Thank you Marco, Paul, Pete, Boots, beano, and Ian.. Much appreciated gentleman. I've assembled as much as possible, then gave all the parts a coat of primer. Next will be a top coat of Dinkelgelb in those hard to reach places so I can carry on with the hull assembly when the time comes. But before I carry on with the that, I'll mask and paint the wheels so I can fit them and the tracks.    |

Pete, Paul, Guy, Boots, Tommy, and, Marco, Thanks awfully chaps. Muchly appreciated. The top colour has been applied on most of the parts, but not all. I wanted to get the wheels and side armour done so I could carry on with the assembly. I then carried on painting the other parts, but stopped short of finishing them as my concentration was wavering. I was listening to Mark Steel's in Town on my headset rather than the job in hand, and was not happy with my spraying, so called it a day. I don't know if it's just me, but I find after spraying for over an hour, I'm just not concentrating and start putting the paint on far to thick. I glued one section of the side armour in place. I'm building it a bit out of sequence, but don't want to go to far in case I 🦆 it up. I tried paint the wheels still attached to the runner to see how that worked out. Most of the runner was removed so I could get access to the surfaces. Same with the tracks. It seems to have worked out just fine, with just a little touch up needed where the sprue meets the wheel. Or, the lazy me could put that section under the track so it doesn't show. I'll carry on with the top coat after I've glued the rest of the side armour in place.

Nice Dunkelgelb shade there Joe . Which paint is that? Also I understand what you mean with long spraying sessions, it's good to stop when you notice that the concentration is wandering off |

Also I understand what you mean with long spraying sessions, it's good to stop when you notice that the concentration is wandering off Thank you Paul. The paint is Ammo Mig (see photo on page one). It's a good paint as long as you take care to put it on in light coats. It's not very forgiving if your heavy handed. Thank you Pete. |

Damn, showing my age again . I hadn't noticed the paints first time round I'm just the same Paul. Also, getting back to the long paint session, I glad I'm not the only one. I know spraying for to long is not a good thing, having to keep stirring the paint every time I top up the airbrush. But I keep falling into the same trap trying to get it all over at once.
Marco, thank you my friend. |
