More great updates Tim.

Cheers mate. Having got it ready for primer I’m going to have a bit of little blokes therapy so I can prime them together.

Looking at the amount of work that went into this, I’d say that for a gaming model, the Hasegawa kit would be the better choice As a display model, it’s looking very good, though.

I’d agree with that wholeheartedly. Never mind, it’s been an interesting build. Not sure when the SOD will get done though, it is too much of a fiddly SOD….

I admire your patience as well as your eyesight Tim, it looks really good.

Cheers Garry…..eyesight is fine, patience not so much…..

Nice work Tim. This looks like a busy little machine. Finishing will be interesting with so many nooks and crannies to highlight.

Getting spray into the undercuts and crevices might be awkward Colin, but I’m sure I’ll manage it. Not sure dry brushing to highlight will be a good idea though, might have to be very gentle with it. A lot of the parts are butt jointed rather than fitted using locating pins so could have quite weak mechanical joins.

Very gentle drybrushing?

[Tim Marlow]

Very gentle drybrushing? :smiling3:

I do have some very soft dry brushes (cheap make up brushes) so may drybrush with oil paint. Finer pigment and less effort required, just takes a bit longer to dry…..

That's looking good Tim, despite the trials and tribulations.

Hear what you and Jakko say about the Hasegawa version being a better gaming option. I've nearly finished one and have a second in the stash but last time I checked they're going for more second hand than the IBG kits cost.....

Looking forward to a splash of green!

You don’t have to put all the bits on of course Andrew. I tend to go for it because I don’t game very much these days. If you have a hasegawa one I’d probably go for that, but buying new this one is fine. It just takes a bit of care. Won’t be green though, I’m going for the earlier SCC2 colour which is more of an earth colour just for a bit of variation. It’s what the SOD illustration on the IBG box art is painted in.

Looking very nice indeed Tim, and I thought some of the parts in my1/35 version were tiny.

Cheers Ian. In this case it’s not just the size of the parts, it’s the lack of positive location. Still, all done now and in primer.

Just had a very nice catch up Tim. Great stuff.
I can empathise with the lack of positive location. Similar to my Wasp, a fair amount of guestimation and knowledge of the subject matter are helpful!!
