Did the touch-ups around he headlight lenses tonight, finished putting on the return rollers (they're actually adjustable, at the moment, which will help with fitting the tracks later), painted a piece that I missed earlier (luckily it was the same colour (brown) as the headlights) & started painting the exhaust.

Tomorrow, I'll probably finish painting the exhaust & will start putting the track links together (they're indy links but not "workable", which will make life a bit easier) into various lengths before painting them.

Tracks made into lengths (2 per side) & painted black. Waiting for them to dry, so any further work will have to wait for the morning.

Decals/Transfers will be next, though. There aren't many to do, as I'm following the British pattern to some extent (2 x vehicle numbers & 2 x registration numbers) but, again, a job for the morning.

After that a gloss coat & a start on the weathering.

 It's the tedious stuff now but it's gonna be worth it for sure 

I actually enjoy weathering ... & that's the problem, I have to remember to stop*!    




[*: No, not "when to stop". Just "Stop."]

😆 🤣 😂
Same problem here to ..when is to much to much or to little or worst yet ..just right..it's the not knowing mate   

Did some weathering today & added some mud ... possibly a bit too much, but I can live with it.

Leaving the washes to dry for a few days (primarily because I'm back at work on day shifts for the next few days & I never feel like modelling after having to get up early), then I'll put a matt coat over it & take to it with various weathering powders.

After that I'll see if I think anything else needs doing.

I, also, need to purchase a TC & a driver for the Mk.II*, & commander for my RR armoured car (with rimless helmets, not berets, the RAMs were smarter than that).

Good to read progress

Looking forward to it

Same 

I've done it again - OD'ed on the weathering.

And I lost a headlight!

Oh, well, life goes on.

Just a bit of work on the tracks, then she should start coming together for final assembly ... We'll see what I can stuff up there.
