Hi all
here are some photos of my lastest AFV project DMLs IS-2. This will be my first attempt at indis. The two hull halfs are just sitting there for the photo .

Looking good so far, keep up the good work!

one thinghy about indy track... NEVER try to do them with super glue

Lord Kiwi:

Looks like a good build so far Andy. The big beefy Russian armor is a lot of fun to build.

I'm looking forward to how your preshading, and highlighting comes out on this one. Good luck on the indi links.

ps: If needed, you can search this site for some indi link construction tips. I think Sabot put out a helpful forum thread not more than a month or so ago.

Hi Andy. When you add the tracks, the hull top will not sit properly on the bottom hull, as there is not enough of a gap to fit the tracks as well below the fender. You will need to add a plastic strip over the whole lip of the the bottom hull.
Dry fit some track on the top now before you add the tracks, see what height you need to build it up. Build it up before you add tracks so you can tidy it all up!
This probelm is in all dragons JS-IIs. Hopefully you get this message in time!

Plasticbattle,
Thanks for that i will do a try fit today. Is there anything else i need to be weary of?

nice, and clean build. I noted that the barrel seems to be seamless, a feat that I yet able to pull off, very nice. Anzac II.

Andy,looks great so far Did you leave the sprockes and idlers loose? If you do that,paint them seperatley,then add them on when you put on the tracks,they should fit on there good

Hi Andy. Check out this link for some history, build tips, painting tips and opinions on the dragon JSII
The Stalin Brothers!
This should be a good help or at least offer some inspiration!

Hi Andy-

Good job on the construction phase so far - I echo SS-74's sentiments about the seamless barrel....WELL DONE :-)

Keep us posted after you get some paint on this baby..... OD??? hehehe

Later-
Nelson

Thanks for all the comments guys, I have some photos to upload so i will post them later in the week (i may end up doing the IS-2 for my AGE campaign entry)
