As it turned out it didn't rain, so I was out trying to make a start on the 'spring cleaning' in the jungle, sorry I mean garden...
As it turned out the good lady was totally knackered and went to bed early, so I got myself down to the cave.
The platform is looking nice and busy, and anything else that has to go on, will happen after paint:
As I have the crew set for this I guess that it will be in fire mode, not transport...(also due to the lack of a suitable tractor for it). So the legs of the base are in the open position. So now I'll have to think about a base for it! Grr.
Made a start on the sights,
And the splinter shields. Quite nice double skin jobs, Lets just hope they line up with the locations on the platform and gun mount...
As you can see the bench is littered with parts so I s'pose I'll have to start throwing so primer at it soon. The kit that is, not the bench. lol
I was looking for Morris C8 on the net for this and was rather peeved to learn that the only "propper" ones for this are the very over priced resin kits. IBG does the Bedford, which I have, but I wanted the 6x4 or 2X4 morris. So I have fired an e-mail of to Mirror Models as it seems that they are into British trucks and tractors at the moment and are doing them rather well. Lets hope they pick it up and look into it...
Nuff waffle. I have a lunch date with a sandwich!
