    That is looking very good indeed Andy. The best way to find the gun is to buy or scratch a replacement and stop looking for the original. The Carpet Monster will often then lose interest and put it back in an obvious place which you have already searched many times! If you listen carefully you can sometimes hear the CM giggling as you retrieve the part.

          I'm starting to feel like I'm in a bit of a rut with my model making. Maybe it's time to try a different approach for a bit to shake things up :smiling3:
          Fire !

            Nothing like rust to paint is there Andy, looking fine so far.

              Thanks Tony & John.

              I reckon I've gone about as far as I can be bothered to with this. A lovely little kit, if a bit over complicated with the chassis, with detail that is hardly seen once finished.

                      That is very nice Andy. Even more impressive considering the small scale.

                          Dang Andy, that thang is so tiny, I totally missed this build all together, Sir...Sorry about that! I like the rusty colors and the whole finish turned out great. Too bad to hear the carpet monster is still underway in your new 'Cave' though...

                          Prost

                              Thanks again gents.

                              That's the problem here Allen - step away for more than a day and one never seems to catch back up :tears-of-joy:
