Roger Newsome Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm up and running with my next at work build. https://goo.gl/photos/WaoLoYAwmF3FEmxw5 This looks like a pretty staraightforward kit and here's some pics of my progress so far. https://goo.gl/photos/nYXLm3wFbp5z2WpH7 https://goo.gl/photos/1A7Wrbcf2CiEY21CA https://goo.gl/photos/AFiUJHyHAGvVY2x66 Really looking forward to the camo painting stage of this one to see what I can do with it. I could be setting myself up for a fall but it should be fun. Roger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Cheers Stix. The weather up here isn't that great at the moment so I'm hoping for a nice quiet afternoon of wheel assembly and painting. (: Hopefully I'll make some progress and have some pics later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 We had no internet signal last night so couldn't post my progress until now. Wheels all painted and in place, the plan is to give them a final weathering at the very end. https://goo.gl/photos/4PmXKBaLn1qLVmKp7 Interior apart from the gun and the radio, which is next to be painted, pretty much done. https://goo.gl/photos/6EsDJGvTRhcF5LF76 https://goo.gl/photos/S6aYRAAXXhr9rtSa7 Rear doors. https://goo.gl/photos/hxgQ6bsucJS1qbBD9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 That's pretty good progress so far. The build looks fine to me your attention to detail is stunning as ever. Looking forward to the next installment Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Thanks very much Roger. I'm hoping for a quiet afternoon so hopefully I will have an update later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Excellent progress Roger. The paint finish and detailing looks very good. Did you manage to get anything done over the weekend? Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Excellent progress Roger. The paint finish and detailing looks very good. Did you manage to get anything done over the weekend? Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix. I had a bit of a disaster trying to paint the camo scheme which has resulted in a respray and another attempt. I'm working on it now but I will take some photo's later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Ok here we go, https://goo.gl/photos/yk1gg76VXRmjwAT27 I'm not really happy with the way the camo scheme has turned out, in future I think I'll leave this kind of thing to the airbrushers. I know I was being a bit over ambitious and very optimistic thinking I could pull this off with a brush and with very little experience but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. Hopefully with some more weathering, distressing, etc it won't look too bad. Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That looks OK from where I'm sitting nice work! Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 That looks OK from where I'm sitting nice work! Roger Cheers Roger, it's kind of growing on me now. I think I spent too long with it lastnight and was getting more and more frustrated that it wasn't going the way I wanted. Should have another update later this evening.

PlaStix Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Roger. I've got to agree with Roger - I think your camo looks right. If you look at photos of the the original vehicles, the camo on some looks faded and pretty much like you've done it. Looking forward to the update later.

Roger Newsome Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks Stix, here's this evenings update. https://goo.gl/photos/CwA3asykWNq3hhDm8 I think it has definitely benefited from a darker wash overall and some streaking added. Tomorrow I'll finish off painting the tools and MG42 and add those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Newsome Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Almost finished with still a week left of the trip. I just have the MG42 to complete which I will leave off until I get home. https://goo.gl/photos/AAbhHUDWuMAw6dcUA https://goo.gl/photos/6muP66dr36jhk92p9 https://goo.gl/photos/jHByrMg3SKqgaKH16 https://goo.gl/photos/DeahfMTAqeCGjppd9 https://goo.gl/photos/i8iKAaTHe9yqvg7GA The dusty effect doesn't look quite so pronounced in real life. When I get home I'll try and take some better pics for the For Inspection section. I have an AFV Club 251 at home for next trip at work so some of what I have learnt with this one should come in handy for that one but all in all this has been a fun project.

PlaStix Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 That really does look excellent Roger. You've done an amazing job with the weathering and finish. It looks brilliant inside and out. And bonus marks for an away win too! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Newsome Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thanks very much Roger, so am I. I can see me continuing with this little hobby when I am at home on leave, oh dear what's going to happen to all those unpainted figures I have?
