My camera likes to have a mind of its own now and then ..sometimes in auto mode it will select portrait mode  😆

And did the magistrate believe you ? 

Yep..I had photo evidence

Half way through the track links!

Tease

No I'm not - I'm just informative!

Click, click, glue... click, click glue... click click glue <repeat 120 time) 

Pretty much!

But you forgot the "Click, click, drop, swear, search, swear, find, swear, glue" segment (at least one per sprue, so far).


4 sprues of 38 track links each. 2 done. Having a break tonight but back at it tomorrow.

Track links are all constructed & off the sprues.

In the process of masking up for paint sessions, which will hopefully occur over the next few days.

 

[NARSES2]

Looking forward to it

Three colours down on the hull, two more to go.

Track guards & splash-guard(?) will be done separately, so that masking is a bit easier.

[Old Wombat]

Four colours!

So, after all the painting-masking-painting-etc. &, apparently, "teasing", the colour scheme is done.

It requires some touch-ups & I'm not completely happy with it, but happier with how it turned out than I expected to be a couple of days ago, so I'll keep it.

I'll just use Kit's 2nd Law (Anything can be explained in the backstory) & I'll state that it's an experimental scheme which wasn't adopted due to the excessive requirements for paint colours & time required to apply it.

Anyway, photo's, so you can judge for yourselves:













Hope that satisfies the curiousity.


Now, it's on to the track guards & splash board before going over the errors & fixing them up.

But that's a task for another day, possibly even not until next week. We'll see what path Life takes me down.



PS: Do I outline the colours in black, or not??

Looks good as is.

Definately an outline.  I think black would be too stark.  Maybe Dark Brown or Dark Grey.

Yes thankyou. I do like this 'tween the Wars armour

Agreed, perhaps Admiralty Blue/Grey ?
