Cheers Allen that is very kind of you.

Another WOW from me Scottie. The skills and attention to detail you have shown in building your vehicle is also showing in this dio base.

Cheers Jim, it's been a while since I did a base and I had forgotten how much fun they are to do.

Love it all but that tarp is top work Paul !

Thanks Ron they are easy to do my big problem is not getting finger prints in them lol.

Ooh !

John there's not a lot you can say to that lol.

Nice union. Looks good.

Cheers Paul. I'm not 100% sure it's the right building for the location but I'm happy with it.

Wow, Paul. Your bases are as impressive as your vehicles.
John.

Thanks John they are fun to do.

Don't know how I missed the start of this build. Amazing work which I don't even dream of doing. The door lock is, well dont think theres a suitable adjective. Think I'll go and find a corner somewhere and cry my self to sleep. But still watching...

Took delivery of a new compressor today and set about adding a bit of paint to the build.

First of all the base was sealed with some flat black.


Next some OD and highlights. And the tarps received a base coat.





Next the crap in the back received some block colours ready for detailing.



it doesn't show very well but there are a few different greens being used.



cheers
Scottie

[Andy T]

Great work on the base so far Paul and the paint is looking good.

Cheers Andy, that is a great compliment.

[scottie3158]

The wagon received a coat of clear ready for decals and detailing.



I did some more work on the CITB I must say I am quite pleased with the way they have turned out so far. They are shiny at the moment but they will receive a matt coat later.





cheers
Scottie

Oh wow, you've come a long way since I last popped in to read up on your build Scottie. Stunning as ever.

[Scratchbuilder]

I have added the light guards from etch and brass plus the cable into the light itself. Having a play adding stowage and checking it for look. It comes from Red Zebra and is beautifully cast. It's only held on with blue tack at the moment. The jerry cans come from the Tamyia Allied set.

The stowage will be tied on later.

I thought you had a glint in your eye when we were looking at all their wonderfull castings....
