Robbo, this looks excellent and all the stowage in the trailer is really a great accessory for the model. Fine looking mortar carrier, thus far.

Oh yeah. I like the dirtiness in the bottom of the wagon and the trailer.

OK it's done but not a lot to show atm but I will as soon as it's worth it
I added pigments to the trailer tyres and and done another sand basecoat on the logs these have got to have the oil treatment
Next up adding a fine buff colour around the lower parts of the hull without overdoing it
I got a few bits of stowage fixed in place too

Right fudge bucket I made the tracks into hoops and stapled them as it's the usual impervious to any known glue tracks. When I put them on they are a wee bit loose so I'll have to get them off take the staples out shorten them a smidge and re staple them then get them back on Not tonight I'm not, Chinese being delivered in a bit, they can wait till tomorrow

Can anyone tell me what you clean pigment out of your brushes with. I always end up chucking them away every time I've used pigments, especially after using pigment fixer on the brush

Cheers Guy, they are only cheap brushes but I don't want to keep chucking then out

Right very near the end should be all done by Monday. Just bits and pieces to do, a few touch ups and pigment around the lower parts. I thought this would be better than spraying dust layer as I can control it better. Didn't like the look of the logs on it, so there are not joining the fun Next photos should be the end

That looks excellent, Robbo, especially with all the stowage. Really well done!
