Looks good from here......tricky business getting the drill centered on something that small, but it adds so much, instead of just painting the tip of the muzzle black and hope it looks ok. I couldn't help noticing the Bren carrier you posted up earlier......the detail painting on the crew is extremely life like. Well done Tim. Rick H.

Cheers Rick. The Bren carrier was great fun, I thought the crew came out pretty good as well.
Drilling the barrel wasn’t too bad, drill size 0.5mm......I only ever drill plastic by hand with a pin chuck.
The secret to centering the drill is use a sharp scriber to push in a small pilot hole first. Then when you start drilling, check the drill dimple is central and incline it a little to drift the hole back to the middle if it isn’t. Plain sailing after that....Comment

Just had a catch upon this Tim- my that is small!
Looks great though and a nice interesting little off-the-beaten-track subject.
Like the Bren Carrier tooComment

Thanks Neil. Yes it is LOL. I thought it was a fitting subject for the group build....I might even be able to get some pewter in....
Thanks for the kind comment abou5 the Bren carrier as well. That is out of the box PSC.....the only thing that lets them down a bit is the tracks...but at least they aren’t rubber bands!Comment

Evenin` Tim,
I`d missed this until now and have just had a good old read up!

Great start,and progress,i must say Sir...... and in that scale it`s even more impressive
! i shall be following along all the way....
Andy,

Hi Andy. Glad you like ‘em. They did something similar with captured universal carriers and also fitted them with captured Russian guns.....Evenin` Tim,

Glad you like the carrier as well. The figures are honestly really easy. When I do the crew on these I’ll try to remember an SBS of the trickier bits...Comment

That would be educational for me as well..........I am always amazed at the results folks get in the larger scales of figure painting. Not only would your painting techniques be valuable but also the materials and brushes, preparations......I would be front row for that Sir.
