He beat me too itΒ :cwl::cwl::cwl:

I expected Ant and Dec to hit me with both barrels but now you as well. I fear this build will be remembered specifically for the detail of the wheels or lack of it , when I catch up with Paddington he's getting a slap πŸ™„

Nah, I don't think so... If you do what you've done on the last 2 builds I'd say all is forgotten in the endΒ πŸ™‚Β

Ant and Dec, Laurel and Hardy, shame on the little fella and it's set in on one so young...

Good job he named hisΒ feedΒ after himself, do they give you a badge with your name and address on too when you get dropped off at "work".

Now stop messing and get on with the rivets and tracks, unless of course you have more "pressing activities" to attend to....πŸ˜‰

So the latest update on the Sherman and I've fitted the upper hull in place and given it a coat of black primer. I've left off the tools etc so I can paint them easily and fit them to the hull later on. I've started work on the turret and hopefully should have this completed and in position soon.Β

So more steady progress and I'm happy with the results so far. Thanks for looking back soon πŸ™‚πŸ‘

Looking good Andy, sorry if I missed it, but what primer are you using - Mr Surfacer? Looks very smooth.

Β 

Nearly threw the Hasegawa Ferrari 348 that's been "in progress" for months against the wall earlier - worst fitting kit I've built for years. Knew I should have carried on with the Jagdpanther instead...!! :)

Hi Keith, yes the ever faithful mr surfacer 1500 a brilliant primer. Yep time to leave the cars behind mate and move into the world of armour, I'm loving it even if I've had to cover myself with Zimmerit to repel all the banter I'm receiving πŸ™‚πŸ‘
