    Thanks Guys, The stowage and cam net will be a balancing act. Trying not to go over the top with too much stowage. I am presuming the M1's beong on exercise in the bush for a month or less training and would not need a lot of stowage. Unlike Thunder run in 2003. Michael

    Lol :laugh: As mentioned, here are the images with the road wheels and side fenders on. Finally :ohmy: Have ordered an AFV club camo net and some Echlon decals as I am keen to see which would be better to use. Fox or Echlon :hmmm Have painted the loaders MG slide ring in Humbrol 53 Metal...

    Thanks James and Mark. Still working on the side fenders and once on will require further paint work to have the guards marry up with the pattern on the tank. More images shortly. Michael.

    Thanks Mark, I think your words have given me some inspiration. There was an an opportunity last night with some spare time to do a little extra work on figure cleanup for the diorama. Nothing too drastic just a little work here and there to keep the motivation in. :good Michael :drinks

    Thanks Duke and Bob, I'd like to build something quick but the problem is that I'm too particular with a vehicle. Spend way too much time weathering and detailing and I always seem to like adding figures. :frantic :laugh: Having a large diorama with king tiger, flak 38, v170 saloon and 25+...

    Thanks Guys, It's really good to get back and build a single vehicle, I felt like the Famo and trailer was a ball and chain around my neck. With the final images being posted it was a build that will sit as a huge accomplishment for 2018. I too had become one of those model builders who has...

    Thank you for your words. Did not realize the images look a little further away after posting them. The components will be flat cleared next for the washes and weathering. Will try and get better close up images of the work to show more detail of what has been done. Michael

    Hello again, Here is a small update on the work which has transgressed over the last couple of weeks. The Mig Ammo Primer applied. Then the 3 tone camoflage which was time consuming and still not finished. Some minor touch ups to do. The Bronco M1A1 Big foot track received a lot of...

    Thanks Guys Sherman18 The Ammo primer is working well. Note, it's just like the Video where it has to go on in layers. The first pass may not cover the whole subject and a second pass over the subject with the primer coats it all. Going from a Humbrol primer to an Acrylic primer was new...

    Hello again, Back with the next installment of work. To show a certain amount of wear on the track pads a number 11 blade was used to trim away and mark the edge of the rubber pad. The stowage was test fitted on the turret to get the right look. Stowage ready for priming Primed...
