Thanks Andy, just finished smudging some colour on the mud, I'll shade it tomorrow to give it some depth... might sort the wheels out too?!Coming along at a pace buddy
.... certainly an interesting blog to follow.

Thanks for that Lee ,I'll have a look out for it on the web .John, this is the paste I'm using, thankfully it dries quite quickly, I've used it once before on the base for my 1 87 Panther.

Thanks John, still a fair bit to do, the trailer, the soldiers, the accessories, I'm now thinking about a small dio, ... my head hurts!Looking really good Lee .
Definitely needs one, asking for it really Lee.Thanks John, still a fair bit to do, the trailer, the soldiers, the accessories, I'm now thinking about a small dio, ... my head hurts!
Yeah I reckon, nothing to fancy!Definitely needs one, asking for it really Lee.
Looking forward to it !
Andy, the cargo deck clips in, I was all prepared to glue it down... not this time!Yep, looking very nice indeed there,and a cool little addition with the moveable cargo too
A Cramped little beastie for sure!!
....as for a Dio?.... well,it's just gotta be done
It is small Neil, here's a comparison between 1 35 UE tracks to 1 87 Panther tracks...Looking good Lee.
It is tiny, isn't it?
Yeah and they're pretty dirty too! You need to get something in that cup to ease your headache. Nice progress on the Tractor.With a small amount of time at the bench when I can grab it over the weekend, I've managed to get more done than expect, trailer, tracks, pasting, painting, weathering and a novelty cup!

The tracks on this thing gave me a bloody headache!
Thanks Rick, the tracks wouldn't sit right and there was gaps, I know... mud, plenty of mud, that'll sort it!Yeah and they're pretty dirty too! You need to get something in that cup to ease your headache. Nice progress on the Tractor.
Hi Jim and welcome, it was annoying that there wasn't a very basic interior in the kit otherwise it would of been opened and the figures would more open.Just caught up with this Lee. Tiny little vehicle. Figures look good although it seems only the heads will be seen. That paste is effective as mud.
Thanks Andy, I'll give that a go on the trailer... never give it a thought!That is a tiny little thing. I wouldn't fancy being squashed into that!
Have you experimented with mixing paint into that paste for a one-shot effect? I use W&N structure gel which seems similar, if a bit less thick, but it works great with paint, pigments, even texture like fine sand & static grass added. Might be worth a try.
