Thanks Bob yes there is a lot on this one thread there are a couple of reasons for this.
One I can't be arsed (to lazy) to keep having to open new ones for each element of this dio build. It is easier to have all the elements in one place even if it does look a bit of a mess and is jinking around a lot. There hasn't been much structure to this build from the outset not like previous builds I have done where I knew what I wanted it to look like from the get go. but it will get there.
The second reason is I think if say a tank is for a specific dio then t keeps the site tidier if the build thread is done within the dio thread if that makes sense.

Loving the weathering on the truck Terry looks really good
It has taken me the best part of the day to get the striping over the arches right and I still have a little bit to do. The paint had bled under some of the tape so needs sorting . The grey areas are sorted and just need fading down again. The red over white is going to have another good coat of gloss then be retouched where needed.
Made a start on the weathering of the trailer but think I have gone a bit OTT with streaking grime so will have to remove some or maybe put a filter over it to blend it some. The tilt still needs a bit of work and is only sat loose at the moment. All comments welcome as usual and any advice on using filters etc etc also welcome.
The earth has been applied around the base of he barn and the trailer has had a bit more weathering done on it. The famo has had a gloss coat ready for it's turn on the weathering bench and the truck has a bit more weathering on the bed (pictures of the latter to follow soon). Also because Tamiya do not supply lenses for the trailer light I bought some and added them rather than leave the lights empty.
