Correct. All blue tacked together. Turret, both track runs, all the outer road wheels, cupola, mufflers and shrouds and front spare tracts, the rest is all glued on.

Can you do an exploded view then? Might help @paddy and myself on painting armor.

I think he is way past that, Sorry I won’t disassemble it until I am ready to paint but when I do I would be happy to.

As little as possible. I would paint the whole think together if I could make it look good!

Fascinating to see how people do this and in what order. I think we all develop a technique that works for us as time goes on. I would never do what i have done with my Valentine again but i only know this because i tried what i did Thats the fun of all this, its a learning and developing process.
Looking forward to following this

I have tried many different styles and techniques, and honestly it’s all an ever changing amalgam
