Wow, that's a very detailed piece for it's size . Must be tough tricky to work with the clear piece

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the feedback. Yes, the clear parts were challenging to work with. Getting the nib filed off, finding the locator holes and getting the assembly done wiped out about an hour. I have two more in the stash (the E 100 came with three) so the next one is going to get primed first. :laugh:

I meant to take photos along side another build for scale reference, it slipped past me. Will get that done next update.

Thanks for coming by.

Sorry for my lack of updates this week, I did get the base color on the E 10 last Sunday. My wife wasn't feeling well, so I cut my bench session short to sit with her. Here's where I left off, Tamiya XF81 Dark Green over Tamiya Gray primer.

While I was waiting on the green to dry, I started cleaning up individual track links, there's only 100 links per side. :idonno :gogo I had about 80 cleaned when I had one pop out of my grip. I heard it hit and went looking. There's a heat register a few feet from my bench and guess where the link landed? :pinch:

Of course, when I tried to get it off the register...

My wife came to the rescue with her trusty Dyson and retrieved it from Purgatory. :laugh:

This morning, I started applying the camouflage. Lots of masking tape and patience.

Tamiya XF 24 Dark Grey followed by XF 27 Black Green.

Creature of the night, much more to come.

Thanks for coming by!
