M3talpig Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Final update until the paint goes on....... the only parts not fitted are the two schurzen panels at the front left......they need to be glued into place which i can't do until the hull is painted and the tracks fitted....... hope it was worth you all waiting. Now i have to admit that this is one paint job i'm not looking forward too....... burnt rusted metal, flaked paint, smoke damage, mapping, streaks and god knows what else....wish me luck chaps 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 .....looks amazeballs, look even better if it had been painted! Going to the wire old boy, just over 10 days to lob a bit of paint around! Nicely photographed too btw. Good luck, be nice to see it done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 About as good as it can get, right there !! Looking exceptional !! I was gonna say something about hiring a cheap hooker, to get you motivated, but It looks as though that won't be necessary......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just thinking Steve how good this build looks without paint, in one respect its a shame to cover up the work you've done...but then again you have the pic's before paint i suppose and I have to admit I'm excited to see the end result 🙂👍 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3talpig Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 So everything has now had it's basic undercoat primer....was going to pre-shade but with so much weathering to be done those effects will be invisible ...took most of last night to plan what needs doing and when. This is where we are at right now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3talpig Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 So now i'm waiting for the complaints that the updates are coming too fast ....waiting on the primer to harden off so thought it might not be a bad idea to get the tracks done and dirty...just a little mud not too much. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
