Lovely work. OC. -
Evening all - yep its been raining so you can tell that means time at the bench, so I decided to attach the side skirt on the side where the track is on, after fitting this I was able to make and fit the rear mud guard, this was then painted a few coats of Nato Black the dry brushed White to make it look nice and dusty, then I did the same to the front guard - same paint/dry brushing, then I made up one of the thermal housings then painted/wash and dry brushed before fitting. Starting to look quite busy. OC.

Evening all, firstly we took or poorly princess to have her post op check up - all absolutely fine she is healing very well - next appointment next wed. This eve I was able to do a bit more on the tracks - I painted the inner treads with the same Nato Black then it was wash/weathering time - the idea is to make them look quite dusty from off and on road use, after I was able to feed it along the wheels then attach the last link before attaching the rear drive sprocket. I think it turned out ok - certainly dusty. OC.

Evening all progress both with our little princess and the Chally - firstly our pooch - she is doing well had a quite night sleeping on the sofa as she can't manage stairs yet so she is sleeping with her mum, she is eating and drinking water - taking here to have her post op check out tomorrow. I Manaaged a few hours on the bench this eve after get both of the ladies watered and fed - I countinued with the track - these have had a sandy/alum paint ot the liks - this seemed to take ages, after this was finished it was turn of the treads - again lots of tedious work with a couple of coats of Nato Black (almost a dark grey) - I still have the inner track treads to do. OC.

You are doing an Amazing job Mark - and a superb rescue of the frontal grating - she is seriously looking Superb. OC.

Currently watching QUEST on the tv all about tanks tonight - very interesting. OC.
-
They are also getting dangerous - where we live dog walkers have been advised to go out in Two's as thieves have been pulling knives on people to steal dogs - the admiral wont go out now till I am with her. OC.
-
Indeed Ken - I understand having the op done is supposed to benefit thier long term health, and we would never want her to have pups, ontop of that there is a wave of dog thefts in the Uk due to the price of them and also gangs steal them to have puppies where thay them make money from selling the pups - its a Huge concern over here. OC.

Thanks Mark, we have to go back on Friday so they can check her over, we are sleeping down stairs for the next few nights - I do the night shirt and will go to bed in the morning, that way we are both on duty for little mis princess. OC.

Hi all, our baby is home she is sore but under pain relief, she has a surgcal vest on her to protect the wound, she has to keep to the house and garden for the next Ten days - the op went really well - hopeful for a speedy recovery. OC.
