Thanks for the encouragement gents.

To be honest I was a bit intimidated at first but a steady hand, a pair of Reverse Action Tweezers - they grip the part for you, then just follow the instructions.
It is mostley sub-assebly, then join the sub assemblies to the bigger bits.
It is quite satisfying to see the whole suspension coming together.
At this point dear viewer there should be a picture of my progress but photobucket seems to have eaten it! 
Back to the project. I dug out this Panzer 1 command tank that I built many years ago for wargaming the SCW.
As you can see it is missing a few bits - gun barrel, searchlight etc. so I will tart it up for the diorama I am planning.
I will try to do the same colour scheme on the new one. Basically grey\green with field applied brown splodges.
I have no idea how authentic this is but I don't care. I think I had some unpainter figures somewhere too, Morocan Moors I think. Wish I knew where I had put them.
) a diorama might be in the offing.
