Free Model Contest # 6 - Fiat Allis 16B, JJM, 1:100
Oops - only 1 more week till this contest ends, and I completly missed it out (I thought it would run until July 31st...). We will see, if I manage to finish my "real" project.
But with a little help from Slowakia, I can still post at least one model - one of my all-time favorites has been published again, the Fiat Allis 16B bulldozer - available here. A little mindwork is required, but with the fotos the riddle can be solved. The model starts with a little bodywork.

Next came the tracks. These are easily done, but a little enhancement is always possible. For a better fit, cut off three elements of the chains.

With the tracks attached, the bodywork continues. First, at the backside two consoles are completed. Afterwards, it´s easy to follow the numbers and attach the different elements around the steering platform. I missed the driver´s seat and had to draw one of my own, but the roof will blend off this little fault.

The roof is quickly done, then it´s time for the earth-shield to be assembeled. The hydraulics is made from small nails, that were cut off. What I like very much is the "used" look. I´m still trying to do it myself...

... and with the safety guard around the steering platform the model is finished. The guard is made from fleenetting, which is a bit rough to be scale, but gives a good impression of what is meant.
That´s it...
