This is the first time I have entered one of these things, so hope this is the right way about it! I’m going to try & put these two together on a base somehow, but I think I may have bitten off a bit more than I can chew with the Famo. It’s quite a complicated little kit.

Hiya John.

So, is the Famo gonna be towing the Oliphaunt? Or are they just gonna be doin a resupply kinda thing?

Either way, it looks like it is gonna be a cool set up.

Just about ready to put some undercoat on. Still not sure what camo scheme I'm going to paint it yet.

Hi John.

That is looking good to me. The zim looks great, and I don't think that the green is going to be bad. After you put down the next color and maybe do a little weathering it will look very nice. So now, on to the next layer of color.

Shorty at the rate you are going you will be able to build ten before the end of the month. I like the camo pattern you are working on it should be cool.

Couple of shots of the Elefant ready to weather ( not the best photos!!!) & few photos of progress with the Famo so far.

Hi John.

That Elefant came out nice. And if you give it a wash and a flat coat, it will be perfect. And that Famo is looking nice too. I just can't get over how good these new 1/72nd scale kits look now with all the new molding tech they are using.

When I opened the Famo kit I got a bit of a surprise, lots of bits ( as many as some 1/35 kits I've built), good instructions & everything seems to be fitting together well & only $14.95!!!!
