That's coming along nicely Graham. I might nick your red oxide interior for my Flakpanzer

Oooo, Nick away Patrick. It adds a nice contrast doesn't it?

looking real nice ,Graham,do like the dark brown over the dark yellow camo,and always like the


look of the German,red/brown primer,


you will be fine with the links,once you get started,and fall into a pattern,it go,in no time,

Cheers Monica. Yep, it is a case of settling into a rhythm and just taking them one at a time. I always hate starting them but once I get going, I quite enjoy it. They are all done now and in sections primed up and ready for painting. Once I have them on the vehicle the weathering starts.


Then I have three figures to paint and the building to assemble and paint for the base. All good fun

[monica]

all sounds like fun,Graham,


I feel the same way to get started is the hard part,once doing it is relaxing to do,


as long as you don't get nagged lol,


will look forward to seeing the rst as you get to it,

It does indeed! Makes a change from just having it cream or Dunkelgelb on the inside.


Plus my Ostwind is a late war vehicle like your Waffentrager, so it's appropriate too - win win!

spent many hours on this over the last two days for, what appears, not a lot. However, I have really moved it on. The tracks are done and fitted after base coating in 'Steel' paint. I will take them off again for final painting but they took ages to get to this stage. Everything has had another couple of coats of Klear ready for weathering and the gun breach is painted up.


The figures are started, don't hold your breath on them being in the final reveal but I do want them there.


The MiniArt building is, er....... built. Just a bit of filler to go on the edges where I was not careful enough in cutting it out. other surface prep to be done then it will be in for primer. so, for an update, it doesn't look much but a lot has gone into it this weekend, Really pleased with it so far.

Great work on the tracks.


Also the building scale doesn't show so much now the wheels and tracks are on.


So all is looking good.

This is looking very promising now Graham, the soldiers look very well painted indeed and those tracks look really good too. I am really liking this and the dio building looks really well built too, as always there's so much going on


Like tour approach to the head issue!!

Looking well sweet. Gonna mud her up?

Not mud as such John. She has just come from the factory to help in the final days of the defence of Berlin. This is the calm before the storm. They have a dozen or so rounds and are listening for the advancing Russian tanks. It's a case of whacking off what rounds they have and then leg it to the rear. If they last that long..,,,, so No, mainly dust and a bit of chipping but it would not have been out long enough for heavy weathering.

Ah, interesting! I'm in the process of dirtying my Tiger up at the moment, and using almost exclusively pigments. Again, the tank won't have been old at the time, so no chipping , just dirt and scuffs with a little bit of streaking!


Great build though, looks like it was a good kit.
