SPA Modeler

Thanks fellas. I've been working on the chassis for the last few days. Hopefully I'll get some photos up pretty quick.

Well hell no you aint too late Bruce. BTW....I sent you a PM a few weeks back. Just checkin' in.

I've been working on the chassis pretty much all week and I've gotta say that I am thoroughly impressed at all the detail in 1/35 scale. I managed to get all the rear suspension and exhaust work done (except for the tail pipe that I'll install later on to keep from snapping it off). I've also got the weathering done in the way of chipping and dirt effects. I tried as hard as I could to achieve the right balance but then again I'm no expert in the military vehicle field as far as WWII is concerned.

Managed to finish the base chassis off this morning. Still gotta install the wheel/ tires but that'll come after I get through with the engine and interior. Might even come after I get through installing the body onto the chassis so I can play around with ride height and stance a little bit.



Speaking of engine....that's next up. At ten pieces in 1/35 scale it provides an excellent platform for adding some extra details.

Looking good!

Thanks Clint. I appreciate you stoppin' in.

Nice work Joe.

Looking good, Joe!!

Thanks Martin and Tom! I started cleaning up the engine parts this morning. Lots of seam lines.....

Looking quite nice!
