Whenever I get dragged to the supermarket, if I see any of those nice young ladies giving away samples of food in little clear plastic dishes, I ask them if I can have a few for mixing paints in. Last time I was given about 30!
Pete

Nice idea Pete, must try that next time I spot the sample lady. Might not be as lucky as you a end up with a slap !

Fantastic work John.

Thanks Peter, easier colour wise here, just grey at the moment:smiling2:

Hi Andy, like all things repetitious I just switch off and go into auto mode. No doubt learned from hrs sanding timber and stripping previous finishes.

Hi Steve, missed you mate , where have you been ?

Thoroughly enjoying my self the Stalingrad Building Company is indeed in full flow.
Sergi and the rest of the metal work erection team for the roof are on their way from Moscow .

Esp for Greg and anyone else still with this, I noticed earlier that two rows were fast asleep ! So Mrs Jones is coming round with her grass applicator and will zap anyone caught asleep.

Rather boring I know but needs must.
Having applied a coat of grey primer last night which is now fully dry I've started to apply the fist of the standard acrylic paints
The first is a thinned black to give definition. I like to stand these up to dry, this allows the paint to sink to wards the base and each side can be done in one go.



Close up of base wall.



More to come, but for now a long period of drying at least over night.

Thanks for your comments and support.

Greetings Si, thank you .
Hope you and the gang are all well. The good thing about this building lark is you can do a wash and then pop into the garden for an hr.:thumb2:

Stop Lurking this minute, Matron is about looking for Lurkers. :smiling:

It would be nice to see that again Steve, have you been away or just busy ?

[Steve Jones]

I've been doing another project but that's done and now its back to the bench all guns blazing. Matron has all the meds ready for me :smiling5:

Hi John
Another cracking building in the making.
I remember Stanley Unwin very fondly. For those who are too young here's an example of his genius. HERE

Good to hear you are ok, thought you'd been abducted by aliens along with your mentor " He of the North " to planets far away .:tongue-out2::tongue-out2::tongue-out2::tongue-out3:

Evening from the cool room at Race Towers. As it was so hot earlier I
had to wait until it was slightly cooler tonight before I attempted anything.
Results.

Still wet as you can see, not bothered with any end problems with the primer, the winter wash will hide most !
Think the cast markings are good on this, look very realistic to me .

First I had rubbed in some light grey pigment on the inner walls, they are staying greyish, the outer were done as well .Might just drag a damp sponge over the face again tomorrow. Seems to take so long to remove pigment, but over wet it and it's ruined.



Of course in staying the hull a wheel had to fall off ,par for the course for me .

I've left off the rear track guards, will glue those on after the tracks are on and pinned.
Will try to start the top coats tomorrow, can see the panzer putty sliding off ! .
Thanks for staying with this ..l
John .

Looking good John.

Looking good John.

Thanks Paul. So much to get done, at least I can go from one part to the next while things dry, or the glue dries .
