Found a little time at the bench today so made up a headset and mic from wire, foil and evergreen. Hopefully it will look ok with a bit of paint.



cheers

Hi Simon, Coming from the master of scratch that means a lot thanks.

I think the lower interior is pretty much done now. I have painted up the comms and inserted the cable into the radio. Added a magazine and hung a mug on a hook. The only other thing was a packet of lucky strikes. I have added these on other builds as they are fairly easy to paint and are quite recognizable, they were also included in the rations. This time however I made the packet out of foil so it was hollow and added some cigarettes from wire this allowed me to crush it a little.

I have now started on the next stage by filling all the gaps and removing moulded items in readiness for the detailing.



as always thanks for dropping by.

I think you are getting good at this modelling lark Paul.
Each time I look at it it gets better and better.

Hi Scottie, leave you for a while and I come back to some great modelling...just like cooking, leave whats in the pot to simmer and the flavours mix and come out nicely. Really lovely work.

It'll be a while before I get back into building. A close modelling buddy just passed away yesterday with a massive heart attack. In Muslim custom he was buried the same day and I attended the funeral at the Mosque and later last night at the cemetary. I apologies if I mentioned this here. Malaysian modelers are shocked...he was only 47.

Hopefully the Toon build will get me going again.
