Yummy look at that "Spooky" would love to see that started..........😃 OC. -
I always build things with a relavence to us the Chally is no different, another of the places where we used to live - we were about 3 miles away form a MOD firing range where Challengers and other field pieces used to do live firing, we would often hear them quite clear the Challys destinctive "snap" sound as it fired, also sometimes they would be driven past us on the roadway on either Scamell or those other more modern transporters - what a fantastic site over 100 tons tank/transporter combined. OC.

Now that would have made some history/future dio almost like a Doctor Who episode where Wellington brought an ultra modern over sized tank back from the future and drove it down the valley firing at all the french canons, can you imagine the looks on thier faces....... OC.

Take good care Mark, remember this site is not just about building - its about friendship dont be affraid to shout if you need to chat. OC.

Thanks Mike. OC.

My idea is to either use one of my plastic clips or just hold the sprue with a throw away glove then spray away, might try to rig my hairdryer up on an extension leed then force dry the sprues before they can be put in the box, the idea is - any tough ups should be minimal and not on the surface areas, also all the join areas will be carefuly scraped back before assembling. OC.

My trouble is I am not going into the field of spraying equipment (just wont pay me to do that) so all large painting needs to be done using Tamiya Rattle cans, to do that (because of the fumes being dangerous to the admiral) I have to do it outside on our tiny patio with the back door closed, this means it has to be painted quickly without any equipment - tables etc, just held in the hand and sprayed then put inside a box with lid to take indoors. OC.

Sorry to hear that brother, is all up and running again now? OC.

I'm going to try a departure away from the norm with this one, bare with me on this - Im going to clean/prime and paint the sprues with Tamiya rattle cans before assembling anything, I also have the same main colour in Acrylic touch up tin for the small areas while assembling. This will help me as my outdoor spraying is not ideal with the assembled thingy due to not being able to hold the thing. Well thats the plan. OC.

More than welcome Ken, the usual goodies should be going round soon. OC.

Thank you Edward, I think Baring wishes he had one. OC.

Did you try MicroSet and Sol Denis? OC.

Thank you Denis, its supposed to be a Superb Kit even a step up over the already good Tamiya mk1 and 2, I have built the Gulf war mk1 version with Verlinden update set, years ago. OC.

I have just won this on Ebay, have also purchased some Nato Green paint and some Gorilla Super Glue Precise, I may start it when it arrives and give my figures a break for a bit. Here are the kit pics via the Ebay add - OC.
