![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/0/1/3/1119013-98863-16-720.jpg)
Actually already fairly far along on this project. One side of the T-Rex tracks done and I'm absolutely in love with them! Shaved off the academy skirts and some details to put on the tetra fender set
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/0/1/4/1119014-98863-57-720.jpg)
Bending these was scary with such a small PE tool. But just a lil bit at a time and I managed to so both sides without issues.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/1/0/4/1119104-98863-83-720.jpg)
Both skirts and fenders finished up. Just need to glue on the right side and start the rears.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/1/0/9/1119109-98863-65-720.jpg)
Fenders and skirts are fully attached. Just need to add the details to the skirts.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/7/1/0/1119710-98863-62-720.jpg)
Lil bin for one side finished up. Green stretched sprue before trimming to add the bolt heads.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/7/1/1/1119711-98863-37-720.jpg)
Added the strap tie downs and bracing on the skirts.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/0/4/5/1120045-98863-25-720.jpg)
Box finished
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/0/4/6/1120046-98863-69-720.jpg)
Saw mostly finished up before mounting.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/0/4/9/1120049-98863-96-720.png)
Both bin/boxes finished and mounted as well as the saw.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/1/1/6/1120116-98863-30-720.jpg)
Most of the details added to the turret. Bolts for the mantlet cover, lifting hooks and etc. Will add the grab handles next
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/3/3/7/1121337-98863-52-720.jpg)
Quite a bit of progress. Ordered some more figures for the diorama idea as well and the open hatches up top. Few more details to go since I've only had a few chances to work on it during the week during my lunch breaks. Hoping I can finish it up and paint this weekend
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/3/9/3/1122393-98863-18-720.jpg)
Managed to finish everything up.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/3/9/2/1122392-98863-92-720.jpg)
Primed black testing out Stynlrez and loving it.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/3/9/4/1122394-98863-45-720.jpg)
More primer
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/3/9/5/1122395-98863-83-720.jpg)
Primed all the wheels. Exhaust and covers seperate as well.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/3/9/6/1122396-98863-25-720.jpg)
Shot a coat of dark tracks for the undercoat over everything. Will be a good basis for some slight chipping fluid work.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/3/9/9/1122399-98863-41-720.jpg)
Chipping fluid over the dark tracks, followed by dark Russian green and some slight modulation with Russian 4bo. Gonna test the chipping on these first before committing on the tank.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/4/0/0/1122400-98863-46-720.jpg)
I think that'll do nicely. Pin washes. More chipping. Mud and all that to come on these. But I'll do up the rest of the tank to match this method.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/4/8/7/1122487-98863-40-720.jpg)
4bo shaded on and chipped. Satin varnished and letting it sit overnight so I can get some rest.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/4/8/8/1122488-98863-39-720.jpg)
Planning on spraying the white markings on the turret and tweaking them with a brush. Keep in mind this color will get toned a lot more as things move forward.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/1/6/4/1123164-98863-36-720.jpg)
Masked and sprayed the white markings
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/1/6/5/1123165-98863-45-720.jpg)
Other side
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/1/6/6/1123166-98863-88-720.jpg)
Hand painted the numbering and added some runs
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/1/6/7/1123167-98863-20-720.jpg)
Other side
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/1/6/8/1123168-98863-61-720.jpg)
Rough idea of figure placement.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/8/2/3/1123823-98863-33-720.jpg)
Oil washes finished up. Here's before cleanup.
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/8/2/2/1123822-98863-15-720.jpg)
After cleanup.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/8/2/1/1123821-98863-94-720.jpg)
Another angle. Loads of work left to do.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/9/7/3/1123973-98863-62-720.jpg)
Reached a good stopping point for tonight.
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/9/7/4/1123974-98863-78-720.jpg)
Still loads more work to do
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/6/2/6/1124626-98863-75-720.jpg)
Finished up the second set of tracks fairly quickly. Love these T-Rex tracks.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/6/2/7/1124627-98863-49-720.jpg)
Letting all this work dry before I add some exposed polished metal.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/6/2/5/1124625-98863-92-720.jpg)
Close up
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/2/0/1/1125201-98863-47-720.jpg)
Tracks are on. So nearing the finish line.

Thank you, Rui! Hopefully finishing it up here soon so I can start up on the Diorama.

Wanted to build up a T-34/85 after grabbing the Academy kit locally for cheap. Ordered some aftermarket goodies and have a 1944/1945 diorama idea.
