Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

@richmac now that you’ve pointed that out….. you’re right 😂 It’s huge. I had to do 20 sets of very little wheels with suspension. I’m going to finish the top off tomorrow, prime her, spray a colour base then do the tracks.

How’s the Chieftan progressing ?

Not touched it today, but have been looking at pictures of 'operation lionheart' which was a huge exercise in the 80's which had given me some paint ideas.

My camo netting is due tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out how to do rubber mud flaps for the front that you see in pictures.

I'm into scratch build territory again🤣

Got out to the workshop for a half hour.

Changed needles in the airbrush to the biggest one and got paint on to the upper hull and another coat to the turret.





Also found that hatch handle

This build will be the death of me

Things I learned Put the tracks on before the top half of the Hull!
Check which way the side armour goes before you glue it on

Having a bit of fun swapping the crews arms round. Need to paint them up and get some cammo on the netting I ordered has failed to arrive yet

I can't believe that we've got Crafts, Gardening, Computer Games, but not model cars, trains...!

Just don't call them toys!

My particular hobby was 1/10th scale radio controlled car racing. I'm now looking to get into radio controlled planes. We have some Airfix model builders in here and Lego builders too. Any type of model vehicles really! Planes, trains, automobiles... boats, helicopters, anything! Come join in! :-) G
