Well guys now that I'm back to work on this project I can say, thing's are working out really well. First here's some up date photos on my turret work.




An I can say that the photos of that mine plough is not the right one for my ABV. Notice how far back the middel sled arm sites.


An on the plough the middel or center arm sites closer to the front blade. Really it's mounted just behind that small front blade.


Any way I have some new photos showing me just how this plough is made. I now know it's in three sections. and that all three sled arms get mounted once the frist three lower parts are mounted.
My photos are a bit fuzzy so I'm going to take a lot of photos of my work, so you will see the full lay out of the plough.

More Comming soon.

An this plough hows name I don't know, isw only made of two parts in front. The two blades and there mounts.

Long time no see Caveman. Expect to see more updates.

SUPER excited that you're back on it! It's going to be a great build, from the looks of things.

Yes guys' I'm working hard to get this turret finished so that I can start on that plough. It's the reson I started this build in the first place. So a little later to day I will have up more photos.

this looks amazing !

Sorry guys, I said I would have photos up to day an I feld to post any work this after noon. Kis basketball came up and I had to go and cover that game. So I'm working right now and I'll post on the 24 of tomorrow.

Cavester, the Pearson Plow in the last photo is broken down in order to fit on the purpose built shipping pallet. Outta here, Mike sends . . .

First off to let any one that may way to buy my ABV project. It's not for sale at any price.
Now this is what I have so far, I hope you like. Oh and you may notice that the commanders turret rotates and the hatch opens.

Who told you we want to buy it ? We just want you to give it as a master for a future plastic release

Excellent and impressive job Caveman. The plow won't be the easiest part but I'm pretty sure you'll tackle it way better than I could do. Keep on the good job.

Looks excellent so far. A beautiful build, if by 'beautiful' you mean a slathering beast ready to lay to waste to combatents frozen in fear. Yeah, that kind of beautiful.

I think you've got a WW2 era ammo box holder for the .50 there, just use a regular Abrams one.

Jim

"bison": We just want you to give it. LOL Give it.... I love that. Give it for free so some one can make money of my hard work. That sounds grate, don't it guys!
Well I got the idea for adding the ammo boxies from this photo. The boxies I have look like the photo. or am I rong?




"retiredyank" I just love how you used the word "beautiful". Thanks man.

Well, I meant the ammo feed tray ON the .50 cal, like what I've circled here (original photo from J. DeRosa, Prime Portal) Unless you've just temporarily placed the Academy .50 on there for now. (it shouldn't have the spade grips on either)



Jim

At least I would have tried

Keep on enjoying us with your build !

Mate, your work is simply amazing, you are a wizard!!!
Can't wait to see it finished.
Lucio

Nice work with the scratch building

Thanks for looking in guys. I noticed that no one pointed out that the LIC-Carrers were to big. Well I fixed them and thing's are shapping up well.

Yeah I'm really digging it. Nice clean pieces, like those container (mic-lic) boxes. I haven't had the time to get back to mine, maybe one day soon. Looking forward to your next posting.

Happy Modeling,
Joe
