      A bit more progress, I now have paint, the upper hull & turret have primer, but the lower hull, wheels & tracks have a base coat. A bit more to do before I can assemble them.

          Thanks Steve, there's a bit to do, but it may take a while, house hunting and all that goes with it to do!

            It's been over a month since I posted any progress on my Cromwell build, all the stuff that goes with moving has rather got in the way. The Tracks & wheels are on, with the base coat SCC15 on, still plenty to do!

                    Moving and modelling? You are a brave man. Nice to see the wet stuff on

                      Thanks Guys, yes will be moving as soon as the solicitors sort everything out, which could be a while yet.:anguished:
                      Trying to sort all the paperwork they send me doesn't leave much time for modelling, it's like having a second job.:confounded:
                      I was hoping to finish this one before I get moved!:surprised::rolling:

                        Hi Graeme
                        Sorry I am late in. I'm another who likes the D-Day look. Seems to have gone together well and looks great under paint.

                          Hi Jim, thanks, it's a nice little kit & went together quite well, I just had to go for the wading gear, it just makes it look different.

                            A bit more progress, the decals are on, the star on the turret roof is a bit awkward & needs a bit of white paint to make it look right. Next up is a gloss varnish & weathering.

                              I hope the decal settled down for you. Looking forward to seeing more progress shots. Will there be a base?

                                Hi Steve, I managed to get the decal something like by splitting it & using white paint to tidy it up.
                                It's now weathered & varnished, so I'm calling it finished. I hadn't really thought about a base, but there are a couple of landing craft in a D-Day set my nephew bought years ago.:thinking: Hmmm, maybe.
