It’s a real beauty pal, now for the icing

[Jim R]

No prizes for beauty but top marks for the modelling skills.

[Andy T]

Looking very nice indeed.

Great work Paul, looks a bit of a top heavy machine but you are doing a real good job with it.

Andy.

[Strenko J]

Looking fantastic as usual Paul..

[Andy the Sheep]

It looks awfully nice :thumb2: (awful the SP gun, nice the model :rolling: ).

[Graeme C.]

It's looking good Paul, it does look ungainly too though!

Andy, I must admit I don't think I would have wanted to crew one.

Ha ha it is an odd one. (So is the modeller)

Graeme, it must have stuck out like a sore thumb at least it wasn't intended to be a front line weapon.

Just had a quick catch-up. That really is coming on nicely. Can't imagine the design team had ever used an artillery piece in their life...that must have been awful to work in.

Look forward to the next installment!

Hi Andrew, I agree very cramped and with the sun beating down on it, the heat inside must have been awful despite the large doors.

The next stage has been competed. Decals have been applied, followed by an oil dot wash and a dark brown pin wash. When this had dried a matt coat has been applied.







Next up adding the dust and the burnishing of high wear parts.

For those who may be wondering I bent the left hand rail just to give it a bit of damage. Well actually I caught it and bent it :smiling:
