Great work Scottie. You have definitely been succumbed by the powers of the dark side. The pewter bolts are a lovely touch. Great stuff mate

Just a quick update. I have added some interior detail which is a mixture of etch and scratch. There are a few other bits that have been built and painted waiting to be added later. the benches will have a coat of wood and hair spray prior to receiving it's OD coat. The drivers area will receive a coat of white and the fighting compartment will be OD.

As always thanks for looking in.









just noticed a few things to tidy up.

[Steve Jones]

WOW! Very nice indeed Paul. Looking forward to seeing the benches painted up. At what stage will you start painting all the interior detailing??

 

[Guest]

Yep! I do like those seat hinges. As Steve said am now looking forward to some wet stuff being applied.

Nice work Scottie. You are one very clean and careful modeller.

Thanks Steve, hopefully I will make a start on painting the interior tomorrow.

Mike, Thanks for looking in, the hinges were very fiddly and I nearly didn't bother but glad I stuck with it.

Nice work Scottie. You are one very clean and careful modeller.

Thanks Peter appreciate the comment, sometimes it bites me in the bum as I didn't use enough glue or I ping it off trying to clean it up. I have a few things to tidy up that I have noticed in the pictures.

Hi Scottie
Love the way the added details raise the interior to the next level. A perfect example are the foot pedals - just wouldn't be the same using styrene bits. I had to smile at your comment about bits pinging off 'cause there wasn't enough glue. I am the same although it is a great advantage when I stick something in the wrong place, upsidedown or when it should have been painted first. I can easily get it off!! :tongue-out3:

Thanks Jim, There are some things that etch are good for.

A tad late scottie, cracking build.

Now being a truck tech i find a lot of heat, sledge hammer and swear box will move anything lol

Along for a lesson in modelling !!

Bob

 

[scottie3158]

Bob,
no worries glad your here now, as an engineer I agree totally :tongue-out3:. Not sure about lessons but your welcome along for the ride.

Had a good day, started painting up and detailing the lower hull. Still quite a bit to add including some stowage. Tried to go for a lived in look.






cheers
Scottie

Bloody nora! That's impressive Scottie. You must be very pleased with the look. Well done mate. Cracking stuff

Good Evening Mr. Scott,

Effective immediately, this type of moggelling must stop!!! I am still looking for words to comment on your rock ledge in the last Masterpiece as well as the vehicles...……..

You're off to a super start Buddy, please keep it going. Me, I think I'll give up moggelling and take up collecting lint balls from under my bed...…………...

Prost
Allen
