No toothpicks?
Makes the bits a lot easier to handle. Just drill a small hole in the foot, bit of glue, leave it to dry and hey presto!!!!!

Quite a bit of detail painting done, the stowage done with a mix of just a few oolors, just added another bit of paint or water each time to get a slightly ddifferent shade, I thik this one is almlost ready for the wheathering: The chassis has been done as well., the track is dark iron from Tamiya and the rubber pads are Rubber black from Tamiya... the exhaust is a mix of gun metal, hull red and dark brown... And done some work on the stowage of the truck, painted all the crates deck wood tan followed by washes of very diluted browns, the tree stumps as well: Just can't get the white identification stripe neat, but found a good few pictures of real IDF vehicles with handpainted striping, so that is no problem for me.. I think I will try it the other way around next time, paint the bonnet white, put marking tape on that, and than the base color..

Looking good Bert The white markings on IDF vehicles caught me out on a Blazer build I did ages ago….although my references showed they were hand painted, I always regretted free handing on the model. I don’t know what the answer is, I’d go with your instincts I guess

Thanks! Yes I know what you mean, might regret this later on.. and have seen pictures of IDF verhicles with sprayed striping, but they are in the independense day parade, the crew almost had a sharp fold in their uniform and collars standing up with starch
