Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Well, I was so taken by the last tracked vehicle that had to start new one immediately. And after few relatively short sessions I have arrived at this stage of ... amx-13/75 - the heavy tank for light people .
I will be putting sag on tracks after I mounting them (painted already). Plan is to make a French machine from Operation Musketeer. Track assembly took 95% of time so far, the only mundane part of any modern vehicle build.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Nice one, Marek, the AMX is a cool looking tank. In some ways the vehicle makes me think of a British Scorpion light tank but with a much bigger cannon. Looks like a good kit with nice surface detail and tracks, although the latter may have been hard work they certainly look the part IMHO.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
That looks a very nice kit indeed, and seems to have gone together well!
Best wishes

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
It is going quite well. Not overly complicated and a good 'first' for somebody who, like me, had never tackled individual styrene linx in that scale before. I have done Fruils on the Scorpion but not plastic ones. Even though, the French doctrine used them a bit different than Scorpions, I think they are close cousins on the battlefield.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Good to see you building again!
I just got that same AMX. What an ugly troll of a vehicle! I love it!

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Really nice work on the Chieftain. The netting on the gun looks great to me.
The AMX looks like a nice model as well. It is quite a small vehicle. I would not have thought it was so small except for the bottle of glue beside it.

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Oh man! I'm sorry I missed the Chieftain on your previous page. That looks great!
Why do you keep building the same tanks that I buy? :D

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Rafal, it seems I became a modelling troll . But seriously, I think we have common bucket of air and land vehicles of interest. Sometimes it feels like I am doomed (:)) to follow you in a build of particular plane or tank at some point. We buy at different times, build at different times but our sets have large common subsets .Softscience wrote:

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
I always thought this was a very handsome light tank myself. I'm keen to see how this one turns out.

Re: Marek's even bigger black hole
Back in August last year I have started the Danish Lynx Mk.90, I got slightly disenchanted with it. It comes together ok but is nowhere near to be lynxy on any metrics. But I have finished it last week and I guess Danish Navy will not sue me; it looks like a Lynx from some safe distance.
The rest of pics are in aircraft gallery.
Thanks for watching!
