Thank you Mark. OC.

I see you are correcting the bow slope - seams to be quite a common fault in most plastic kits of the Tribal class, looks like the only correct kits are the resin ones but the expense of those. OC.

Thank you Kindly Brother. OC.

Thank you Lou, I thought it would look better than the mono tone - fresh out of the factory look. OC.

Seriously though - Is it to "OTT"? I am trying to make it look like its been on a dusty range with that dusty type of roads that kick up so much dust when you power along them - I have seen pics of them in quite similar conditions Just never tried to simulate one on a model before. This kind of finish - not my pic. OC.

That would be fun. OC.

I heard after, they are stopping by an ELF garage to use one of the jet washers - and to pick up somemore (you guessed it) "Popcorn" OC.

Evening all, some more progress today - I fitted the other rear guard, then I decided that the frontal area wasn't dirty/dusty enough - so out came my flat white and I started to dry brush in a few layers - its very very dusty now. I also dry fitted the turret then dry brushed atound the frontal areas as side to lens in with the hull. OC.

Had an email yesterday - my toughened glass has arrived at the case makers home - he will be bonding it and should be with me next week - might take an artic lorry to deliver it thought lol. OC.

Hermes was a gorgeous ship pre/post Falklands with ski ramp, I missed seeing her at Pompy a few times when I was down there either for the Navy Days or Training with the Navy (told you about that) and at nearly 8 feet long wow would she be a Stunner. OC.

Indeed Ken - they are drop in blocks that I think are held in place by some locking arrangement on the tops, easy enough I guess to replace them when they are damaged. OC.

Evening all, more progress on "Tanky von Tanky" I have fitted the other side armour skirt then made and fitted the other frontal skirt device, also the mud guards were fitted painted and weathered. OC.

Thank you kindly Mark, you really should do one mate - no pressure ..........we would all love you to build one😉 OC.
-
Its so easy to do when we are all heads down in our builds - things like this can happen so easily - still does not take away the attarctive finish you have done. OC.
-
That is some display you have there now mate - made even more special for us your audience following each and every one. OC.

Very true mate - imagine a cast one already pre made with working links - just needing painting/weatheriing then closing the link together when fitted - that would be cool. OC.
