WAT FUER'N OSCHI...!!!
So the build have started....
With buildgroup1 the hull. I did of course get the laserparts for this model and it seems like the partsfit is very good here. Havent been able to find english instructions for this model...so I make it in a slow pace with a lot of research....but there seems to be very few builds out there of this model.
Ok..enough said, on to the build. A lot of frames here, and I did some custom stiffeners to assure a 90degree angle between the formers.

We do have 36 Leopard2-A4 in our defence system Klaus, so it isnt that unusual

Hello! happy new year to all of you
Drivers cabin is done..a lot of work for almost nothing since the inside will nearly be visible through the drivers hatch..
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw20sm.jpg] [Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw21sm.jpg]
Plenty of details inside the cabin
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw22sm.jpg] [Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw23sm.jpg]
Continued skinning the beast...
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw24sm.jpg] [Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw25sm.jpg]
The fit of the skin is not the best I have seen...but its good enough with some help with trimming and paint..
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw26sm.jpg] [Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw27sm.jpg]
The front part. A lot of parts and details on this side of the tank...Also started to build up the underside of the hull. The shafts and other parts.

Hi Johnny,
good progress on your Twardy. It is a pitty that the nice details of the driver's cabin are nearly vanished but you and we know that they are still there.
Regards
Gerd

Thanks a lot Gerd! Yes its a pity, but as you say...we know its there Used about a week to do the interior...but its a hobby, and time flies anyway It will be the same for the turret...but thats a bit head on in time
Hi Jonny,
beautiful Progress on Your Twardy...
don't worry...the builder knows what is inside there and that's the reason for building reports...
Best wishes
Volkmar

Wheels...
Had to try to make one of the roadwheels. Oh my...what a timeconsuming job it was on this model. Used about 4 hours to make half a wheel
It contains a lot of parts as you can see of the drawing.
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw35sm.jpg]
Its a lot of nice details. Also did some weathering...or accident if you like
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw36sm.jpg]
This kit is really a massive one, and will take some time to finish
But as I see it..the pleasure with this hobby is so great that the time does not count.
So lets continue with the wheels..
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw37sm.jpg] [Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw38sm.jpg]
Im not used to this type of drawings so I use a bit of time to study parts and drawings...And have not found any buildreports of this kit that are much helpful..so I struggle on
[Blockierte Grafik: http://papirmodeller.com/workshop/twardy/tw39sm.jpg]
More next week
The testbuild of the wheel is finished...Each wheel contains 54 parts...will do a more pictured build of the wheels later
But all in all I think it came out fairly good
