Just a little progress with the distraction of the lite tank GB
Handrails ready to attach to the stair cases

2nd figure primed

I have ordered a new range of brushes try.

Pro Arte series 007, as recommended by an excellent figure painter on another forum

I NEED something to fire the painting mojo.

I guess it maybe a while, though I want to keep chipping away at this one, as the lite tank build wont be a long one, then painting which is still ""blocked""

More soon?

Regards

I'll get started on this one once I'm through with the four 38(t)s... ;)

Looking forward to progress here after the sideshow 's done ;) .

Been longer than I thought :oops:

Why do we torment ourselves with PE :evil:

This is a radio chassis for a better description :?

11 pieces of PE, and the reason why we do it!

The plastic has nearly all been done, time for some soldering ;)

More soon!

Hopefully not too long :roll:

Awesome job on the fiddly PE Steve! - looks glorious in comparison and usually makes a significant difference when looking at open or semi-open vehicles! :D
I'd say it is worth the effort! :mrgreen:
