Hi Si
Dry fit looks great. Love the PE. Like Jakko I'm impressed with your hole and circle cutting.

Nice work on the etch, the boxes look good with the locks & chains.

Nice work on the PE and tracks. You have a busy bench there. Any more than two builds at a time and I'm screwed. Keep up the good work my friend

Cheers Jim,
It was fiddly to punch the holes but came good eventually :smiling4:

Hiya Graeme, I was really impressed with the stowage boxes from Voyager...they certainly look the business

Evening all,
Work has continued.....slowly!!
The etch set included ice cleats, 11 pieces of etch per cleat and 15 cleats to make :thinking:




Even with the magnifying lamp....I could barely see what I was doing! But ended up getting them done and gave them a coat of Mr primer and a base coat of red/brown mix....I’ll let that dry and do the other side.


meanwhile the engine/transmission got a base coat of AK extreme metal aluminium.


Gave it a dark brown enamel wash, then picked out some bits to colour in :nerd:



Plenty to be getting on with ....might get an hour at the bench before bake off tonight.
Thanks for looking in :smiling4:

Si,
Lovely work on the scratchery and etch. The panzer IV looks very nice as well.

[Graeme C.]

Coming together nicely Si, the engine looks good.

Evening to anyone still awake,
Tiny update on the engine, added the high pressure fuel lines with copper wire then painted green, which will be weathered in later...


Still have air filters and exhausts to jam into the boot space, which I’ve been painting up individually.
Not quite ready to commit to glue yet until I’m happy with how it all fits.

The engine looks good Si :thumb2:

I'm one of those sad people still awake.

Looking very good So. And sorry for being behind on this.

Must be really late there by now............Wow Si, just caught up to this and what a stupendous job you are doing!
Looking forward to your next update.

[Si Benson]

Another small update.
Nearly there with the guts of this now and it looks like it fits ok, thankfully :smiling4:.








And how it will look with the lid on.
I’ll have to trim off the exhaust ends for the rear plate to fit.




The paint is still drying in places but once dried I’ll get it weathered up and give it a matt coat.
thanks for looking

Si,
Liking that a lot mate.

Hi Si
Internals look very good. Glad that at least some will be seen.
