Hi all
Its been almost almost 2 years since I bashed any plastic ... life got in the way ...
I've been want to sit for some time and build ... and have been a little concerned my eye and finger skill would .. not be up to my usual standards .... so far I'm..Happy with what I've done but will return to areas I'm not yet happy with ... like most of us a build is never really completed ...just in progress ....?
Challenger 3 .. well some one had to try and build ...

All those angled facets there, its shaping up to be a 'Stealth' Tank !!

BRAVO! It is certainly good that you are able to get back to the fun. From what I can tell, you are having no problem with skills. I will watch to learn, even if I can never hope to accomplish so much.

Hi all
Just a very quick update .. so,will,let the pics say it all

Shove a bit of a delta swept wing on it & call it a 117 !!
Huge amount of angles and corresponding work Mr McEvoyi
Is it going to have all 26 letters of the alphabet in some order for the variation it is, or is it to early for a Chally 3 to need a universe of mods ?

Hi all..
A little bit more done today the beginning of the gun mantle
Not 100% sure of the actually shape above the new gun cover as I cannot find any pics at all ... but im enjoying the time pottering in plastic

Hi all
Another update for my slow challenger 3 build ..
Originally I planned to use a barrel form the hl leopard 2 but realized how undersized it is compaird to the tamiya leopard barrel ..
Slowly I'm beginning to fit out the turret with new gun sights .. site rear mount .. and scribing and cutting the new pannel lines ..
I mad a mistake with the possision of the smoke granade launchers being to high and to far apart .. thus the filler ..uggggg I so hate to use filler ..
Any way let the pics do the talking
