You can't park there mate!
I've made a start on the base. In the spirit of things I found some old polystyrene insulation in the shed. It's really messy to work with, but it'll do After a bit of chopping and hot glue it started to take shape but my room is now filled with hundreds of little balls that have stuck to...- Andy T

I've seen him mentioned around these parts before but that's a good shout to drop him a message, cheers. Thanks mate, much appreciated. I'm afraid so 😂- Andy T

I've now added the stowage & decals so this is ready for weathering now, which I'll do later to fit it's surroundings. What I'm really struggling with is finding suitable figures. I never imagined it would be so hard to find German soldiers that weren't in "action" poses, with weapons...- Andy T

You can't park there mate!
Thanks chaps I had my first test print started about 90 minutes after opening the boxes. Much more straightforward than I thought, but even more messy than I'd imagined. I'm putting a bulk order in for paper towels 😂 I'm slowly getting there with the paint job, give me an airbrush any day lol...- Andy T

You can't park there mate!
I've had a busy week but some progress has been made, painting the parts I might not be able to reach later, then cementing them in place. For a kit that fits together so well (apart from my previous mistake) I couldn't find any way to marry the body with the chassis, without surgery...- Andy T

I've seen those pop up in a few places Bob and I've also heard good things. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them. -
Pre/Post Shading question with type of airbrush
Doesn't the evolution come with the pinch tip? Kinda like two prongs above and below the needle? If so, that can be removed to spray as you mention but there isn't much of an advantage in doing so, unless you are so close that it's hitting the model. Its design pretty much exposes the needle... -

Yes, not something I'd try, except for a quick touch up here & there -

Inevitable with laquers really. Although it's all relative. I find enamel & oil paints smell much worse, that's why I do limited weathering. -

Yeah, Mr Color will always be my first choice but sometimes I have to shop around for a particular colour too. -

I gave up on them a while ago. I only bought MRP paints from them but stock was always an issue. I started using another supplier but then John started stocking the SMS Premium laquers, so gave up on MRP altogether. -

But slightly longer to reach the required 100 posts. I barely have time to post here, never mind anywhere else 😂 It's a shame though, I do love a bargain. -

Thanks chaps. I've made a couple of boo-boos. The kit includes the steering mechanism, with a rod and two tiny cranks that are fitted without glue. Once the body is married to the chassis these can be connected together and cemented. Unfortunately one has gone AWOL. If the carpet monster...- Andy T

Thanks Jim. It's the third idea that I've started, but the previous two just didn't seem fitting. I have to say firstly, what an incredible kit this is! Plenty of parts for a 1/72, with some of them incredibly small, but very detailed. Most of the parts, I'd say at least 90%, fit together...- Andy T

You can't park there mate! You know how it goes, having a day off from invading Europe so you decide to take your halftrack out and see what she can really do. However, you get a bit ambitious with a river crossing and get her stuck in the mud. You radio back to base and all your comrades...- Andy T

Well, here we go. I can't hope to match one of Ron's masterpieces but that's not the point. I'm going to build a subject he might have chosen, in a way he might have built it, and have fun along the way. It started in a very un-Ron-like way as I couldn't find an image I liked for inspiration...- Andy T
