Great job on the base and the Panzer is looking good too.

Nice faded whitewash on the base. Tank's a good 'un too.

Must've been a long, busy day with the hoover and dusters then Ian? :ha:

I did get some bench-time, Shaun. Tracks and return rollers are on and weathering has commenced. Pics later. First the car has MOT to pass!

I hate MOT time and I hope your motor passed OK. My MG failed last week and cost me £100 in mechanic's fees to get it through - the little sod has only passed one test out of five :evil:

You have a MG? Nice!

Passed. No work. No advisories. Not bad for a 12 year old Focus!

Yes Sissel, the car is a 2001 MGF two seat sports car. A great little car but it hates the annual MOT safety test that we have over here with a passion! Our 10 year old VW Bora on the other hand is like Ian's Ford and seems to pass with no issues every year.

Page 2? Must be time for an update.
I need more paint!!!! H83 dried out on me over the weekend. There was only a little left but it could have held on for a few more days...
I've painted the figures. They just need their boots doing. More weathering needed on the wheels and tracks but it's coming along.

Mean? That's me!

And if you look closely, you can see that the little pots of acrylic that come with the starter sets are not totally useless. You can use them to stick things to while you paint them. Very thoughtful, Airfix!
