Looking good. I have this kit in the stash but find it a little intimidating at the moment. Will be watching with great interest!
Oh wow, she’s gonna be a monster!!!
Wow that’s a big one. Does it come with the rail/track/bed? Pic could be from 1984 with all the small testors paints and the orange testors tube glue. Dig your glue holder BTW [:P]
I agree, it’s intimidating when you open the box and look at the instruction book. Thair are more parts in “one” rail car-truck, then in the gun barrole and chasie combined. That’s why I did the gun barrole-first. The chasie secound, and -then-whent back to the first page of instructions, and started the rail bed. I lined the barrole with one section of aluminum tubeing, sleaved in evergreen tubeing, from muzel to breach. Then led waights to the breach to compensate for the waight of the barrol—did’nt quite ballance, but the sholder pivets are tight enuf to make up the difference.
Yes-keavdog. It comes with two chosiss. Straight-like I’m using " for lack of display space", or an L track layout- for diarama.
Gotta watch this. I built Annie a few years back when it came back in stock.
Oh nice!!! Great to see her together and ready for paint.
Wow! What a monster!
Hi;
Some Smart Alec brought one in 1/87 to run our layout in the museum. Got to the first curve and said “Uh"Uh”. That was Annie! So your monster is all the more intimidating because of the size difference. Nice job so far.
I got what one observer said about your glue holder. Hey when I “R.V.d” That’s what I did. I used a table that folded. The crease also makes a good brush holder if the handles are fat enough!
Thanks Tank-Builder, did you understand my explanation of what I did ton the gun barrole ?
That looks fantastic - I’m watching with interest, as I have the 1/72 Hobby Boss kit in the stash (and that’s big enough for me!).
