 i think I'm ready for the camo paint. 

Ambush camo plz...

[Indiana_Jones]

I think I'll be bold enough to give that a go, but will require me to acquire stencils (I'm sure Ali Express has the finest available).

Found online - The talent and creativity of people when it comes to kitsets is astounding.

And he's done part two:

That's fucking amazing. Is there a back story?

[Alfashark]

Without going hunting, it's the portal from The Man In The High Castle

[CarolsHusband]

Nearly there, trying to avoid my usual war torn patina levels.

Just got to weather the upper hull, nail it all together and fill it with crap.

All this will get hidden but whatever...

[Indiana_Jones]

Ambush camo stencils on order, let's see what China has to offer.

Also went to the shop to get some more paint for the Bren gun carrier.....and this happened.

 

[Indiana_Jones]

This insane thing has a full interior...

Dude at the shop asked me to make an offer, so it's not really my fault.

[CarolsHusband]

537 parts ? And it's only a little vehicle. You'll have some fun. Pic of 537 parts please

Also "Bren gun carrier" ? Last time I looked it was a Churchill. 

Are you building a stash up ? I know I have.

I'll see if i can get some photos of the parts tray soon. 

Yeah i have a 1/35th bren gun carrier i got a couple years ago from acorn models (just grabbed it because i was pinning for a model but wasn't going to actually build it at the time), thinking of doing it north Africa spec, similar to what my grandfather would've driven (i believe he was stationed in Palestine in 1945/46).

Mate of mine who is a huge modeller told me the number of kits a man owns is 'n + 1' lol.

[CarolsHusband]

I've got about 8 waiting, but I'm sure there's 2 more I'll get soon. Or maybe 3. Probably going to give tanks a miss though (except for 1 more, or maybe 2) as they're mostly air in the middle.

I know Takom do some full interior tanks, including a Bergepanther. So maybe 3 then.

Sigh.

And some more:

Holy cow. I think I'd have a few bits left over. Bought a couple of Tamiya halftracks the other day, they have about 30 parts.

[CarolsHusband]

....Between them

That half finished Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind kit I've got stashed in the garage, must be taken from the regular Panzer IV mouldings as there's about a million parts on the sprues that aren't mentioned on the instructions and wouldn't work on what's supposed to be a mobile anti-aircraft battery.

^This. I have all 3 US Tamiya halftracks in stock. One comes with a spare cargo area floor which is not like any of the 3 variants. I may have to go on the model forum and ask but they can be such nobs sometimes.

[Indiana_Jones]

I have decided I am too spastic to paint the rubber portions of the wheels for the stug, so will go and find a stencil to use instead.

That is all.
