Ok everyone, finally with some help from jackhammer81 i now know how to make my piece of crap cam take pictures, and decided to post a few on my first model so far. So ..let me know wat you think . Hit me with both barrels, be honest. The pics are not the best seeing as how i am not use to taking pics of models yet. Any and all comments welcome. Thanks,
Mary

So far it looks O.K., can't tell yet how it will come out. Looks to be the Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog or M42 Duster. Two suggestions, fill the motorization holes in the hull, and the round parts on the tow hooks are molding blocks and not part of the tank, they need to be removed. Lastly, this post really needs to be in the Rivet Review Board. That is the place to get opinions and ideas on how your models are coming alond. It has nothing to do with a diorama yet.

The road wheels are coming along great, You can not even see any of the model marks your sanding went increditable.

I can not wait to see more of your uodates.Wha is your next step in the assemble?

Happy Modeling

Since that is a Tamiya kit,it is close to being an early production M-41.So I figure the front idler can be steel,with wear /rust on the part that contacts the track.The wooden diorama base needs some work,it reminds me of a picnic table :-) :-) :-) :-)

Very nice Tanky! It should turn out to be a nice model!!! Good luck and Have fun! Only Thing I noticed was Already mentioned And good job on getting a smooth surface with the brush!

wELL ANOTHER GREAT TALENT IS RISING !!!!!!!!
nICE WORK on sanding and building the first parts and well aligned road wheels . Keep on that basis and u ll go very very good.
U also need a frame on the diorama base and some Ground work !!!!looks like wood at this time !!!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
well done Mary

Mary so glad you posted on here. It looks to be coming along quite nicely. Maybe when you get ready to paint you can take a pause and start another project to give me time to get that airbrush to you Keep working and keep posting. And you do need to get some ground work on that base. Kevin

Great start Mary! Keep up the good work, you are doing fine, take your time and ENJOY your project.

The sanding paid off - well done on the road wheels.

My 2cents on the motorization holes. If you're not going to put it in a contest or lift it up then filling is an option.

The hook part on the tall piece sticking up in the middle may not be essential and may cause problems during sub assembly test fitting and such. You may want to take the time to experiment with what and how and why it hooks and contemplate removing the hook tooth part.
