Hi Steve
Always entertaining when a "mogglin star" makes a cock-up. Shows you're human after all.
Nice build and a few more coats of paint and you'll have a nice finish.

Hi Everyone

I put that one down to modelling at night and my age Si. :smiling3: :smiling5:
Nearly Lee! Matron is on stand by
Thanks for the link Fernando. Very interesting.:thumb2:
Four layers with a final wash did the trick Allen. Used about half the pot all together
It did make me laugh at the time Jim. All part of the fun of modelling
Not at all Bob. I was lucky I didn't use much glue on that part.

Hi Steve
That doesn't look bad at all considering what you had to work with. Decals without MicroSol or similar will only work on flatish surfaces and on a matt surface you'll always get some silvering looking at an angle. Painting the tools with that brush must have been fun :rolling:
Well done - certainly looking forward to a comparison with part 2 when you can really use all your skills and knowledge.

Well done Steve, all things considered it hasn’t turned out too bad at all :thumb2:

Thanks for the positive feedback Jim. Painting the details with that brush was not fun :tears-of-joy: :smiling3: . Looking forward to doing the improved kit. The barrel and the water cans have arrived. I am working on scratch detailing the tracks. I am also considering scratch building the turret interior. Also there will be a lot of stowage. Just need to get some bench time.:tired:
Many thanks Ian. Not quite as good a paint job as your mini
Thanks Ralph. Do you think I will get £80 on Evilbay for it??:smiling5::smiling3:
Cheers Neil. You know how hard it was to use those paints and brush
Appreciate the support Si. Looking forward to stage 2
