It's more than that Boots, I've been in the Achilles and that has an even bigger breech than this ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

Your work on the breech and the treadplate is incredibly realistic. Really well done.

Ian

Ian thank you very much Sir ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Haven't gotten much done today, just sorted out the .50 as Tamiya still a very basic one in their kits. I've opened the fore and rear sights, added more shape to the handles, removed the seam and drilled the end of the barrel ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . (didn't have a 0,3628571428571429mm drill bit so I used a 0.4mm, hope no-one notices ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) ) ![](https://i.ibb.co/Km6xLBW/RSCN2396.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/2PVHdCL/RSCN2398.jpg) Still need to add the firing switch (trigger) below the handles, I'll do that tomorrow ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) .

You could have borrowed my 0,3628571428571429mm drill bit if i`d have known.............think you might have got away with the 0.4 tho ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

Prime day ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48357297372_779f93aeb1_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48357166751_d5ecc2ff8f_c.jpg) Next time I do a Sherman, or Sherman based kit I shall leave the running gear off (as Boots has done ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) to make life a tad easier ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

That looks very nice me `ol mucker ![](http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/hand-gestures/hand-clapping-smiley-emoticon.gif) , figs look good too ![](http://www.allsmileys.com/files/sweetim-communicate/6280.gif) Yeah it is a pain trying to get to the undercrackers when they`re in situ ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) , tis a bit snug (again!!) .........and it is a pain having to paint and weather all of them seperately ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) ..but....it is defo the better option of the two i reckon, blending the outer casings in won`t be an issue when we join up all the dots ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Consider yaself free from the `naughty step`...........that 0,3628571428571429mm drill bit was actually a 0,3628571428571428mm drill bit so it was 0.000000000000000.1 too small........my bad ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

Cheers Ian ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Well today has been a tad trying on man and machine ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) . My train home was cancelled without any info as to why, so I didn't get home until 16:00. I then decided to to get the OD going down, but with the temperatures at 36° and me forgetting to close my window this morning, I had roughly 28° in my room ![;-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/squint.png) . I couldn't get the mix of paint to thinner and pressure right for ages, and when I finally did it still took me a hour ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) to get a basic coat on the M10 ![:-S](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wavey.png) . Tomorrow is going to be even hotter, they say 39°. But even so I shall give another coat of OD to sort out the rough parts. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48365537331_5357c91488_c.jpg)

Pete, Boots, cheers fellas ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Well the temperature is bobbing around at 38 - 39° and it ain't funny I did manage to get some lightened OD colours on today though, extremely thinned and very high pressure got them through the AB. I also slapped some colour on the sandbags, tarps and backpacks. I used a brush for these but even that was very trying, the sodding paint was drying so fast on the hairy stick it's unbelievable ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . I also primed the tracks with Mig One Shot brown oxide primer ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48381559036_9438894598_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48381699032_8cbe150d37_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48381560276_249a93c4a8_c.jpg) Next up will be a gloss coat, then the decals. But I might just wait for a break in the weather for those ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

That looks freakin` fab mate ![](http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/hand-gestures/hand-clapping-smiley-emoticon.gif) , yeah i havn`t attempted the AB this past coupla days.....just in case ![:|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/plain.png) , as for the hairy brush stuff......i`ve started using a wet pallet method with the thin foam dish washer sponges......that works well even in warmer temps ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
