Well Bob, the men have said pretty much all that can be said. Great stuff really, but I think the probs lie in the fact that you are doing too many doughnuts on the base work Sir. Drive straight!!! Then again, what do I know...………...………..

PS, the tracks and wheels do look good though...…..

 

[BattleshipBob]

Many thanks Pete and Ralph

Hi Allen, no more doughnuts for me , riot act from docs!

Nice work Bob. Tracks are the nemesis for most people on AFVs. Scottie has given you some great advice. It's difficult to paint tracks separately if they are link by link. However in the main at this scale it's always easier to paint and weather tracks before adding them to the model. Even then you will still do some touching up. I think you have done a terrific job and is really looking good. You may want to Google using oils on tracks and wheels to create an oily and wet look on this area. That would be the icing on the cake so its up to you. Keep it comin mate

Thanks Mike, as Laurie said i am very close so can see the misstakes or perhaps worrying about it too much?

Evening Steve, been busy reading up/watching YT. A good few options on show. Thanks YET again for the generous praise and help.

Many thanks Richard, much appreciated

Plan to stop and finish by friday, now worried about over cooking it!!

Bob,
Don't worry about over doing it you have the skills to know when it is done. Your previous builds testify to this.

Cheers Scottie!

I would not worry about "over cooking" many pics of actual AFVs in the field show more grubbiness than most modelers apply to their
Projects, so I say, let it flow.

Good point Jim. Making mud with plaster of paris in the morning.
