and all.

At least it does not have the Dreaded hole for the Battery thing or the Metal axle.

Academy has a large oval hole that needs to filled in the bottom of theirs,which I forgot to do before I glued the interior in.

James Tunisia is where I am heading for.

Well thanks again and back at it.

Happy New Year all.

Still slugging away slow but slugging.

Jeff,

Great job on an old beast of a kit. Looking forward to seeing it all come together.
Darryl

Great work Jeff. Love what you did to the old tamiya kit. The base with rocks and new colour colour also looks a winner. Will be following.

Thanks Darryl and Frank.

I will give it my best shot Frank,but still way behind you.

But learning is the process.

You know that I like some things better on the "old Tamiya kit " better then the "new " Academy kit.

Thanks again.

Well one set of tracks on the Academy Lee.
Thought I would keep both Lee's together.
Yes a Different base will be made for it.

Thanks for looking.

Well dropped on the Tamiya Lee for awhile.
Academy Decals suck Wind.

Looking good!

I like both of the bases. Wish I could make a "Kentucky" Lee for myself.

Good job on both of the kits so far,
Rich

Jeff

cheers
Andy
