Great stuff. How the time flies though, I wouldn't have said it was the early/mid '90's when these Emhar WW1 tanks came out - it doesn't seem anywhere near that long ago!

The Cult - what a band, what riffs. Sanctuary is one of their greatest songs IMHO - "those heads that turn..make my back..make my back burn..." etc. Billy Duffy's Gretsch White Falcon, man alive that takes me back...

I was slightly surprised by the date of the molds also Shaun as I thought that these were released later.
Oh yes the Cult, great band and still high up on my playlist although there was a bit of a media scare at that time with them being all devil worshipers and all....yeah right.

Anyway back to the model and where did that hour go?

Eighteen parts to these turrets not complicated but had to wait for the joins etc to dry so that I could still have them moving.

Image

I also sprayed black primer over the rest of the parts to save a little time later.

Image

Ok another favorite band of mine which some of you may have heard of before....

Thanks guys.

I have managed to get the sponsons finished, I drilled out the machine guns and also glued together the back box.

Some good modelling and cool 80's goth rock bands (except the Waterboys, who aren't a goth band at all!). Can't go wrong on this build thread :grin:

Thanks Shaun.

One half finished.

Here is the Airfix 1/76 next to it for scale.

I have a very eclectic taste in music Shaun, more so from the nighties onwards.

Here try the B-52's for size.
