Great seeing you back on the build front Carl. OC. -
"We want more - we want more" etc etc😉🙂 OC.

So it starts - first was the belly addional armour plate to help defend against IED's, this has to be bent slightly at the front to follow the slope of the bottom, this was then glued down, next came the Two sides - these simply followed some lugs and glued, then the rear plate was glued in place. Next will be all the Thousands of parts including some PE to go on the back plate. OC.

Just dug the instruction manual out the box............😲 its like a library in a manual - but very well laid out and written, looks like my sub builds with it should work starting with the bottom tub. OC.

Can't keep you down mate - more the merryier. OC.

You should mate. OC.

Blimey mate, busy busy - your going to need a bigger build area. OC.

Think I can start this regardless of the rain - I could build the sub-assemblies like the bottom tub with all its bits and pieces, the top hull and turret, I will then be able to support them from underneath to prime/paint them, then attach them when thoroughly dry. OC.

Another interesting build my friend, I have Two experiences of the type as the Beetle - a friend used to have a modified "Boy Racer" type, and earlier than that a schoolboy friends farther used to own a stock one with no mods, very quirky cars. OC.

Tell me about it, I should have invested in some of that there waterproof paint😀 but the lamp is perfic, so I guess I could do some more figures - can't have enough figures. OC.

Nothing wrong with that Lou - like it. OC. -
Need to wait till it stops raining outside so I can prime/paint the spues - then I can start building, so tempted to have a go at modeling the interior but "Boy" is it complex - OC. Pic off the net.

Very very nice Bob - a real feast on the eye. OC.
-
Look what arrived today - the lamp looks like just what I need, the other one was just too small and not enough light, this one also plugs into the mains - the other one was a rechargable with very liitle run time. OC.

Very very nice mate - your workmanship has shown of some real graceful lines, another superb exhibit for your case. OC. -
I dont really know much about resins and this will sound neive but could the resin coats have not been applied in thinner coats with a wide brush but far more of them over the top of the previous ones after thorough hardening between layers - would that not work? OC.
