It is time for another update…
The world of PE is a tricky one. It is of very small people and has a different gravitational pull compared to our own planet. I’m deciding to take the touristic route, going from one area to the next, keeping my mind fresh so I don’t end up jumping up and down on the now famous Tiger of mine. Here’s a brief list of the attractions I visited. I went snorkeling in Hull cast surface, paraglided off of the Aber clamps, did some shopping for postcards in Fire extinguisher and toolbox detailing and finally took some holiday snaps at the Bicycle gear cable tow cable. Lots of fun…
The cast surface was acchieved by painting the surface with liquid glue, then stipling it with the brush. This left me with a nice textured surface and some cloudy glue…
The gun barrel and mantlet aren’t textured (though the mantlet will be), they just jumped in the way while I was airbrushing the interior.
I added the bicycle gear wire attached to the kit loops because the kit items looked offensive. They have since been charged and are facing several months on probation.
Yes, I know that its not on quite straight, but I reckoned that these loops weren’t attached as tight as Christina Aguilera’s trousers on the real thing. I reckon they has a certain amount of slack, like Ben Afflecks IQ.
I have finally decided to focus on the finer things in life. A good South African or Australian red wine, good food, stop signs and tiny detail that make your eyeballs excrete blood. I decided to start on the toolbox on the back… All these parts are reworked kit parts. The toolbox actually had to be reshaped to show it has actually got a lid.
At this point my eyes were sore…
Then the fire extinguisher.
And finally the wingnuts for the hull MG wading cover… Oh, I added a standard issue ball point pen for scale reference…
Right after that I was blind.
The rest of the kit is coming along swimmingly. Hoping to get some World War 2 productions tracks for it soon. Anywhat; here are some more pics… Enjoy!
