Great looking work everyone! Some real nice models coming together. Getting some paint on my Firefly after running out to buy a new compressor after mine started smoking…

Oops… not a good sign…

At least you have a nice shiny new one. And the Firefly looks great.

Nice work Ron, the load out looks great in that trailer.

The airbrushing on your Firefly came out perfect Colin. The shading is fantastic. I didn’t notice the false muzzle brake before - nice feature. This build has a lot of nice unique touches that set it apart and make it stand out. Great job.

Lol, that’s gonna leave a mark! Some more progress, tracks and pioneer tools painted( yeah, they should be olive drab but I like the contrast), suspension on and ready for decals, weathering and (ugh) tracks!

This is looking really nice! I like the choice of paint on the tools. I always do them in wood and steel and as good point out it add nice contrast.

What color/technique did you use on the Churchill tracks? They look fantastic! I really like the metallic tone

I’m also a fan of the contrast colour tools Colin. That and painting the ammo boxes and jerry cans every shade of green in my arsenal other than OD.

Somewhere there’s a basement (that’s what a group of them is called, a basement) of rivet counters vibrating at around 10k Hz in horror at the lack of authenticity, but you need something to make them pop a little on the shelf.

Thanks! I just brush painted them with Tamiya steel. Will give them a few washes with rust and some light rust pigments to tone down the shine a bit.

Nope. No excuse. Tools should always be OD like the rest of the tank… just like my Stuart… :clown_face:

If they can chip a tank to an inch of its life, artistic license on tools should not raise an eyebrow.
