T-14 Armata

basic hull construction, almost ready for paint 

basic hull construction, almost ready for paint 

Bar armor attachment points... some pieces to add, but first I have to solder the bar armor 

Hull basket needs some reinforcement bars: so first some flux where they need to be positioned 

then some solder 

and first rod into place, excess material can easily be removed by scalpel. A plier gives a slanted edge, so that's not good 

and so on 

ready to bend 

also a lot of slat-armor on this one. Tried presoldering on this one, but by heating the material expands, so I cut one side open... 

then the first parts in the jig, the separate one is just for support 

First side-bar in place 

and the second one too. End of the jig 😉 

Next pieces
