Dang that is tiny! I have seen Mark's built in person. This should be cool once it is done! :popcorn:

After six weeks of modeling doldrums I took with me a bottle of cold beer to the bench and just did it.
Glued some incredible tiny PE parts, a tool box and a shovel to the hull and finished the building phase with a layer of primer.

For the coming camo job I need the following things: A steady hand, a small needle in my Airbrush and the perfect paint-to-thinner ratio combined with the proper air pressure. Image

Wow. This thing is the size of what? A gnats bum? Amazing.

I can't wait to see the finished product! It's looking good so far.

I also got the 1/16 scale edition of this vehicle, and it´s still not really a large kit... Two poor boys in a tin can! :bag:

Now that was quick... :sleep1: :bored:

Three color scheme is on. All that covering work with plasticine and Maskol cost me a whole evening. While removing after painting the stuff ate two etched parts. Fumbled 'em out and glued 'em back on. Don't mess with me, lol.

1/72 is an ongoing competition, if you leave the path of perfection for a second, you'll be left with a big mess.
To make said things evident:

The big carriage and many weathering tinctures will hopefully help to cover up the worst. :bag:

Thanks to all you patient ones,
Torben
