Ready to resume an old hobby..schwimmwagen type 166

Have started with the plastic, as much as I can and a wee bit of the pe! lower hull, wheels and the engine compartment.
Still waiting on a few wee bits (paints mainly) but just taking my time.

Colin,
A warm welcome to the forum nice little project I built one not very long ago. I will follow along

The only thing I wish I had done is add some very thin styrene sheet to the sides of the inner hull as there is quite a joint line when assembled.

So a little more pe and building, have ordered the bigger resin wheels and waiting on paint arriving, may fill the lines and spaces within the inner hull ....... but to be honest I'm thinking more about the base/dio and figures (decided to add them) at the moment?

Good steady progress.

Back in the saddle again..........

A wee update...
Now that I'm back at work (I'm a chef) I dont have much in the way of free time, but still managed to do a little kit-bashing.
I've added a little more pe and trying out painting techniques on the wheels that I have replaced...still to dry brush but liking the progress so far.[ATTACH]392986[/ATTACH][ATTACH]392987[/ATTACH][ATTACH]392988[/ATTACH]
