The colour varied during the war, AFAIK. I know some in a museum nearby that are OD, for example.

Thanks Jakko

 

[Jakko]

Forgot to mention that, IIRC, OD was the late-war colour. So for your Bishop, brown would probably be the safer choice?

 

[Ian M]

Just had a catch up. Excellent work Paul.

 

[Allen Dewire]

Hey Bro!!! Excellent work on the tins and the paint job is also looking mighty fine with the pre-shading, but where are the ketten??? Remember those Paul??? Something's gotta go on them roadwheels...Or are the figs giving you grief???.......No rush, really!!!....

Cheers, Just to hedge my bets I have painted one OD and the other brown.

Cheers Ian, it's slow going but getting there.

Dude, Don't worry the ketten were done today and will be painted hopefully tomorrow. Then I can fit the side skirts and finish of the painting.

Very, very nice work Paul. The detail and process so far are excellent.
Great stuff

I just came across this photo on Missing-Lynx:



Eelke Warrink’s collection of British ammo boxes, that he describes there as: “One box in SCC2, one for smoke rounds in bright green, and four in the dark green colour (and a stained wooden box).”

Cheers Jakko, I don't know why I worry about it I'm not normally one to worry about the "right colour"

 

[Jakko]

Can I tempt you to paint one of the boxes bright green, then?

one box is green although not bright green

 

[scottie3158]

Tracks are on. I only did the bottom run as the skirts hide the top. The skirts are on they can now have the detail added then painted. I have added the red brown cammo. when the skirts are done I can then move on to the weathering and detailing.

sorry crap picture



cheers

What an ungainly looking thing. It's a wonder someone didn't say "now don't be silly" the first time it was demonstrated. Lovely work as always though Scottie...

You have seen other British vehicles (not just military), right?

Nick, ugly, ungainly and not much cop either. I wonder how many twisted ankles they got trying to move and load the gun on those engine decks.

Very true of the British Leyland vehicles era.

Skirts are completed as is 99% of the build. everything has had a coat of paint and a gloss coat. Next the decals and my favourite bit the weathering.






cheers

It’s a real beauty pal, now for the icing

 

[Jim R]

No prizes for beauty but top marks for the modelling skills.

 

[Andy T]

Looking very nice indeed.

 

[outrunner]

Great work Paul, looks a bit of a top heavy machine but you are doing a real good job with it.

Andy.
