Here they are built ( Without skids )

Here they all are.

Craig

Well i have sort of taken a plunge of some sort  I have made a decision to try and scratch a little bit of detail  not something i ever really try but i have seen a few guys doing round here so well why not LOL!

Well here it was!!

And now! not the best  but still needs a little work.

Craig

Now i move onto the transmission. Here are the component parts.

And here we are the first stages. There is still plenty of detail to add here and some extra clean up as well ( noticed on the pics )

Cheers Karol much appreciated.

I know mate, he is a good free-kick taker but he will not get much chance to take one if Ronnie is about

Hey Craig, I don't think there's anything wrong with your scratchbuilding skills. My opinion is, the kit pieces are often way too perfect and uniform. Look at the first pic of what the kit piece was. Have you ever seen a human installed anything that looked that perfect? Especially on a tank? Your scratchbuilding just added personality to this TD.     Bravo for taking the plunge. it looks great!!!!
