Lee,
when you add the crew, you might have to adjust their height - you can't see much of their heads, but you want to get them in the middle of the hatch opening - you don't want to hide your really good face painting!

Thanks for the advice Dave, I'll bear that in mind when it comes to putting them in place, thank you.

Just a small update tonight, adding some muck to the sides, this was done by using moulding paste, airs dries and is manipulated with a drop of water...

Thanks Andy, just finished smudging some colour on the mud, I'll shade it tomorrow to give it some depth... might sort the wheels out too?!

John, this is the paste I'm using, thankfully it dries quite quickly, I've used it once before on the base for my 1 87 Panther.

Very little update tonight, wheels and rails are painted and on with a smudge of paste to muddy it up... tonight's modelling was hindered by an old shipmate making contact to want to come and visit, just a mere 33 years to catch up on, this could get messy! :confounded::upside:

[Lee W]

Here's tonight's update, managed to get on with it... so on with the pics!


Wheels and rails on, muddied up a bit more
Crew in and looking... worried?! Not very easy to get in to postion due to lack of space in the hatch, its beyond me how they did it for real!

Rear and cargo deck, ready for adding on...
Rear fenders in position

Here's the uncropped version of the cargo deck
Cargo deck in position, its even movable, I didn't even know that would happen!

Tracks have had a coat of german grey over them, tomorrow I'll dirty them up and post some more nonsense

Laters!
