Like the look of the Cent above. Very nice.

Here are a few progress pics of the M36...









Next up: a few filters and washes for the interior and detail painting.

Cheers

Valentine hull is ready for priming and paint.



Turret should not be too much further behind.

Thinking I might try replacing the rubber band tracks with the indy link tracks from a Dragon Valentine I have had sitting partially built for over 10 years. Then the rest of that tank can go in the bin.

Looking good, Tom. Did the model come with the workable 8-wheel steering or did you have to fiddle with it?

It is not workable, but you can pose it as you see fit and then glue it in place.

Tom, great work on your 8rad. The wood tool handles and antennae supports are particularly nice.

Great builds, Linus, I never realized that the Centurion's barrel is so long. The tank came out very well.

AFV: IJN I-58

Hello everyone, I am proud to present the finished Type B IJN I-58.

Sunny morning, warm breeze through the palms, calm water as she rounds the point heading north east where she will find the ultimate prize, the USS Indianapolis heading at full speed for home.







I had a great time and this build was very therapeutic for me as I have a tendency (as many of us do) to bite off more than I can chew in this hobby. Its great to finish one up.

Thanks for having me and letting me represent the wetter side of AFV,
Bryan

Turret is mostly together, just needs the coax machine gun and the lid glued on.







There's a bit of an interior for the turret, but I would have preferred a full interior for this fellow as you can see quite a bit through the large hatches with them open.

Primed the hull and suspension, and while waiting for it to dry finished off the turret.
After much swearing the coax was finally installed. Fortunately there were 2 supplied as the first was sacrificed to the God of "I know it will fit damn it".



The lid was properly installed and a couple of small brass pieces attached(or reattached, as the case may be).



Now all ready for priming.

A bit more work done here. Not much left now.
Installed the periscopes.
