And so, after a year, this T-84BM model is finished. What I liked: it is a good design of a rare model. Although some things were simplified, it was done very correctly. It is a good pretty simple model. What I did not like: side skirts are weakly designed, they tend to fold in. The hull...

Hello all. So, the tracks. Usually, it's a nightmare for a builder, but not for this model. Some double layer strips , some side walls, some gluing tabs that I prepared and that's it. Nothing too difficult here,

Well, since the sides of the hull are not reinforced, the bogies do wiggle. But the wheels will be placed into quite stiff tracks structure, hopefully this complex will be sturdy enough

Hello all. One more step - suspension of the bogies. Or a simulation of it. Very simplified. I guess it's OK for this scale

Thanks guys

Hello all. After a break, I continued, pretty slowly, with wheels. The designer provided two options for wheels and tracks: one very simple, box-like with printed wheels and tracks, the other version with separate driving sprockets, bogies, front tensioner wheels and tracks made from strips with...

Such a clean work!

Looks great, Snake.

Thank you all. This machine gun does add a lot.

Hello all The turret is done. Finished the NSVT 12.7mm machine gun with mount and the main gun. It is quite a challenge to roll such long and such small diameter tubes. Remade at least three times .. Then, the turret swivel ring which gets inserted into hull. Had to decrease the ring's height...

Hello all A small update. I finished a turret bustle rack. Had to be very careful, these are 1mm wide double layer pieces of paper. A sharp knife with comfortable handle is a real must. I have to add, it took me a lot of time to connect all the parts, because of the size of the parts. I also...

Thank you, I had some things do, now I am back

Hi all. I am back. Advancing with the turret. Had a big problem understanding how to make the smoke mortars covers and combine them with the turret. Took me at least three attempts. Had to be very careful with many edge gluing Also, I made three ammo boxes for NSVT 12.7 mm turret-mounted...

Well, Snake, your build is a real perfection

Thanks!

Now, the turret build begins Again, had some gluing tabs missing. Need to install the internal reinforcement and then make a closed box around. That was quite intricate, but I managed to make it. Next are the commander and gunner hatches and reinforcements for top reactive armor plate. Will be...

Next, the front lights, driver's periscopes and driver's hatch. Well, the hatch side contains very thin part, less than 1 mm. It is almost impossible to make and install it correctly. This marks the end of the hull

Hello all. A big update this time, so I am going to split messages by theme. First, made and mounted the self-digging in shovel. No issue here whatsoever except that need to be careful with the small triangular mounts.

Looks great

Thank you all!
