I am sorry for that "accident". But you are a very optimistic person.

You are doing a great job with this build and I am learning useful things for my own builds. Thank you.

I second that!

By the way... what weight of cardstock do you prefer on a model such as this?

I printed this model on 67# vellum bristol cover - the thickness of this paper is .009"

Heav, are you going to submit pictures of the final build to Naka? I'm sure he would like them from looking at the other build pictures up on his site. Kudos on the track build that survives so far.

BTW. Nice build. I want to make the ICM T34 but add some soviet graffiti on it or perhaps a white wash for winter time.

HeavyKevie, I showed my dog-loving wife, Cathy, your posting about Cooper's shinannigans and Cathy fell completely in love (with the dog, not me...) She has an animal bent-
My Wife's First Time
So if you are in the mind to get rid of him, please let me know...

If Cooper came into our home I'm sure I could get a lot more card modeling done...Cat would have something besides me to pay attention to...

She told me to tell you that you need Caesar Milan and scooters. I'll leave it to you to Google that out

By the way- nice work on the model!
Cheers,
Bruce

Your work is exemplary. True craftsmanship in paper modeling and your photo coverage is very helpful for those of us that hope to someday be in the same league! Many thanks for sharing this build.

I'm still working on the tracks but progress is slow... I'm about 60% finished with them...I just had to shift gears a little and work on some other small parts before I totally go nuts!

I built part of the exhaust, the tool box, tow hooks and the jack...

That's it for now...

Kev:
This is excellent work! Please keep it up!!

It would be hard to get too angry with a dog that cute.

This is a wonderful build, I've really enjoyed following along so far.

col. kurtz · 05-07-2008, 02:27 PM

this is a excellent build so far by the way my phaser is on stun if you need it

logicman · 05-07-2008, 04:18 PM

Such craftsmanship!

Such a nice dog!

lriera · 05-08-2008, 02:54 PM

Excelent build. Thank you for the tutorial on building the top and bottom of the exhaust.

kenlwest · 05-18-2008, 07:31 PM

WOW!

This is amazing work. The detail on the wheels and sprockets are unbelievable. And the tracks....

Can't wait to see this insanity end with the final model. Should be way cool.

HeavyKevie · 05-29-2008, 11:21 PM

It's been a while....but THE TRACKS ARE FINALLY DONE! and everything is beginning to come together. I still have a lot to do if I'm going to have everything finished up by the June 30 deadline but I'll give it my best shot.

Tracks are finally done. I just have to add the grouser bars once I get them mounted to the tub.

Road wheels, return rollers and bumper-stops installed.

Idler rollersinstalled...

Drive gears and tracks installed...

Bottom view. Had a bit of trouble with the transmission housings... They were not thick enough to center the track over the road wheels so I had to laminate them to 2mm of card stock to bring them out a little from the side of the hull.

Here are a couple of close up pics....

Just have to add the grouser bars to finish the tracks I waited till last to glue them on so the track would be more flexible. I used the sticky edge of a post it note to hold them while I paint the edges.

Thats it for now.

Keep at it, Kev!
