ChristopherC Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I finally finished this one! Started it way back during the Trash Haulers group build. You can see buildup details here. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) I also tired to add as much interior detail as possible. Here are some shots I took before closing up the fuselage. Any comments are welcome! Chris Edited November 2, 2009 by ChristopherC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherC Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 So Chirs, what colours for the Abrams, the delivery sand colour or the new 3 tone that will be adorning the fleet over time? Camouflaged of course! That's what makes ours unique. Don't suppose you have any pictures? I stumbled across some a little while ago but I haven't been able to find them since.

I might be able to find a couple of pictures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingLow Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I was following your build in WIP already, it turned out very nice. Some armor in the belly will be awesome! Just one tiny piece criticism if I may, it seems that wheels are not sitting flat on the ground... or the base is not perfectly straight?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 I was following your build in WIP already, it turned out very nice.Some armor in the belly will be awesome! Just one tiny piece criticism if I may, it seems that wheels are not sitting flat on the ground... or the base is not perfectly straight?? Thanks Flyinglow. Yeah, the main gear are a little wonky. Turns out when I glued the gear struts to the bays they were too high up in the fuselage. As a result the wheels interfered with the gear doors. By the time I realised this all the painting had been done so the best I could manage was to try and bend the struts a little and glue the wheels on at an angle. You only really notice it when you place your eye at ground level directly in front or behind the model. This aspect probably kept the kit half finished on my desk for about 3 months.

Andrew Doppel Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Nice work Chris. Good to see it finally finished. The internal detailing you did came up a treat. If your interested Ryan Hamilton on AMi has engine covers and pallets for sale in 'Market Place'. regards Andrew :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
