Cheers John, will go with what's on Wiki and make it up 😉 Assuming I can get the 18pdr kit

very nice.... don't suppose you are able to measure 1) the diameter of the shell slots in the limber 2) the size of the 4x3 rack 3) the length of the shell (have got an idea from Wiki but having the measurements form a 1/35 scale would save my blushes) if I can get one (trying to just go to the cheap option of the Emhar kit) I want to mount the 18pdr on a M3 Stuart body (one photo of this done once) and want to add ammo storage in to the body... thanks

Thanks for reminding me John, do have the "building the..." book

The venerable (or is that vulnerable) Academy kit has been secured for this... Next thought is do I look to get the Emhar 18pdr.... I think it needs to be done 😉

The rear truck bed will be fully visible which is why I need to consider enhancing the wood a bit

Base kahki green done for the interior and rear truck bed.... Plant is for it have been resprayed for the desert but not the interior. Chipped back to get to the wood for the rear cab and truck bed (night a huge amount of contrast to the khaki so may have to emphasise that a little later (don't think I will paint the truck bed desert as until the crane was added it would all have been covered....

Thanks both, hope to natt varnish tomorrow then do a big more oil work

Great work, I love how "alive" your weathering looks

while in HpbbyLobby on holiday my other half spotted car model kits and suggested I get one. With no way to get one to the UK I passed but I could give a car a go... sign me up (depending on date)

biuld a star war kit I haven't, join the GB list I will (mind I will need a kit and it depends on the timing but always wanted to try SW kits)

depending on the dates I would be up for this - give me a reason to finally buy one of the AFV kits

Thanks both... it looks OK from a distance but if you look closely it is a bit of a mess... not sure I would try this on a more "important" model. Will try to progress this through more weathering techniques before trying it elsewhere

Need to seal the panel shading then can do some.more weathering... This is it with the wheels just resting....

Starting on panel line, following the same process as I did for the BA6 a drive wheel to show before and after

Thanks Francis Did wonder about the red/yelow/red vs red/yellow/blue(purple?) but went with out the box with all its errors in paint

Thanks John, It was.the description.....

Starting on the final side... Photo showing how I apply the oil pain and then with some cleanup

Nice... Don't quite get your method for the tie downs tho ...

More progress, again a clean side and a dirty side... Couple of the bolts need redoing....

Thanks Keith... Trying slightly thicker oil round parts then cleaning up... It does leave muck as well as edges clearer so a good start to weathering

Thanks, for once taking it slowly....

On to top surfaces .....

Nice choice of kit... This is the one I am tempted to build (also in the desert)

Sneaky 20 min at lunchtime.... Starting to do some weathering...unweathered vs pin/muck starting

Gun mounted.... Should get varnished later
