Nice, nearly did the M8 for the group build so will enjoy watching you build it

thanks both......

Finished the IBG 1/35 Otter... Enjoyed the build, annoyed with the Matt varnish, I messed that up...

Managed to get this finished in time for the end of the GB after all. Think I may have to get the APC variant (would do the ambulance as well but that is Mirror Models so a more complex build). Annoyed with the orange peel Matt varnish but hey ho, lesson learnt

Ok, so 3 split, only one of which went through to outer surface.... Have used some sprue melted in glue to patch it so not lost at all.... The fit is very snug and you can almost see the stress line that the glue attacks.... Maybe using revell type rather than extra thin would've worked.... Anyway these are the 2 worst. Will stick with these and not splash on AM

Seems.to.be that the inserts split the rims..... A few videos and.build reviews mention it... But yes the whole assembly looks fiddly

Going with the IBG Rosomak BUT have heard the wheels are fragile... Am I ok to build just them before GB start to see if I need after market ones?

All done bar the wing mirrors.... Ammo washable dust added around the lower body and wheels...

Looks a good choice... Yeah do Igo old school Tamyia M8 Greyhound with Eduard PE or new school IBG Rosomak.....

Thanks.... Not sure what I will build yet, will see.o the 29th

Beginning to think I won't be able to get a kit built in this time frame. I lose all of December for Christmas so left with 2 months.... May start something if thats ok but can't promise to finish

That's the plan....

Oil filter done... Wheels on.... Horrible orange peel after varnish

Won't use green when doing the filters, should allow it to go more brown

Thanks... Oh well

Matt varnish applied. Hope to get a touch of oil filtering done at the weekend then I can put the external parts on and finish ..

That looks great.... The tyre does look wrong in my mind but having done a few of these multi-layer miniart tyres maybe it's correct

thanks - have to see, weekend away this weekend, week in London, maybe a bit of time next weekend... weeks training, maybe some time the following weekend, the 2 weekends out takes us to the 15th.... as painting is a weekend activity it will be tight.... but will see

Decals on. If I go for light weathering I may just get this done in time...

Decals on....

gloss coat applied, wont bore you with photos... Should get the decals on this week
