Sorry got very behind on this. Just had a catch-up. That is coming on beautifully. And love the camo net technique. Simple but very effective.

Update,
Cent now in the paint shop....
Green is CARC Green.
Black is Camoflague Black
Both from SMS (The Scale Modellers Supply)
The canvas mantlet cover is Tamiya Deck Tan.
And for a slight contrast in colour the Fascine frame and the plough are in a lighter Green in this case 4B0...
Obviously it will all be toned down once the detail painting and weathering commences...
More later
Cheers

No real update today, still on with weathering, painting tracks and generally making the cam net for the barrel.
About a year ago I stated that I was going to stop using acrylics, well after sorting out and using up the bottles I had, the day has come and gone when I tried to spray one colour, the paint was 'Air' it got a dash of thinners and flow improver, the air pressure was a tad high at 1.8bar, the air was dry and warm, there was no wind blowing, the airbrush was my usual one and there was no intricate detail painting to be done, just a one coat colour. It coughed, it spluttered, I mixed up a fresh batch, got the prayer mat out - but it just would not work.... So stripped and cleaned out the airbrush, and into the pot went some old Humbrol paint from the stone age, suitably mixed in a pill cup 50/50. Did it spray - it went on perfectly...
And so flushed with success I dug out the old Badger 250, the one I use for spraying diluted pva, ready mixed concrete, the coatings you see on walls (I think you get the picture) and the job was to spray a whole A4 sheet in a brown colour to replicate ration boxes. Out came the acrylic (different make and bottle) and you got it, the same thing happened.... Found a tin of 'sand' coloured enamel, 50/50 mix and on it went like it was made for the job, no spiders, no runs, no build up...
And so the few acrylic paints I had are now residing in the bin, I am free..... From now on it is back to enamels, lacquers and oils....
