Tamiya M20

I think the lower interior is pretty much done now. I have painted up the comms and inserted the cable into the radio. Added a magazine and hung a mug on a hook. The only other thing was a packet of lucky strikes. I have added these on other builds as they are fairly easy to paint and are quite recognizable, they were also included in the rations. This time however I made the packet out of foil so it was hollow and added some cigarettes from wire this allowed me to crush it a little.

I have now started on the next stage by filling all the gaps and removing moulded items in readiness for the detailing.



as always thanks for dropping by.

I think you are getting good at this modelling lark Paul:rolling:.
Each time I look at it it gets better and better.

Hi Scottie, leave you for a while and I come back to some great modelling...just like cooking, leave whats in the pot to simmer and the flavours mix and come out nicely. Really lovely work. :thumb2:

It'll be a while before I get back into building. A close modelling buddy just passed away yesterday with a massive heart attack. In Muslim custom he was buried the same day and I attended the funeral at the Mosque and later last night at the cemetary. I apologies if I mentioned this here. Malaysian modelers are shocked...he was only 47.

Hopefully the Toon build will get me going again.

My brand for many years. Bulls eye logo was green from 42 to 45 when changed to red (to attract the ladies) w/L.S.M.F.T. slogan added. Awesome detailing Scottie. PaulE

Paul, Not a label that is seen over here to much but I know the brand from their sponsorship of motor cycling.

A little bit more done this time I have made a start to the upper part of the fighting compartment. Not a lot to see but it was quite time consuming.

Quality takes time. I'll bet that doing this the hours pass unnoticed.

Paul,
Slow and steady...thats the way to do it. Although it will be hidden from view its good to know its there.

Cheers,
