hi Steve i will tag along as well always nice to see kits come together,and pickup bits and bobs along the way,

one thing i have noticed with most ,builds is that none off you seen to do any per under coating or painting,

is there a reason behind it ?

as i do tend to paint the underside and paint in the exhausts, springs, and frame before i put it together is that

the wrong way off going about it , like on half tracks and tank paint the road wheels , and behind them were you

cannot get a brush in later, then go back over with what ever color and do the weating

[Ian M]

No real wrong way Moni. its what ever you find works best for you. Nothing wrong with painting as you go.

funny you should mention that Monica I was looking at the chassis with the exhausts /engine etc and I said to myself that I was going to have a job painting some bits , this is the first truck I have built in years so I am a bit rusty hopefully I will get it sorted, I do paint the tracks off model along with the wheels as I find you can get a better overall effect/finish as the amount of weathering you do to wheels and track varies so you cant hide the poor paint coverage sometimes , Ian is right there is no wrong or right way just the one that you are comfortable with , and glad to have you along

[monica]

ta for the nice comments, as i have been thinking off that for some time too ask, and as i have said have done a lot off 1.72 so its easy to hide things

im looking forward to watching the bigger builds always keep to pickup tips as you go along,
