Really nice job so far Steve! You gotta love Voyager sets as they give you so much inside. Tiny??? Of course and you have lots left over for something else. Hope you are healing up well and take care.....

Bling tastic Steve. Dont envy you having to do all those clamps. I hope they stay there during the painting process. Keep up the great work

Opps, sorry chaps, another late update, got side tracked tidying up so I can paint heads!
Hope you are feeling less faint now Peter?
Leave the PE and doughnuts alone LOL!
Thanks Si
Absolutely Allen, loads left over, some of it doesn't even appear on the instructions!
I have CE'ed them for painting Steve, just took the photos to show they were working, Love the You Tube videos, you're a TV star now!
Right then, more insane PE with working hinges and working 20 mm cartridge boxes too.
I've parked this one along with the Stug III B waiting for a window in the weather for Air Brushing in the garage.
I'l build the Flak 30 last once I get over my current PE over indulgence
Working hinges
Working ammo box
Working side panels
All the bits, except the Flak 30
Time to paint a few heads for a change of pace whilst waiting for the weather to warm up.
Back soon?

1st 2 layers of the Panzer grey from AK modulation set
I shall paint the Flak 30 and its trailer in a different shade of PG for a contrast and to better define the PG extreme modulation I shall attempt
More soon?
Probably Thursday as we are getting a home delivery tomorrow an it usually turns into a 3 ring circus

Nice to see you at the painting stage. I trust you will be using OPR on this model??

Morning Steve
I hope to have a different PG on the Flak 30 as a contrast, I am going to try a grey/brown on the basic Pz IA chassis with the new metal in PG and fresh with the older base being chipped and everything in a dusty topping for a later summer in Russia.
Its too small and detailed for a white wash which could loose the modulation which is the main feature for the exercise.
Oil paint will be the main tool to take the extreme modulation back to a blended finish.
Thats the plan, we will see how it goes in reality!
Its been bright but a little too chilly in the garage since Tuesday, so it might be Sunday before I can AB again
Thanks for popping by
It wont be anything like as detailed as your Bison.
Hope the commissions are progressing well
regards

Laying patios and concreting hardstands this weekend so precious little time for modelling.
Its another beautiful day down here in Devonshire with the temperatures getting well into the 20's
Liking the late summer in Russia idea. Looking forward to seeing that very much indeed
Stay safe

Hope you aren't too done in by your Easter patio work Steve?
Thanks for popping by
An update as yesterday was cooler so out came the AB
The trailer in a slightly different PG
Together
and a Black & White edit which shows why the grey/brown camo was missed for soooo long!
The remaining modulation will be by brush as this is currently the limit of my ultra low pressure fine needle AB skills, but it is getting better!
More soon, though I now need to build the Flak 30, I was hoping to have the crew figures, but nothing yet
Regards

Couldnt move yeserday!
Ceased right up. At my age the body doesnt recover as quickly as it used too. All done now thank you.OPR - Oil Paint Rendering. I believe you are now well on the road to being an exponent of this technique JR?
Looking really good Steve!!! I like the idea with keeping in a tub so nothing goes amiss. It sort of looks like a Ruskie KV I drove over it and squashed it. Cool...…..
