BlrwestSiR Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just reading this thread for the first time. Your figures are exquisitely finished. Can't wait to see your progress on the Belle herself. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMicksta Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thank you, I appreciate your comments. The posts are going to be slow in coming. As with all modelers one build is not enough and we seem to get distracted with something else that comes along and takes your interest away. With saying that I too have again fallen into this category and have wanted to do a quick build in between working on the B17. Just quickly here is the reason why there are not many B17 wip images not coming through. It's an Aussie M1A1 Abrams with the Meng M1A1 AIM and some minor upgrades. This is going to be a quick build. A couple of month's sort of. 7 pieces for 1 track link Even drilled out each side of the track like the real thing. Michael 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunhertz Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 One look at those tracks and I'm back to the 17 lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Yeah Michael, with these tracks I can see that it will be a fast build . Workable tracks are best being assembled under influence of spiriting liquids to dampen the boring side of AFV-modelling. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMicksta Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Thanks Rob, First time using the Bronco working track,It was horrible and don't recommend it to anyone who thinks it will be easy. But when they are together and detailed they are the real deal and movable for plastic track and Bronco have excelled on this. Annnd yes I was drinking wine whilst building the second track Assembling the track together will be longer than building the kit.

LittleMicksta Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks Peter, The worst part about the tracks is cleaning out all the holes from the drill shavings Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FME erk Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have just joined the forum so I am being nosy and looking at everything. I am particularly interested in your figure because I intend to get the seven man RAF bomber crew for my HK Lancaster. I think you have done a terrific job on those Americans and they will surely compliment your B17 David. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Awesome figs! But those tracks... OMG. Watching other guys build Bronco, I've decided not to buy anything they make. Just too much for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Those figures look fantastic, but honestly, I cant justify spending that much on a set of figures. I have already spent way too much on AM for the B-17G in my stash. They will make for a very good diorama, will give you that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMicksta Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks Drifter. The figures will give the plane depth in scale. I am hoping to give the viewer the intention of looking further into the diorama to show each figure strolling through the grass to the plane. Just acquired the AK s white aluminium to use around the waist gunners area. Never used it before but will experiment on a small area to see how it goes. The black base is sprayed first then the aluminium is to be sprayed , hopefully as a highlighting colour as it would be good to see a little depth in the panels inside the fuselage. More to follow with this. Still have to clear the workbench of the Australian M1A1 Abrams , I'm in the fun stage the painting and weathering.
