The stowage on both is going to take the patience of a saint to paint

Thanks guys, and yes, adding and painting the stowage is in nearly all my builds the most time consuming factor...

If I ever do a model without any stowage it will be a shock, won't know what to do with all that spare time... except build something new again

Thank you Sniper!

Got the decalls on the truck, gave it another wash, then I did some chipping, sealed it all in with a matt coat ... forgot to mask the windows... so they are not really clear anymore..might have to replace them... otherwhise I think this truck is almost ready for the sand and dust treatment..

And made something on the front of the Achilles to keep the sandbags in their place...

Bert, I am getting caught back up in here and great progress on the M-51! Also, the 6X6 looks amazing as well and love the weathering accents and your stowage additions. Standing by for more great work on the Achilles.

Also busy with the M51, added the decals, wash on the wheels and underside of the hull, some lightened paint on the upper hull and turret... first few details painted.. looks a bit funny on the front, but that will change once the washes and weathering is added overthere....
