gun crew have bad day

[Guest]

Well here we go on another build I am going to try another technique that I have never used on this one. I am going to have the 88 being retrieved from a river after it has rolled over while entering to cross. Or at least I am going to try anyway. I am still waiting for one of the key components to turn up but will get on with what I can. So far I have cut the board and put an edging around it to give a little height to the ground (pictures to follow later).

Sounds really interesting

Lookin forward to this, added to watch list

I assume there will be carnage in the form of plastic figures and a craft knife through the waist?

[Guest]

Count me in for this one Terry

Yesterday I undercoated most of the 88 parts on the sprues to give me an idea about any problematic areas. I think there is going to be a lot of rubbing down to be done. I also got the D7 on opening the box it looks pretty straight forward that is until yo try to prime it. GOD it is an awful colour to prime you will see what I mean in the pictures.[ATTACH]92755.IPB[/ATTACH]

Sorry Terry, I somehow missed this....

What a cracking idea, something away from the norm.

It'll make a great diorama.

I have the 1/35 Tamiya 88mm and have just looked in the box....I didn't realise there were so many pieces in the kit!
