Modelling today played second fiddle to some 1:1 scale construction of a garden bed.

Yesterday was a little better with some progress.

First off is the Ki61 which has stalled a little with only some minor painting and work on the bomb racks done. I’m picking up the Tamiya silver hopefully next week so this will hopefully reignite the fire on this one.

Next up is the Krupp Raumer which finally got some paint again. I think the issue last time was spraying from too far away. I concentrated on just doing the top and it looks ok so far. I hope to do more before I go away.

The Minenraumer has been test fitted and the chains look ok. I’m not putting the front track section in till after the painting is finished as the parts are designed so that once you put it in it won’t be coming out again.

This is now up to bring ready to paint also as the etched parts have been added along with the lights.

Last up is a bit of a surprise. I had a little spare time yesterday so got out the card kit of the dump bin I ordered last year. I’ve got the two sides together with their stiffening frameworks and added some Milliput to the gap between the two parts on each side. This is very much an extra kit to fiddle with when I have time.
