M4A4 Sherman VC Firefly, Halinski 1:25

As with all of the parts that you have made for this project, they look as if they were machined.

 

[mijob]

yes indeed I was verry contused. Have to say I couldn't see that you made a mistake.
It looks verry heavy. Keep on going

Remember me?

Continued to assembled bogies
Connected all the parts and closed with front panel

Now it was time to put a skin on the frame. It is one big part that overlaps
from all sides

 

[Awry_Chaos]

Yes, we remember you! You're the guy who has figured out how to shrink a real tank down and pass it off as a paper model!

EXCELLENT WORK!!!

 

[Boris]

Hello hello and welcome back. I like how you said it's a big part about something that is smaller than a peanut, a pealed one.
Great work!

 

[mijob]

WOW!!! :jawdrop:

 

[zathros]

Those bogie wheel carriers are fantastic!

 

[snake7]

Thanks pals.
Updated with missing picture of skin parts

 

[snake7]

Work in progress

 

[Boris]

Whhaaatt??? Cool!

 

[snake7]

Hi everybody
Progress was a little slow last month...

Next step in bogie assembly was track support roller with bracket and track skid.

Started with rollers

Continued with roller mounts

Attached them to rollers

Then support bracket

And parts are ready

Bent six track skids. There is a drawing for correct shape

And every part glued to its place on bogie

Final step in bogie assembly is road wheels.
A lot of repeated parts. I will disappear again for a while

 

[Boris]

What can be said.... Awesome

 

[Awry_Chaos]

Awesome is the word!

[mijob]

Dont have any words for it. This is indeed AWESOME

I can barely manage to mangle together a plastic tank, and here you are "killin" it in paper.

 

[snake7]

Thanks guys

Micro update.
Took a lot of time to cut all the parts and touch the edges with paint.
Finally i started to use circular cuter from OLFA that i had for years
Helped a lot cutting wheel parts.

Now Ford conveyer again.
First step is in process

 

[zathros]

I'm going to start going in circles with comments of disbelief, incredible, etc., as every picture you posts looks like a manufactured real part!

 

[Awry_Chaos]

Yes, just what @zathros said

Awesome work!

That's because you're a Navy guy! I bet you if we had you build a paper model, of say, the USS Midway you'd end up ''killin'' it in paper.
