Yes,I am going to have fun. (++) (++) (++) (++) (++)

good news,
keep us posted with regular pics please mate. enjoy (++)

I have been mulling the idea of starting a topic,wherein I change the photo in the lead post as I build this. Hmmm,time to ponder. (++) (++)

Even better ........ keep adding on the same post, so we can see the build up as it happens! This is the most exciting thing since ......... er... the last big exciting thing!!

Might I ask price TankCarl?
Why cause want to make sure my hobby guy is not going to make a killing on me (++) (++)

I got it at a LHS,I will Pm you with the details

Tankcarl,
Since your one of the first to get this beast, why not make a featur of it, the highs and lows etc. Im sure just about everybody on this site would be interested. I know i am!

Ok,Martin and others.
In Rivet review,I will open a topic.It will be Leopold as done by TankCarl
I will build a little,take a picture,and link the picture to show up on the topic.
Others can review and offer CC,but it will be a stream of conciousness build,watch as it happens.
I will add comments as the build goes along,pointing out pitfalls and solutions to assembly problems as they rear their heads.

IT WILL BE OOB,so ordinary thinnning of things will occur,but I will refrain from making a serious delving into aftermarket stuff.(except if Jordi comes out with a barrel in time! (HA)

TanK:
You ok convinced me, I started this kit in teh we morning hours Saturday.... Looks like one of my wheel housing tops is warped. Using some clamps to level it out.
Working on a JS-3 too just so the K5 doesn't get overwhelming or too boring. There are a TON of parts....

PC,dont cha just love that BIG 1 piece casting?
Mind the fiddly bits at the begining of the assembly for the coupling for train use.I FTCG ;ast night,and may have to use a piece of wire to replace a missing U shaped part.
Darn the CARPET GOD!
