Looking superb. Well done Neil for your contribution.
Cheers Steve, it will be good to see them completed.
Cheers Steve.The racks and 3d prints are looking excellent Scottie, adds a lot to the modelhave fun
Thanks Steve.
Cheers Jim, Neil's cans do make a lot of difference
My glacial progress. I removed all the moulded detail on the shovels and added etch heads from the spares box. The locating clips were made from strips of pewter and the strap from masking tape. the canvas crew cover was replaced with lens cloth soaked in white glue with straps made from masking tape and scratched buckles. The wheels , spare wheel and mg tripod are just resting in place and are not fixed.

Lovely detail work as always
The covers are very nicely done Paul, this is looking good
Incredible attention to detail as always Paul.
The build gives you two options for the armament. The 47/32 Anti tank gun or the 20mm Breda 20/65 light gun. I decided to go for the latter as it just looked more interesting. Again it was very over simplified so a few tweaks were necessary.
The flash hider was thinned down
The sight linkages were replaced with scratched items
The sight was just a solid piece of plastic so it was replaced with etch from the bits draw. The more observant of you will probably notice that it is actually a Mercedes badge but hopefully will look better than the solid lump of plastic.
The handles were replaced with wire.
The seat frame was replaced with copper wire and the seat back drilled out.
Various levers and bolt detail was added.

Cracking detail work as ever.
Your level of detail is astounding especially with scratch built - I know my eyesight and fingers would never be able to get this level. It is brilliant as ever.
Excellent attention to detail Paul
