I know I have dimensions for it somewhere, I'll dig them up.

Sean

Perfect! I can add the part from that.
Many thanks for the image/link

Mike

No problem Mike. I can seem to find my dimensions but obviously it needs to fit between the hull and storage box.

thanks dave

well made some great progress this week with the help of Mike Roof we made a jig for the slat armor and the first side pieces as well I musts say that he is the master I also got the pluming done for the fuel tanks as well have some pic hope you'll like














































thanks dave

Dave,

Looking REALLY good, sir!

The fuel line plumbing and the electrical lines really add to what appears to be an already great kit.

Your jig (from Mike's Jig Shop?) looks like it will giving you exactly what you need for the slat armor.

Looking forward to seeing this in a couple weeks.

@ Jeff: Hey, Jeff, you know...

"There's a Jig for That!"

Or, as we say in the shop...

"Let's get jiggy!"

Dave fit right in.

@ Dave: Looking good, mi amigo! I'm glad the slat armor is building up nicely for you.

I'll be looking forward to seeing this one at the next club meeting, too!

Happy modeling!

That is some awesome scratch-building right there- masterful work from Mike and Dave. Brilliant fuel lines too- they really do look realistic.

Excellent stuff... You should make a few sets and sell them at the show

Keith.

Great work! Handy dude! Very impressive

That is just . . .

I got this kit in my stash, I'll see how this kit goes an then I'll use the build steps and pictures. I didn't think the kit had slat armor. Thats what got me interested to see that there is other materials can be used to make the slat armour because the brass ones are had to do. I bought the jig tool but haven't used the tool yet been stuck on this Abrams. The 3 tone camo has me in a funk. Everything I did before was one tone. But going slow and marking out where the camo should go with a thin sharp then I'll trace the lines with the color and so on.

Happy Modeling

thanks all but i must give the credit to mike he did most of the work and made it look so easy i'm trying to make the next set and have mest up at least 3 time already
William the kit is great and all i can say about the paint is just try you can always repaint it
dave

hay'll update sorry that it's been soon time life started on the turrent and working on some more slat hope you'll like




























the front armor is to smooth so I will and some casting texture

Phil.

You are my hero. May I have your autograph?

I print my own styrene money for modeling purpose

Every bit is truly impressive. Think I'll keep my T-62's on the shelf a bit long before I start on one. I have practice to do.

You have inspire me to pick up this site. I want to try the same foot steps here as you took.

Cheers,
Tom
