              Finishes are just excellent. Muffler is a step above.

                  Turret is now under a coat of primer and ready for the base coat.
                  So while that was drying off, I reworked the GPMG (call it what you want it is still a GPMG).

                  The camera would not go down far enough for the focus, so had to put the pics through photoshop. Not happy with the gas regulator, so will change that and add the front legs before priming/painting.
                  Now waiting for the tendons to heal in my fingers after the dog decided to chase a squirrel and take three of my fingers with him via the lead. So as this is my good hand, spraying will be a bit of fun using my other hand, but we will get there.
                  More later
                  Mike.
                  It's definitely a Gimpy!!!

                    OK, as far as the build is concerned I am calling it finished, I could spend months just going round and round adding bits here and there but the idea is the vehicle itself.
                    Many thanks for all the comments and likes and for not falling asleep in the back - sorry no cake - I ate it :hungry:, but here are a few more pics....

                    And now for the ones taken while on the beach at Benidorm last year.......

                    You will have noticed that the front wheels are off the ground, this is because the models will be set on a base of uneven ground, so will settle into its environment. Next few pics will be on the 'Completed' section.

                    Cheers
                    Mike.
                    That really is superb mate - I now have a bad case of 'Jealousitis! Wonderful skill set!
