Started, this project two days ago during an scale model exhibition. Very nice kit so far.
My goal is to get this entire project finished until the end of November. Let's see how this challenge will turn out. I will keep you posted

Welcome Paul, good to have you around.
I will add some actual pictures later.

Welcome aboard mates. I added some more pictures. This it's the project's actual state. The bigger parts of the hull and the boogies are assembled. Next steps will complete the hull before I start with the turret and complete the tracks

Following! What's that interesting little work station?

Moritz Fentzahn
Hey Nathan, welcome mate. It's a new jig from Asunarow model. They are new on the market, but great stuff. I will contribute soon

Looks handy. You can pick it up without touching the kit!

Hey mates,
the main assembly is done, I am waiting for some aftermarket tow cables to complete the building process. Meanwhile I try to assemble Voyagers M2 Browning, looking really mean.
The tracks were hell - 912 parts and 1824 points to clean, took me more than 8 hours in total.

For the paint job I will try to follow Ammo's Solution Book. Sounds like a good idea to start with a coat of primer😉
More progress in the next days

I´m in Moritz. Nice progress so far and my deepest respect for that track assembly 🙂

Jim, Sascha welcome aboard mates.
After the track-nightmare, the assembly of the Browning Gun was like a walk in the park, took 4 hours but was fun

M2 looks great. 👍

I had this kit in my hands at SMC. I went for the M31 instead

Moritz Fentzahn
Ingo, James, Martin - welcome mates
@Martin you should go for the M4A3E8 too😉, a very nice and well designed kit. Building was pure fun (except the tracks, that was semi-fun)

Saturday is ESM, I'll have to bring an extra bottle of restraint with me 😄
19 November 2019, 07:38
Moritz Fentzahn
Can you recommend a special bottle????? Do they offer bigger containers too. A bit more restraint would suit me well, wouldn't it?
19 November 2019, 18:08
Martin Oostrom
Take a crate of this stuff in the early morning. No modelling stuff bought all day, guaranteed! duvel.com/en-gb/the-beer

Martin Oostrom
Three guesses what happened today at ESM?
23 November 2019, 17:19
Moritz Fentzahn
Congratulations Martin, a good choice 👍😉
But what about the bottled restraint?🙂
23 November 2019, 20:47
Martin Oostrom
The bottled restraint was used last night at home, celebrating my xx-th birthday 😄
Which is on the 24th

A little update before I finally start to paint the single elements.
I built up a little base from styrofoam and clay. In one corner I added a little destroyed shed which is scratchbuild from balsa-wood.
Hope you like it so far

Hallo Moritz, very nice so far, I take a seat. Cheers Stefan

Welcome Stefan, good to have you around.

The tank is primed and I added some color and vegetation to the base. Next I will add some details to the base and give the tank his colorcoat.

Looking good so far
