Steady work over the last two weeks has most of the details painted, the running gear on and the mud effects done (hidden by the running gear).

Tracks also completed, total of six layers of effects here, I like the effect but it was pretty time consuming and the bloody guide horns kept popping off and needing to be reglued.

Image

Stowage is coming along, hope to have the tank done by the end of the month, then I'll devote some time to the crew...

The end is in sight! Stowage attached but not yet “tied down”. Turns out I was one track length short on my estimates so an now in the process of weathering one link per side to complete the run. Figures have been base coated....hopefully my new found acrylic blending skills will turn out something less zombie like than the last effort!

The busy engine deck looks realistic. It just needs some dust but I'm sure you'll add it everywhere.

Just like figures, stowage just brings life to a model.
