That's a cute doggie :D :D :D What's his/her name?

Also, really nice work on the launcher :mrgreen: I could imagine this as some sort of transport between the assembly hall and a nearby launch site, like the NASA crawlers.

That’s Penny. She’s definitely my wife’s dog, I only get love when I’m feeding her or Hilary is out. Don’t worry Raoul, she behaves like a cat and is the same size!

Working in Braille is proving challenging. Everything is tiny and delicate. I’ve managed to get the tracks on after breaking both idler and drive sprocket axels on both sides as the track is under a lot of tension. Fender/side skirt armor is on. I added a bunch of widgets and wires to the launcher before base coating it as it looked pretty bland.

Note sure 1/72 is for me so far, might try a 1/48 next time. ;)

My first armour kits were 1/72 kits twice as old as myself...everything was tiny, clunky and horrible, I suppose things have changed since :lol:

Got the camo done, went with a random geometric design using a late war colour set from Ammo of Mig,

Gloss coat of Klear and decals on. At the moment all held together by gravity, will leave it in subassemblies to weather

Well done
