Very nice Scottie. A little piece of magic. Great stuff mate

Thanks Steve, Not easy when you have sausages for fingers

Both the .50 and .30 look excellent even with the misplacement.
I can still see the odd bit of plastic though.
Jon.

I did try and hide all the plastic, honest.

Hi Scottie
Fiddly, fiddly - much patience but boy do they look good

Jim, Thanks mate the biggest problem was the bits sticking to the fingers due to be so warm.

Neo,

Thanks mate I have used etch quite a bit in the past but the amount on this build was more and harder than I have done before with whole PE assemblies.

Hi Marty,

No worries mate you are more than welcome. Will hopefully have some paint on soon. I'm sure I can get you a brew if John hasn't drunk it all.

Hi Pete,
Glad your in for the ride. I am pretty much ready for the primer now but due to the weather I am waiting a while. Now sitting down trying to come up with an idea for a base.

Scottie you should try brush painting a whole tank in this weather it's a absolute nightmare.

Hello all,

After a severe lack of mojo and busy doing other things, I finally got around to doing a bit more on the build. The kit was primed with mr surficer 1500 and then pre shaded with VJ matt black. I wont bore you with the pictures.

While waiting for the paint to dry I have made a start on the base. I hope to show a small village shop with the vehicle parked outside. I will have a look on line for figures. Toying with the idea of a few GI's talking to some locals.

Hi Scottie, the amount of etch and construction can wear you out so much that painting seems like another chore. Send the pictures Bro, I like pictures. I do like how the building is starting to look as it's not the usual flat fascade.

Cheers,
Richard

More pictures Scottie, and loving the idea for the base, a bit of bartering going on with the locals.

Scottie have you got the hint yet, MORE PICTURES.

 

[Armorguy]

[Steve Jones]

House is looking great. Big fan of your construction skills. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses
