Paul thought you'd done the wood work as well, wouldn't put it past you to do it.

That plant looks like some sort of Crassula , but there are so many to go through I could be wrong.
Thanks mate. I will have to see if I can get some of the wood on line it looks like a laser cut veneer for future use. I will take your word on the green thing.
 
Very nice detail on the rear cargo bed Paul, John has confirmed his place as chief horticulturist!
BTW, Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham was written in 1951, but I read it at school many years later. I remember the TV series from 1981? Plants that move on their own are still scary!
 
Just bloody FANTASTIC scratchery Paul.. loving every update..keep it coming

Cheers Graeme, If I remember they were trapped in a light house and found that salt water killed them.

Rick,
I think you could be right about the glycerin they have been soaking for a few days, only time will tell.
 
Scottie,
That is looking the business, looking forward to more.

Decided to detail the kit stowage boxes a little and then thought it would be good to show one of them open. As the plastic was thick and had no base it was easier to make a new one. Once built I added some clutter including some etch plates, jugs and eating irons. A pva cloth, scratched cooker and pot and finally some scratched mugs.

The lid was added with a retaining chain. Which I have just noticed has come adrift.

Next on with the turret.

Not much done again, but work on the turret has started.(photos to follow) sorted out the stowage lockers. And dry fitted the body to the chassis ready to mark out for paint.

The Boyes anti-tank rifle's barrel snapped so I made one from copper rod. It took ages to put a taper on it and it probably needs a bit more. Next the muzzle break was scratched from 3 pieces.

Hi Scottie
I do like the open storage box. It's detail like that that raises a model above the norm. Well done with the Boyes. Tapering copper rod is a thankless task.

That’s good looking stuff Paul. Love the well stuffed storage box.
 
Just had a catch up, brilliant scratch building as normal from the master, a great education watching this come together.
Pete.
