first post. how are ya.

some progress pics from a project that's taking a good deal too long. making half the parts from scratch might've had something to do with it.

Welcome to Armorama. Your build is loking good so far. I'm assuming you have to sand off the kit's nasty rivets and add Grandt Line ones?

VERY NICE. You can see that a lot of work went into it. Keep on updating...

actually it's mostly sliced solder wire. i've not been buying aftermarket parts with the exception of the RPM track links to replace the rubber bands that came with this kit. plan on doing a writeup on modifying them to be workable.

update: posing the suspension to sit over the base.

Looks great so far, keep us posted.....

things are moving along. here's the tank with a bit of green:



i'm going for a really faded old paint type of look. the ot-26 predates ww2 by at least 10 years and the figure i'm using is from 1943 so i'm going with a stretch of imagination and trying to justify it with faded paint.

i'd like an opinion from others. should i leave the tank a faded solid green or add some brown/yellow block and stripe camo?
