May 31May 31 Author It’s too hot to print anything 3D, so i went back to this build. Started with panel line washes and did some work on the base.
June 7Jun 7 Author Speeding things up now. Matt coat and panel line washes are on. Now adding scratches and patches. Also adding the groundwork and grass.
June 7Jun 7 Author Since i lost all my previous data, i’ll add some older in progress shots as i go along. Here’s the measurement apparatus as seen in the read cockpit of this machine.I drew this up in Cinema4D.
June 7Jun 7 Author Also drew up the Lofte bombsight. The MDC one was toast and looked like a piece of chewing gum. Also drew the upper access panel to the bomb aimer. And made the glass by vacforming it.
June 8Jun 8 Author Started painting the figures. 6 in total m. First time using vallejo water based paint.

June 22Jun 22 Author Adding all the parts now. Gear is installed half way down as in the photo’s. Had to retract and shorten the pistons. Slowly the figures are getting colour. Can’t wait to clear this thing of the bench!
July 11Jul 11 Author More work in some of the figures. I’ll probably never get the hang of this, but i shall soldier on :)
