Paul. I posted one of these in Completed Armor section when I first joined the forum. If you take a look, (it's on page 5) there are WIP pics. that show just how out of scale these are. Thought you might be interested. Rick H.:thinking:

I remember, that's why this one's an orphan and in a building where it's shortcomings will not be as evident. The ArsenalM's were much closer although resin & muddy in places and close in price. PaulE

Some progress. End doors completed.

Painting military & civilian OA tank set-ups (mil. for blacksmith dio).

Clean-up done, moving along a bit.

C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Doors look great Looking at the big picture this is going to be a killer Dio. Rick H.:thumb2:

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice update Paul. Those chains and welding kit must be minute. Keep up the great work

 

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. Some progress. Civilian OA set-up in insp. pit.

45 Red oxide primer armor & late 44 green bogies. What about camo? Your thoughts.

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

If very late war. Just splash on a little dunkelgelb in random almost careless strokes to produce that last ditch effort at getting it done and into action. I really like the progress on the rest of the dio. Keep the mojo flowing. Rick H.:thumb2:

I'm with Rick on the camo and can't wait to see the beast in it's lair all lit up!

Paul,
Just had a good catch up on this. Some great work in minture as always from your bench the lights will be a great touch

 

[minitnkr]

Maybe 'snake' camo w/DG.
Thanks Scottie. Some paving & gardening.




C&Cs welcome. PaulE

Looking good Paul. Can't wait to see this one light up! Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks, me too. I can't seem to locate my 9v reclaimed battery holders & connectors. Haven't seen them since the cave remodel. I must have put them in a 'safe' place. PaulE

Cut up the tuckered out smoke alarm for the battery connector & holder & tested result. Front view. Some light bleed evident. Will add foil between bulbs & roof.

Rear view.

Now to finish up crane & vehicles/carbon units. C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Paul.
Wow looks great, and with the lights on even more so.

Thanks Dzohn, couldn't use the cool little lamps, had to use some spare HO loco headlight bulbs as the 1.5v batteries were too dim & the 9v battery was too bright. PaulE

Paul,
That is the dogs cahoonas looks excellent.

Paul that light out put looks right, if you had used those small lights it would have looked insipid, and the bigger out of scale. Once you get those light bleed filled ( don't they just annoy you when you've done all that work) I hope you will post some again.
Dzhon.
