Looks pretty awesome to me buddy!
Thank you Mick.Superb detailing mate,
Cheers Neil very kind of you.Looks pretty awesome to me buddy!
Good evening Mr. Scott,Personally I think I have over done it with the weathering and it is now to dark in there but we live and learn.
Allen, thanks for the feedback matey. I guess it would be, especially with a white interior. As to the amount of residue, given the large doors to the rear there should be good ventilation?Good evening Mr. Scott,
I tend to disagree with the above statement you have made concerning darkness...If you were building an Aston Martin hardtop, then yes, it's too dark......But, you are building an armored fighting vehicle, used in combat, with a 25 pdr gun in a closed area. I think each shot would deposit residue in the turret, so therefore, you are 100% correct with the weathering inside Buddy.........
All the little extras you add, the scratchy and the etch work just make it even better!!! keep it coming at us Paul...
Prost
Allen
Cheers Jakko, I guess your rightI agree with Allen, it may look a bit dark but it would probably be fairly dark in there in the real world too — plus, you can argue it replicates the effect you’d have in the real world if you were out in the bright desert and looked inside a vehicle like this
Jim, thanks mate, I do like to add some personal effects if I can.Looks fine to me. Love all the details which raise this to another level.
Thank you Jack, appreciate it.No overdoing it there @scottie3158. Looks absolutely stunning to me!
Andrea, you could be right there was no such things as fume extractors in those days plus the fact the 25pdr. was designed as wheeled artillery and not used inside a confined space.I join the "no overdoing" group, Paul.
After a day shooting a 25 pdr. (and the daily allowance of grenades was, usually, rather high) the interior would have been absolutely filthy. Moreover, I think that the crew, while in the combat zone, did just the daily maintenance and cleaning needed, and prescribed, to keep the gun and vehicle functioning, unless their battery sergeant major (or whatever name he has in the RA) was a martinet.
cheers Rick.Nice!!! just caught up on this and the progress is the bomb, love all the little extras Scottie!
I think your right makes sense and confirms my suspicions.The usual superb work I suspect the thick parts of the doors are padding, yes — the frame around it kind of points that way. This photo seems to confirm that:

Backrests for the seats the two men are in, is my guess,
Cheers Jim, No pressure then lol.Great stuff Scottie. We expect no less from you now.
Cheers PeteJakko's picture also shows the cork padding onside the roof.
