Hi Steve sorry I'm very late to your latest build and you've been doing what you do best tinkering and what a great job your doing :thumb2:.
I don't know if you have tried using Sharpie colour permanent marker pens on the plastic clear parts it works very well just let dry before next coat, just a thought :thinking:.
Keep up the great work :thumb2:.
Pete.

Hi Everyone

That's a terrific suggestion Peter. I will certainly give it a go. Many thanks
Well that makes sense Paul. Thanks for solving that one for me:thumb2::thumb2:
Thanks Bob. I appreciate the support
Nearly there now Mick. Just lots of additions to do now
Thanks Ian. It would be nice to see ours side by side once done:thumb2:

Moving along right smartly. It is always a pleasure when a model goes together
as intended. I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Cheers, Rick H.

Steve,
Rather you than me mate those pieces must be tiny in 1/72. But looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Great work mate. Was a bit concerned when I read " smoke " at first. Think Pete's idea of using that pen is a neat idea .

Been using colored pens a long time. I like the ones we used to use on transparencies. More translucent than Sharpies. PaulE

Equipment set looks useful Steve

I scratched one of those Coleman US beer cooler boxes for someone on MM but in 35th based on this

Hi Everyone

Its gone together very well Rick. Most impressed
I am struggling Scottie. I have lost four pieces to the carpet monster now:loudly-crying:
Sadly not Paul. Also do you know what colour they should be? Do they have desert variants??
Cheers JR. I appreciate your continued support mate
Far beyond my meagre talents Mr T:smiling3::cool:
Cheers Ian. Have you started painting yours yet?
They are pretty good Lee. I have some more surprises on the way also:cool:

That’s looking very nice Steve and I love the stowage:thumb2:
Shame about the naughty carpet monster nicking your stuff :tired:....I’ve had similar problems whilst building my 72nd Tiger I.
I looked online for some spray you put down to keep the carpet monsters at bay...alas everyone seems to be out of stock :smiling5:
