Just had a catch up with this one and what a great job you're making of this. Nice to see something a little different.

Ahh Pete,

Betty the Calico, ginger patches and George the bouncy silver tabby boy.
They have taken over both our lives!
It will be a great day when they can be ""done"" and go outside to burn off all their excess energy
8 weeks and counting LOL

Thanks Mick
Its really is a bit of a cheat for a Middle East GB, the T54 was a cheap buy for the wheels but has been saved from e-bay as a rusted wreak.
The reference photos seem to show a fairly mild rusting in the deserts of the Middle East.
The Paras are to MAKE me paint figures.
Priming and Zenithal tomorrow, then dust off the wet palette and Rafael Brushes.
It is an interesting one too, thanks
I still have a T34/85 with an African crew in the Yemen, and a reference photo to work from.
That is another once waiting for figures too!

Hello Steve,
Just dug SWMBO out of bed to come look at the kittens.... wished she would coo! and ahhh! over my work like that.....

Those kittens are cute. With those two little distractions I'm surprised you get anything done!
You've made good progress with this. The Hornet heads do raise the quality of figures.

Thanks Mike
The only time they are really cute, and safe is when they are asleep!
I am this morning's impromptu kitten bed

The paras are getting painted too!:surprised:
More hopefully this weekend
Though we are getting our Covid and flu jabs this morning, so we shall see!
One in each arm and hope for the best.
We haven't had too much of a reaction with the previous 4 jabs, just a sore arm, but both together?
Thanks for popping by
Regards
