Not permanently but just the next two weeks. I’m on holidays for a while and given that the weather should be less moist I’m going to start on the backlog of 5 kits that need airbrushing.

There’s a bit more done now. The 2 main wheels , bottom left are on their second stage of PSR with possibly a small amount needed for a third stage going back the second wheel although I hope to get most of it just by sanding after I’ve put another coat of Citadel Boltgun metal paint on. I’ve also done the turret bottom right which will need a little filler and have done the main body assembly also which again needs a little filler.

I’ve finished the Krupp Raumer up until the painting stage. No major dramas involved and would recommend it as a quickish simple build

I’ve also started the Minenraumer but not as happy with this one. The pads are split in two and you join them from either side so effectively the wheel is trapped in the middle allowing the pad to move. As there are 30 pads this is a lot of PSR to do. So far I have Milliputed the 20 big pads and am working on guitar remaining small pads on the tricycle front wheel. On the plus side it guarantees that the three bottom pads will be on the ground which the 1.35 version did not and required some work to achieve.
