Would be nice to see some comparison shot of tbis beast with some other kits,it must be huge.

Lots of us appreciate your great work with these monsters Donald, I for one enjoy watching them get built as I will never build anything this big, you do a superb job explaining each step with any issues you encounter and how you remedy them, helping out a great many others when they eventually build them up.

[oldwarloke]

You wanted it, you got it.

There’s a huge size difference.

That’s huge. My wife would absolutely explode if I started building models that big. I already take up most of a spare bedroom, building in 1/35.
I know there’s a LOT of people here that appreciate these build threads, whether they post or not. Look at the amount of views this thread has since start: it’s 330 something as I write this.
That’s a lot.

Imagine being this guy’s wife:

These are all 1/6 scale. And these are not all the photos.

[oldwarloke]

Very Impressive especially the Figures, I can’t do Figures very well.
I have about 15 to 20 figures that came with the 1/16th. kits that I don’t know what to do with.

Donald,
Don’t feel lonely! Although this is a solitary hobby, you have a huge audience on Armorama. 408 views so far. Not everybody bothers to like posts and a lot are visitors to the site so they don’t register. Your posts here are very well liked and followed by many. Your builds are fantastic and your craftsmanship is outstanding. Your notes and captions along the way are indespensable to those who get the kit. And for those that don’t get the kit, your builds are just downright interesting. Your build discipline is impeccable and your work - arounds for kit errors are remarkable and useful. Keep building for as long as you can and we will keep watching! We’re here for you!
Best,
Matt

This was going to be my last build, but now I am super inspired, and hearing from you all whether you like my work or think it sucks, helps me go on .

I have been working on the small parts on the rear end.

Man the instructions aren’t very helpful on where some of the parts go.
To be continued tomorrow.
Donald

[oldwarloke]

Today I have the Rear Spare Tracks and Mounts, also the Drivers Hatch.
As usual any info is on the Pics so if you are saving this you have it all.

That’s it for today, Hopefully there will be more tomorrow.
