MENG 1/35 Terminator BMPT

Starting this one, first foray in to workable suspension/tracks…

most likely plan is for a what if pixel scheme (unsure of colours as yet)

ok so some progress… workable suspension was a pain so thats fixed but the workable tracks are going together nicely…

Ohhhhhhh cool! Nice work!!!

I’ve got the Meng T-90 kit and done some work on her- really need to get her finished. I hope my tracks come out anywhere near as good as yours.

thanks… have to admit doing batches of track rather than sitting down to do 2x 81 in one session will save you… but they do go together really well

That’s good to know Rob. I pulled out the box last night and I hadn’t even started on the tracks yet.

Good work Rob, looks like nice kit. I don’t have any Meng stuff in my stash, but I might have to check them out.

thanks all, so far so good, nice fit, instructions make sense… progress. One side of tracks done (workable tracks went together nicely with only a few casualties) and the running gear done. On to the upper hull now.

Nice work. I’ve been thinking about getting this kit eventually and I’m interested to see how it builds up.

Looks good!

thanks all… both tracks completed - and 81 links/side seems about right. Have moved on to the upper hull and attached it to the lower… nice fit. Still not sure on the paint job this will get but so far so good

More progress, side units mounted, now on to the protective parts on the engine deck

Oh cool, she’s coming along nicely!

more work on the hull… the hatches are a multi-part assembly but build up really nice. Also done the side skirts, think I need to paint the wheels/lower hull/tracks (still think there is 1 too many link as well) soon then add the side skirts before the digital scheme (on this, I have primed up a plastic tub to allow me to trial the colour scheme - think the NATO green is too dark so need to see (plan to fade each colour as I go rather than at the end when all painted)…

Looks great - can’t wait to see the turret!

Looking great Rob.

Coming along nicely.

onto the turret… keeping the weapons system separate from the turret to aid the digital camo. So far so good… building up nicely

Oh that’s cool! Looking forward to seeing how she looks with the missiles mounted.

Without the missiles, he looks like a Female tank from WWI - big armor and treads but only MG’s for armament.

Terminator is coming along nicely.
