I find very often ,that a driver or some one will fit in them,


so you need to do some cutting and moving about of parts,

I found cutting into him strangely satisfying Monica, which is worrying...... Maybe I'm just a small step away from "Serial Killer"

I actually did some more on this today. Haven`t ha much time last couple of days.........I have the figures in one piece and trowelled on some filler...... The sides are together and the various interior parts are on......... I'll post some more photos tomorrow.


This kit and the destructions are a proper challenge.......There are several parts that are referenced to the wrong sprue and numbers......... and then fitting the parts and sub assemblies is all sort of "Hit & Miss". With lots of dry fitting and a bit of guess work, as there are very little in the way of reference points of what goes where and only the vaguest indication on the Destructions........ There are all manner of marks & holes not used and are common for other models......... It's tiring. But I will win.

 

[Guest]

Keep going that man, it will be worth it in the end

Photos from the latest instalment ......... Figures ( Driver & two Radio Operators) are ready for primer. But I'll hold off on them until the officer that Robert has donated turns up and do them all in one hit.............. Sides are ready for primer as well.
