Evening all, the gun Breech I complete - built painted and weathered slightly, think I have done a reasonable job of it. OC.

What a cool idea, I had a nightmare stopping my ropes from fuzzing, I had to use watered down PVA on then in the end. OC.

Excellent work - Love the weathering, you going to do what I did with the masts/spars - use wood for the insides of the masts and all wood spars - will help to stop bending or snapping when rigged. OC.

You should get a kit of a M113 Lou, would be so fitting and kind of your - getting them back for not letting you loose in one - in service. OC.

I agree with Greg. Fully recommend the Academy 1/350 Warspite (as I built her in the forum) Its a Superb kit and well worh getting the Full Potos Update set for it as it includes - Decking, lots and lots of PE goodies even some brass and Resin parts. I know you would do a Fantastic job of that. OC.

That is so cool mate - not envious at all you ....you person.😁 They can move quite quick aswel 30-40mph on the roads I understand? always loved the bulk and shape of the M6A3, did the Tamiya one years back. OC.

Evening all, bit of a late update - I am currently working on the Breech mechanism attaching it to the cradle and the mantlet, I have used a few of the stock M1 parts for this but going by the Chally photos I have, I am modifying it somewhat to show some quite good detail, I will be leaving it in a free elevation state by just gluing the two locating lugs down but leaving the trunion lugs un-glued. Pics tomorrow. OC.

Great work Mike, I also remember enjoying my one and only 1/700 ship - something about having everything in a small area. OC.

Dont know if it might help - but don't they advice or suggest burnishing down the edge of the tape when its in place? also with my method on my Mossie and Spit with Blue Tack work great as long as you have it stuck well to the model, and as EG said - the thicker the hight of the worm shape Blue Tack - the more subtle the camo will be. OC.

Evening all, painting day - started with about Four thin layers of dull White, then it was the turn of the Black details, after this was dry I did a couple of thin watered down washes - this was then brushed off to leave just a few stained area, then I did some detail painting this was followed up with a bit of highlighting - I think it will do considering it wont be seen. OC.

Very very nice mate, a few type 23 builds out there - but this is up there with the best. OC.

You are doing more than fine with your (quite honestly - museum standard work) I can only hope that in a small way I can step in your shadow with my diorama when I get to that building stage. Just Amazing my friend. OC.

I had a break from modeling last night as I was watching some rubbish tv (makes a change me sitting in the chair focused on the TV) however I have brought some washes for my Chally and M1 build, these are the AK Dust and Ammo by Mig Dark Brown Wash, trouble is I diddn't realize that they are enamel based, so whe I get round to painting/weathering the different paint types will be - Tamiya rattle can surface primer - its an alcohol based acrylic I believ, then the main paint layer again Tamiya rattle can same as the primer, then the Enamel washes and highlighting followed by the Tamiya Flat top coat again rattle can alcohol based laquaer (same one I applied over my planes). Hope it all plays ball. OC.
