Hi;

I Still have mine on the Work Bench; I was really jazzed up on getting mine----------Until-----I started trying to Figure out just How in Hades did Trumpy put together these Instruction's !!!!!!! If you follow them the Boom will be next to Impossible to fit the Cables into the Reels !!
They make you believe that everything will Work !-----NOT--
The next Mind Game came next trying to get the Dozer Blade to Align with the Bottom front lower hull !!
After many Hours on the net trying to figure it out' I finally Thru Up my Hands in Disgust and locked myself in the Closet and had A Good Cry !! Trumpeter's Instructions leave A Lot in the disapprove section which should have been another great kit !!

CHEERS; MIKE.

I agree Trumpeters are as bad as Dragons.
Anyway here's the start of the build.
The lower hull.

These 2 go as shown, the instructions have the numbers reversed.


Finished for today.

Hi; Don.

I will Follow your progress with Great interest !!
If I mite ask ? Are you going to build your Vehicle in A Dio type setting or stand alone static type ! I think my problem starts, as I try and do to many things at the same time.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi Mike.
I really don't do Dio things.
I'm just making it a shelf sitter with the crane deployed and the hook in the lift position. Hey maby I'll hang a T72 engine on the end.
Regards.

Hi; Don.

That's just how I was going to depict my ARV; I had already built A T-90 with A Empty engine compartment that I had used with the Verlinden Engine detail set. I had even went ahead and built the Base that it was going to sit on !!
OH Well" -- Better laid plans of Mice & Me !!

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi Mike, Here's some more.
The Sprocket and Wheels this time.
The Sprocket fit is a little sloppy, I used a metal ruler to get the teeth to line up.

Note the inside rim of the wheels, there are 2 little bumps that line up with the small divots in the oposite rims.

I shortened the inside retainers a little to get them to go together easier.

Here's the end view before applying the glue.




I painted the lower hull and wheels.
Here they are mounted.



I'm finished for now, I hope to have the Track ready in a few days.

The instructions aren't clear where and how parts B3 & B4 go.

Here is where and how.


The instructions don't show where all the small parts go here is where they go.

Hi; Don.

"Nice Work" I bypassed the Dozer Blade for the present, and went ahead with the other sections, trying to follow the instruction's the best I could. FYI the other section that you will need to take it slow is the Box that goes on the rear deck do the small parts that are hard to align on the frame. I went and Back Dated my BREM to A Early Version with Different Road Wheels & Tracks !!
Keep Up the Good Work !!!!

CHEERS; MIKE.

Hi guys,
I'm not feeling to good right now.
I think that I somehow caught that dam Covid 19 Virus.
Don't know if I'll survive it as I'm 73 Years old.
Any way I have this build complete, there's a total of about 119 Pics.
I will try to get them all posted, so no interuptions please.
Donald
