Members Mikester Posted June 25, 2019 Members Posted June 25, 2019 Gorgeous, and I believe this our first completion for this GB. Congrats! 4
Jackster Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 That looks fantastic Carl! I really like the way that the tracks sit. Would not want to be in the Dingo and find that in my way :-) Cheers Kev 3
Jeff Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Yeah, Carl, that looks great, you did a masterful job, and I can't get over how fast you did it..... the end result is top drawer Bud... 2
Martinnfb Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Masterful build Carl. What would you say about the track, was it with the effort? Cheers M. 2

Most of that was due to the kit. No interior to worry about, I was able to leave most of the tools off and a minimum of teeny tiny PE bits. If I had stuck with the kit tracks, it would have probably taken a bit longer. 2

I'd say the Rye Field tracks are worth it. They went together very nicely for me. The sprue attachment cleanup for each link wasn't bad. I used a round chisel to cut them off which speeded things up. I like that you can join up to 10 links at the same time. The pins can be fragile though so you have to show some care once they're done. Plus they're fairly inexpensive. 3
Wumm Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Looks stunning against the black backdrop... Very well done! 3
Bomber_County Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Carl, The beast looks stunning, love the zim and the subtle dust and weathering looks perfect. Really like the black background for photographing the model...... 2
Martinnfb Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I just ordered this kit on Ebay anger my previously ordered one from Dragon didn't arrive . Talking about bad influence LOL 2
