You have speeded up, I seem to have slowed down, I'll let you take over for a bit.

Someone's got to take up where Dave leaves off. Are you going for a rest now Dave?

Hi Bob,
Look forward to seeing your build. Can you share the build with pictures, problems, techniques so we can see how it all comes together.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Done a bit over the past few days, lower hull and all wheels made and sprayed. Inner turret and main gun sprayed. It has a date stamped in the hull of 1997, it isn't as refined as todays standard for Tamiya but it's going together very well. just a couple of pictures to see where I'm at.

Hi Bob,
That looks really great so far.
As Andy said, those tracks look great and realistic.
Hopefully when the eyes improve, we will see this finished in all it's Bob C glory!
Cheers,
Bigkev

a long time coming but hear it is completed at last.
Tamiya kit, some Blackdog bits and crew by Hobby Fan.
Painted with Tamiya Ammo Mig and Hataka.
With the drivers hatch closed he was trapped, on later models this was changed, not a good job to have.

Nice little display, I like the cobbles. Whose base?
Title: Re: Cromwell MKIV
Post by: Bob C on July 08, 2020, 06:52:52 PM
I think the base was an old mini art one.

A really excellent model Bob. Were the cobbles scratch built?

Another great AFV Bob, well done.

No the cobbles came from an old mini-art base Chris.
