[JCON]

Miss what? I blinked!!!

[WardWorks]

That's another of your Miss Takes then 😋

Might have been one of her sisters, Miss Print or Miss Sing, or that American pair Miss Ouri and Miss Issippi.

I think I'll stop there, before we get too carried away ! 😉🤫

All but Dun now...😎



Just needs a few grab rails, after a tadge of light sanding and join line seam removal type cleanup 😲

Paint and decals (along with the Grant and Panther) tomorrow. 😳

I'm off for a cuppa and I'll blow the quitting whistle and put my feet up for the evening when I return - seeya ! 😋

regards
Gomez 😉🙃

[JCON]

Fast and furious!!! Good job!!!

[WardWorks]

Its been hot as hades out here, and most bods have been flatter than a lizard drinking. 😖 I'm no exception, so progress has been slow but steady, usually late at night or in the early hours of the morning.🤯

Progress has been slow, but fairly steady, there's more paint on the Grant, hairy stick to the fore



Paint, plus engine deck grilles and indy link tracks on the BeObachtungs Panther



Finally, the T-34/85 has its spare track links, grab rails and other lil greeblies added, paint is next 🤔



More as it happens. 😋

Gomez of heat affected 😉🙃

[JCON]

Looking good and moving along nicely!!!

[JED]

Looking good Gomez

[WardWorks]

Cheers Joe, Jed 👍

Stay tuned, more updates within 8 hours (waiting for paint and decal setting solutions to dry),  so things can be handled safely 😎

[JCON]

I am waiting for paint to dry also on my OmniBus... cold and overcast here, so I've been inside building my bus.

[Dukemaddog]

Excellent work again Gomez, especially considering the heat! It's been a bit too cold and humid here to do much airbrushing so I'm trying to find other things to work on myself.

[WardWorks]

Progress, incremental and fairly slight, but progress nonetheless 🤫

We have paint cleanup (more required) 😖 on the Grant



T-34 has its roadwheel tyres and tracks blocked in and some of its smaller details painted as well 😋



Same on the Panther BeObachtunswagen 🤔



Bit more camo needed on the Panther, plus decals and weathering on all 3 and they's dun 😋 That's for tomorrow hopefully, unless I melt in the meantime 😲

Gomez 😉🙃

[JCON]

Looks like good progress to me, my friend!!!

[Dukemaddog]

Sensational work Gomez!

[WardWorks]

Cheers guys 👍

Dunno about sensational, glacial is more like it ! 🤫

Bit more progress to report for ya...

Grant's got its markings, just needs a tad of paint tidy up, and onto weathering...🤔



T-34 has its markings, weathering next... 🥱



Finally, the Beobachtungs Panther G has its camo, just needs final paint touchups, and possibly weathering, In a bit of a quandry about makings for it, cannot seem to find any of them that carried markings.😖

Gomez 😉🙃

[JED]

Its all looking good to me Gomez

[Dukemaddog]

I wouldn't say it was glacial, you're doing more than I am lately; and it's looking better than mine! Way to go on that camouflage and I love the tracks on the T-34.

[WardWorks]

Sorry about the radio silence, heat and family dramas interfered yet again, no illnesses to scramble things even further this time thankfully...🤯🤬

Nothing further dun on anything, rearranging factory space slightly today, normal service resumes tomorrow - promise ! 😎

Think I might be letting myself in for more punishment, with the way I want to go, (despite my eyes), I'm fairly sure I CAN get away with it, if I can live with the results (that's the bit that'll take some getting used to, the look of the finished results), but as long as I know I've dun the best I can with each completed project and can see the improvement in my long forgotten skills in the finished builds, I'll be happy with the results (I hope !)
Only time will tell on that one 🤔😖

Think I'll give it a longer go than I normally would and try to be open minded about the results of the first couple (as with anything, getting the unused, therefore semi-forgotten, necessary skills back up to speed again will be the hardest part here, don't want to allow frustration to creep in, (as it could well do -patience is not one of my virtues unfortunately), if the first results are not up to my usual, I'll need to remember that its been quite a while since I used most of those skills in anger, so I cannot be cussing etc; at not getting things right in that particular aspect of the builds straight away... Its way too easy to hurl things at the wall when something most people said I used to be rather good at goes haywire because I haven't used the necessary skills in anger (or at all, in many cases), for quite some time (more than quite a few years) 🤔

All will be revealed in the coming week or two, gotta get a few bits n bobs (not to mention an appropriate kit or two... errr😖 three or four (quite possibly more, knowing me and my enthusiasm / Mojo (when that bites, it bites HARD 😳)

Better stop now, before this rivals St Paul's to the Corinthians... 🤫

Regards
Gomez (NOT for changing this time, well not until I've given what I'm thinking of a blimmin' good go !) 😈😉🙃

[JCON]

Anticipation...

[Dukemaddog]

This sounds most intriguing, I am looking forward to seeing how things go. You've forgotten more than I've ever learned so I look to learn a lot from you once again.

[Robbo]

Three nice builds mate
