Hi,
Some time ago I began working on Tamiya's Challenger.
I added some details on turret and started to scratchbuild its rear bin.







Still there is a lot of work to do...

very nice work Yury well done, looking forward to seeing more of this one.

Nice work on the scratch building! Don't forget the seem on the gun barrel. Is the brass on the turret bin scratch as well or from a photo etch set? It really looks good!


cheers

wow, that is some seriously nice work you have going! Very impressive

Great details and fantastic work on the brass.

Paul

I'll be watching this thread some very nice detail.

Thank you all for your interest and comments.



It's scratch. The bin is made of Evergreen's profiles and sheets, copper and brass foils, copper and brass wires and a small piece of Aber's PE mesh.

Process goes slowly. I added some details to the basket:





Still too many details to add. To say the truth, I have a feeling as if I have bitten off more than I can chow
To have a little rest from the turret I begun to work with the hull:





Your comments and criticism are welcomed.

Really nice scratch work there. Nice looking welds too. I iwll be following this one since I too started this kit some time ago and it has been on the back burner for a while;e now. Want to see your progress.

Maybe I've been missing some detail pictures but what is the inspiration for all the work by the pivot for the driver's hatch?

Great job! Like the level of detail! Don't be intimidated just keep going one piece at a time !

Thanks. I've never seen a good picture of that area before. Are there other good detail pictures?
