The ICM kit started thoughts about this project...

I forgot to make pictures from the very start, so this is about 8 hours from the start.

Conical shape of the cannon barrel solved - two aluminium tubes 3-4mm dia. super-glued together and then "hand-turned" using Proxxon and some files and knives...

About 18 hours? Rivets made by punch-die tool, but I will have to tune their heads to be "rouded"...

Yesterday, I tried to tune the rivet heads using "kornovák" (a goldsmith tool). I think that is the way it will work!

Interesting 🙂 I guess you might consider buying the tracks separately.

I'm trying to buy some surplus tracks on models exchange, otherwise I will scratch one piece and make some copies... The original Takom is quite expensive for my purpose - more than 3/4 of it would go to sparebox :-[

Oh, are you not making an entire tank?

No, just a front part of the right side, it will be just a vignette focused mainly on the figures 🙂

Nice figures. I have them also in the bench. If your in need for parts of the tracks I habe a very few from the Tamiya kit. You could make a copy.

Intriguing way to model that barrel and those rivets. Creative! 👍

Hello, thanks to one modeller from our contry, I have now three track links to clone them 🙂

Actually, the scratching seems to be complete and I am waiting for cloned track links (I had to scratch them too, due to a mistake with upscaling the scratch)... During this time, I will start the work on the ICM figures.
