Well that was a close call, I just spent a good five minutes trying to find my glasses until I thought, well they’re turn up so until then I put my old pair with a slightly broken frame on. That’s when I realised I was wearing my glasses! Ahhh, yes------the lost glasses on the head. I have done that five or twenty six times this year. But you haven’t shut your own head in a car door and then looked perplexed as to why everyone at the table looks at you and says, er no I haven’t done that!

I miss the chats around the bar table at On Track in Folkestone. Never, ever, ask Paul H to come up with an idea for a group build!

Not as much progress as I hoped to make but I’ve started on the lower hull but need to let the enamels/oils dry off before applying some pigments.

Looking nice and grimy already. I thought I’d mix it up by instead going for my normal muddy look a more dusty one as it’s ETO so a lot less mud and more roads and dusty tracks. That the plan anyway.

Almost there on the sides so just going to go over a few little extra details before starting on the tracks.

Thanks all, really enjoying it so far. Let’s hope the tracks don’t cause any issues.

Nice weathering Jabs, I got some more of them pencils at the weekend, shades of black and white, thought I'd try them on the UN scimitar I've never finished

So the tracks are ready for the paint works and no problems at all with them. That pin to make sure the top length is in the right place is very useful to get the sections lined up.

Most excellent progress Jase The other nice thing about the pin is that it stops that have I got the tracks going in the right direction moments.
