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  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

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).

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

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

And I lost a headlight! :(

Oh, well, life goes on. :rolleyes:

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. :unsure:

Sometimes I feel like I'm loosing my touch with weathering armour .
