He Who Dares Blitzes! ** Done in 19 hours**

[jssel]

Great looking build so far. Man, look at all that stowage.

[ShaunW]

Oh man, this is excellent OT. A great Tamiya kit getting the blitz treatment - there's more parts there than I would dare try in a blitz I can tell you. Best of luck with it.

[Old_Tonto]

Thanks guys. Will kick off the second session at 8pm.

[Old_Tonto]

Here we go for round 2. The main plan for tonight is to:

• get the stowage completed and installed.
  Paint & attach any weapons - although I may leave the tewin Vickers until last.
  Assemble the crew & clean up seams etc.
  Paint the fighures. This will be a first for me so expect some drug crazed eyes.
  Heavily weather everything.
  If time allows, create a small base to display this lovely Tamiys kit.

So this is where I got up to in part one.





The sharp eyed amongst you will have noticed the extra sand channel.

Cosmic turned up with that this afternoon so thanks mate.

I have also stocked up on supplies in case I get hungry.



Onwards & upwards.

[Old_Tonto]

Not much to see just waiting on things to dry before attaching more stoage.

I did at the 4th attempt get the compass on so am having a glass of wine to celebrate.



I have also started painting the figures but like I said before really have no idea what I am doing.



We live & learn.

A really excellent looking blitz build. Nice work!

[Old_Tonto]

Thanks mate and glad to have you aboard.

Apologies for the lack of updates as I have been watching football on TV whilst chipping away at this.



The stowage is now all in and I am test fitting the figures.



I have had to remove the steering wheel to get the driver in. It does say that in the onstructions but I missed that.

I'm starting to get tired now so I may skip building a display base. Will see how I feel.

[Arcwelder]

Beard painting. That's what we need to see!

[Old_Tonto]

Beard painting. That's what we need to see!

Nearly there. Just need to let the flesh tone dry then beardy guys rule.



So whilst that dries I have a cunning plan to make a base only using the supplies I have to hand.



More to follow.

[Old_Tonto]

Calling this one done after 19 hours. Hope you like it.











That is another kit built although I fancy getting another of these and doing a .50 cal armed jeep.
There is room on that stand for another! :LOL:

Off to bed now. Night all.

[philp]

Nice job and well within the time limit.

[jssel]

Beautiful build. Nice all around.

[mjatx]

Excellent work! I really like the way it looks on that base. Very natural.

[ShaunW]

That is fantastic OT, looks like you spent a month on it. Top blitzing

[Kitaholic]

Great job on that. I remember doing this years ago and you have done a better job on a blitz than I did taking my time
