    Hello friends, Last step in the wheel series ;) Supporting rollers. Nothing special here, and as a result — no issues :cool: That’s it for all the wheels! Next step: assembling the links into tracks, finishing the details, and painting. I can finally see the light at the end of the...

    Thanks guys! And I continue with the tension wheel Well, the usual issues: total neglect of the value of π when calculating diameters, lack of clear instructions, and the instructions that do exist containing some strange errors. So the brain workout continues — trying to figure out what...

    Hello all! After more than two months, the road wheels are finally finished. It wasn’t easy to assemble them due to the usual issues with drawings and incorrect diameters. A lot of adjusting… and a lot of repeating steps. So, 36 wheels total, combined into 18 pairs: 8 pairs on one side, 8 on...

    Assembled driving sprocket. No problems with the build so far - just had to figure out where the inner sprocket goes. It lines up with the marks on the support triangles, but I also checked the alignment with short strip o tracks I built earlier. Really like the design here — the trucks...

    Thanks everyone for the positive comments! When it comes to tracks and suspension, my speed always slows down. The repetitive assembling is something I really struggle with — kind of ironic, since I enjoy building tanks. ;) Here you can see all the parts for the wheels, mounts, supporting...

    I'm hopping on the train with others. This is going to be a great build! It's my honor that you mentioned me as some inspiration:cool: You are doing a great job adding all this details to the assembly! I have this model in my stash, so will build it in the future and definitely will use your...

    Hi everyone, All this time, I've been working on the tracks. I'm using a laser-cut track kit from Anamera. I ordered it many years ago in advance, but unfortunately, his site is now down, and I’m not sure if he’s still producing these kits. I always liked his kits—they were detailed...

    Well, another major stage is complete – the hull is ready, and the final touch was adding the engine compartment hatch doors. When I tried to dry-fit them onto the hull, I ran into a significant issue with the right door, which has the cooling system attached. It interfered with the...

    Finished assembling the full set of tools: Jack, shovels, axes, extinguisher, etc. Also installed the front towing hooks, main headlights, rear light, and antenna base. There were no markings on the fenders showing where to mount everything, and—as usual—the drawings either lacked any...

    Thanks Micah. It's hybrid - 3d printed on special paper that has Zimmerit like texture. I showed it in the beginning of the thread. Every detail that is Zimmerit printed double on regular pages in the book and on special page (you can see it in first post). You can choose what to use :)

    Got to assemble the fenders/mudguards. Odd decisions with gluing marks and paint—and, of course, this one big part must be painted by the assembler on the inner side. Probably due to a lack of space in the book or because it would be too thick if made as two separate parts. Nevertheless, I...

    Hi everyone, I had to pause the assembly for a while due to some family matters, but now I’m back. I left off at finishing the rear wall, which includes the main muffler, the auxiliary motor muffler, and some other small details. Aside from the usual errors with strip lengths, there’s a...

    I the meantime I continued to equip outer hull. Front transmission hatch doors. Was in need to do some adjustments to fit those. This Zimmerit-like paper really adds to the effect! In addition, assembled air pre-cleaning system. Tube templates were useless, so I made my own on the site...
