Thanks for the positive vibes every one. lol
Its not that I am unhappy with the paint job, its just the colour lol. Still I have just to figure out how to do the MM camo with out making a total mess of things. I might have a look and see if I can find the frisk film....

Hi Ian, what i'm going to say i mean in the nicest way mate, "touch it and i'm slap ya fingers". I've had a good long look and can't see anything wrong. Can i ask whats up with the colour mate?
Jave fun, JohnComment

Well how long have you got John.
Na the thing is I saw a 25/17 Pheasant bring towed by a Quad on a road in Sicily and it had a rather unusual camouflage. So I thought I'm having some of that! After a bit of background work I found me way to which colours where the most likely. These where so ordered over the from Track pads.
Then I found noticed that the quad was a Morris C8 and not a Chevy, which the Tamiya quad is. The paints did not turn up and they are presumed lost in the post. (Andy at Track pads is sending some more though). So I painted the quad and gun as per the destructions. It's not that I am not pleased with the paint job. It's just not the one I wanted to do so I am a little bothered by it.
A Ha! the good news is that John is now going to have to come all the way to Denmark to give me a slap. I tried to figure out the masking for the MM camo and failed BIG TIME. No paint was sprayed dont worry.
So I chucked the masks in the bit and grabbed a hairy stick. Well the real ones would of been painted up in the field so why not....
It looks sort of like this at the moment.

Oh I made a new tarp for the roof in the Quad. Its made out of heavy aluminium foil. Just laid it in place of the photo. It needs sticking own and a few tie downs added.
The holes in the roof are to stick the spare wheel in. I was also thinking of adding a 'roof rack' as some of them had one.

Oh right, now know where this is going (me bad). I forgot they did mickey mouse for the theatre you are doing, i thought it was a repaint Ian lol (think i got out of that and if not, get the Akvavit ready). Looking good and the new tarp is a lot better than the kits tarp.
Have fun, JohnComment

Well I'm about as far as I can go now with the kit. Now I need to figure out a base...And maybe a few figures....

Fantastic work without doubting. Great your success of paints the mickey mouse camouflage, the model seems more interesting and ,I personally, seems to me a be very enterteining and agreeable model.
Will be waiting.
Cheers. PoluxComment

Naaaaaa. Sorry Colin. In fact I like the quad so much I might just buy another.... once I have done the two in the stash :-)
Thanks Poulux, Am I tempting you over to the Allies yet?

Hi Ian!Originally posted by \
You tempt me very much, yes!! The certain thing is that once I finished the diorama (winter patrol) I proposed to do one with allied soldiers ... but once in the shop I did not find anything interesting, always the Sherman...
I will be very attentive to your model, since already I have my third diorama in mind and it will be with allies!!! (That disaster I am, I have begun the second diorama and already I think about the third dio!!!)
Thanks Ian!
Happy modellingComment
