Cheers Richard.....I've just noticed I forgot to paint the damn tail light!  

All the best
PS - I neglected to respond to Janeys' question (Although you had it well covered! ), sorry about that Janey!    

I think the situation was something like 'If it moves, salute it.....If it doesn't, paint it!'.....I tend to adhere to the 'paint the lot green/brown/dunkelgelb/whatever' school of base-coating as often as possible and the various armies seem to have had a similar philosophy!

Must get you to do a stage by stage description on how to weather vehicles one day.

Cheers guys!  Cheers!

The pin-washes are done and I've decided against the dust-wash so the model is essentially as finished as it's going to get until I have caught up with my figure painting:



Once the figures are ready and have been installed, the tilt will be fixed in place.  Some stowage will probably then be added to the 'basket-looking-thing' on the rear deck.  

Right.....Bofors time again!  

For what it's worth & all the best

I finally got round to finishing the build on the first Bofors:



This gun will be towed by a CDSW and I will probably make a tarpaulin, to cover the gun, from leadfoil.  

All the best

Oh, I dunno.....The sinkmarks in this gun were awful and filling them was very tricky.  In any case the tarp will probably be removeable!  

All the best
