Hello,

My contribution to the campaign:







Need to move on -- 3 more campaign builds to finish in the next 30 days

Thanks for having me in this campaign, congrats to all finishers!

Cheers,

Tat

Track sag is another of those judgement issues. Sometimes I see a model and think it is overdone and then see a photo that shows the tracks really were that loose on a service vehicle at times.

I sometimes find it difficult to figure just how many links will be needed ahead of time...

Tat, that is a nice little kit and you did a great job on it. Jeff

Please, need to understand, I have uploaded photos of finished built on my own photo gallery, it's OK.

But they don't appears in the general gallery. Do I have to upload them here too ?

The "saggiest" I've seen were on T-34 / KV-1 period pics. When I started on armor I thought the extreme sag looked cool, but as I went on learned that it was not good practice in actual use. On determining the number of links, I'd use the number (if available) as a guide. Most often though, I'd just divide the total links in 2 giving me an allocation to work on per track run. I'd definitely be in trouble if the links seem to run out with still some amount of length to build Never had that so far.

Thanks Jeff! I decided to keep it "clean" this time. Thought about putting chips and scratches -- still need to get the skills up for those

Congrats on your finish Alex! I like your treatment on the clear parts. You need to put up a couple of finished pics in the campaign gallery to be awarded the ribbon. Upload them here: https://gallery.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/30197

Thanks Alex.

As I understand the standard allocation is 10MB per member. Subscribers to KitMaker have more, 500MB IIRC.

You'll need to delete pics to free up some space. I took a peek in your gallery and saw that the sizes of your pics are in excess of 1MB each so you also need to reduce the size of pics you upload. I use MS Office to edit pics, so resizing to say 640 x 480 pixels nets to an image size of about 160KB -- lesser pixels = lesser image size. I believe you can resize images using MS Paint as well.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Tat

John - Your JS-4 is very impressive. It must have been very intimidating to see one ion the field. You have a resin turret. Did it correct something on the model or was it to make a different version?
