The interior is painted and the gun crew is assembled from an Infantry outfit and painting has started. The Panzer Maiden is getting settled in her seat. Then the hulls were glued together.
A mold is in the process for the rounds. Gary S.

Spay painted the red primer on yesterday. Just need it to cure some before using the craft paint I have mixed up for the panzer yellow color. Gary S.

Gary, the driver's port is shut...

She's a big gal so, don't come a knockin' when the Hummel is rockin'?

Shush She's busy taking care of business and doesn't like the smell of paint fumes. The hatch is only temporarily closed till the painting is done.
LOL Gary S.

Some more done on the weathering. A coat of Future next then decals with more weathering plus white wash. Gary S.

 

[moon puppy]

Love it Gary!

 

[centaur567]

The tracks are on and differnt sizes of scrap stuff was used to hold it down onto the guide wheels. Some more weathering was done inside the fighting compartment. I just remeasured the bore of the gun and it's a little big. It's too late to change it now plus it looks most impressive.

You had a vision and you built it. Well done Gary!

If it ever bothers you, a simple cover will do!
