Joe,
Looking mighty fine in particular the build up of mud on the step into the cab.

Thanks Paul...I hope to add more mud once I put it and the other vehicles into the diorama base.

The camo just looks amazingly subtle under the whitewash and weathering. Nice job Joe.:thumb2:

That's good, how did you like those tracks, I had to give up on mine and turned it into a shot up versions in a ditch .
Love those figure poses, must have a look at those .

John, I hated these tracks..worst assembly experience to date,, fragile, fiddly, couldn’t seem to get them to stay together ...definitely going to be covering them with mud to hide all of the errors and misaligned sections. I have had better success with other types of tracks, but these tested my patience for sure....more updates coming soon..thanks for watching everyone.

Thanks Rick, Rick, Paul

I had to go back to the beginning Joe to remind myself what exactly you are up to here. The tractor has come out really well. Your figure is up to your usual high standard. Tracks are a nightmare in any build. Unless they are Friuls they are always going to be a challenge. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.
