A close up of the hull section - while hard to see in the photo, the hull is very detailed with rivets hatches and all sorts of extras. It's a remarkably clean cast for such a huge hunk of resin. Assembly started this morning, after washing all the resin parts and leaving them to dry over night. I used an epoxy glue for attaching the sponsons to both the tracks and the hull. Standard hobby "super-glue" was used for everything else.
A picture of the fully assembled model. Assembly took about 2 hours and there was relatively little clean up required for the parts. This kit has a lot of opportunity for customization - I'm thinking of adding a derrick assembly off the back for a armored car of some sort. To provide some scale in the lower right of the picture is a battlefront 15mm scale Sherman tank.
This model will be a lot of fun to paint. Actual painting will need to wait until the start of the Analogue Hobbies painting challenge this year. I have no idea how Curt will score this beastie.

Simply Wow!! What a beast and I look forward to seeing some WIPs for this :-)

(That's the thing I hate about Kickstarter. I somehow manage to miss all the really cool stuff!)

Wow. Now that is a beastie!
Not really my thing.. but just wow! - that's a fantastic looking model. Sort of the T35's distant ancestor. Really looking forward to seeing how this looks under paint. Hoping for a faded (light) blue - with lots of rust streaks and chipping..
That's quite a monstrous kit! Very intimidating.
That's a nice bit of kit!!!
Stunning beast !
Well that's a big one!
I shall look forward to seeing this in the Analogue challenge.
