Never tried this "black base coat" thing, but looking at your build I think I should give it a Go some day. Really, I like the appearance of your grey paint job! Well done!
Thanks all. This will be the seventh model I've built since giving it up in 1990. So far six out of the seven are one's I made waaayyyy back too. Wish I still had my original attempts comparison sake but they're long lost to the ravages of careless cleaning women's feather dusters, moving accidents, and perhaps a couple to the destructive impulses of a teenager who was given a Crossman pellet gun one Christmas . . . :ggun:

Sure is fun replacing them now though.

I am a sucker for a 251, even this old beauty. Nice job on it.

Thanks, Jim. Been building the figures all day. Gotta call it quits for now until Sunday. My work week begins tomorrow. :bang:

I've built the Tiger and the Panzer II, both are easy builds. When are you going to get started? :whistle:
