I fiddled on as usually during the corona lockdown and today I went on with the woodbed. I added Evergreen strip styrene which I gave a woody structure before they were glued onto the floor. I didn't like the Italeri's flooring. I'm still finishing the woodbed. By the way I've decided not to use the Add On Parts street corner section as this RSO camo and the vehicle's decals were seen in Albania. The street corner doesn't really look like Albanian architecture. The fun part of this decision however is that I can build a suitable diorama from reference photos I like. Another +...I will look for a couple of British soldiers as mountain troops fought together with the Albanian resistance in 1944. I hope I can please you with this diorama.

I found two superb British soldiers for the setting, I'm sure they will look perfect. I have a clear picture in my head and I look very much forward to making this diorama as the British troops in Albania seem to be kind of forgotten heroes.

What a mission this woodbed was ! It started with the camo this morning, I just couldn't please myself with the results of it. The airbrush was stubborn, etc. So I removed all of it with Tamiya laquer thinner and after a walk with the wife and one of the doggies I battled on. It was a matter of finding the same signature of the camo I sprayed on a couple of days ago. Finally I did and now I am very pleased with it but another setback occured as my Evergreen floor in the woodbed came off in places as I applied the washes ! Ok I counted to 10.000 to refind the Zen modus and I did, the planks were reglued and after drying reworked with washes and pigments. Finally I dropped a camonet in the woodbed and more stuff will follow later on. More tomorrow friends, now I need something stronger than beer. Cheers !

Thank you Paul and Boots. I found a Tristar 2cm Flak ammo set and I think I can make an interesting stowage of it. Therefor the camonet will be removed, in fact it already is.
