Hi Ken, can't believe your doing this to such a great kit!


Only playing, haven't posted on this thread for a while just been watching the incredible amount of time and work you've been putting in.


Mate, it is looking incredible and I can't wait to see it finished. I posted on a thread of mine earlier basically saying that I don't think I could just build a kit straight otb, i mean I could and probably will one day but a bit of scratch, weathering and aftermarket add ons is what gives these kits identity isn't it?


You know what your doing Ken just crack on mate, just get some nice shots for us when it's done.


Cheers


Phil

A small update, and a question would I get away with these as Sten Guns.

Cracking job on those sten guns ( they look very good to me ) I really like the way you've scratched them up. How did you get the 1/8 scale ( must have been hard??


Regards

I found a pic with a tea chest in it (my boss has some in the cellar so I measured them then the one in the pic so I knew the pic was roughly 1/16 so I doubled the size (I know it's not very accurate but it looks similar to other stencils guns I've seen in pics with what look like a mg42)

Hi all no pictures tonight but, after a concerted effort today I can confidently say this will be finished tomorrow, its been a long hard slog but on the final stretch today just a bit of tidying up required tomorrow.
