Gerry's Trumpeter 1/35 Armoured Aerosan

Getting close Gerry. :thumb2:

Should be assembled tomorrow now, just got to plan the base (and be 'happy' with the execution of it) still, that's for tomorrow onwards, tonight working Professor Brian Cox's show

Gerry,
That is really looking good, some nice details with the etch.

Hi Gerry
Looks to be close to the finish line. Machine gun looks very nice.

Yes Paul, I think that the etch gives it another level - even if I'm muttering and shaking while working with it, it's just so TINY!:surprised:

Thanks Jim, for a change, I'm reasonably happy with the machine gun (even if I had to insert it through the shield upside down - should've realised that it wouldn't fit through the hole with the front sight fitted!:smiling

Certainly have learnt a lot on this one, hopefully all will be used in the future. :thumb2:
So far this build, the carpet monster has gone hungry - a huge surprise, given the size of a lot of these parts! :surprised:
Matron can stay well away, as I'm fine, and it's normal to wear underpants on your head and keep pencils up your nose and say "Wibble wibble"

And.......



Just got decals to go on this (that's going to be unusual, as I've not used decals for ages!)
And in its own environment

Hi Gerry
That looks good.

Gerry,
that is looking soooo good! Certainly an usual subject way beyond anything else in the GB, and you've coped with the PE like a veteran! I reckon if you can use those PE bits on the skis, you can take on any PE with confidence!

That's coming on very nicely indeed. Great modelling skills on display!!

Looking forward to seeing this on a base.

Thanks Jim, hopefully will get the decals on in a while.:thumb2:

Thanks Dave - really only got it as you pointed out the unarmoured ones a while back, then saw this one - and as I tend to be interested in 'odd' things, bought a few - must admit that the unarmoured ones are a lot simpler with no PE!

Thanks Andrew, will need to have a deep think on the base - the photos of it on the snow has made me think that it's going to be 'lost' in a full on snow base (probably why they were painted white!:smiling2 so a slightly 'different' approach might be warranted

Snag number one with the decals - one piece slogan decal should have been applied before the spare propeller!:tired:

Oops....

I had exactly the same problem with an Airfix 1/72 Typhoon, the first plane I made on coming back to the hobby. I had the rockets nicely attached went to apply the Invasion stripes and went noooooooo!

Hope you sort it out ok...

Looking at it, fairly sure that I'll be able to trim the decal to fit round the strap that holds the spare prop on. Will just have to check and cut gently.

I sometimes do that on the allied stars I add to our wargaming kits....
