Over the weekend I have finished the Matchbox Morris Tractor and 17 Pounder gun. Added to the other one I have gives me an understrength Battery. Above the Battery with the other 17 Pounder in the background, along with the Command stand and Jeep.
Looking a little lonely, the Morris Tractor complete.
Simple Olive Drab, dry brushed with mud and decals attached, then a lighter colour to give contrast to the tarp. I tried to fix the lockers under the rear deck, but managed to break one of the wheels, so after fixing it I gave up on the idea.
The 17 Pounder was straight forward enough, the same Olive Drab and mud along with the spare decals from the other Matchbox set I actually built.
Low slung looking gun isn't it. Nasty surprise for Jerry!
As part of the deal with myself I also reorganized one of my storage boxes. This one is my British RA file box. 2, 6, 17 and 25 Pounders, along with 4.5 or 5.5 inch Guns and Transport. Achilles SP Gun Battery as well.
With luck the Airfix Sherman should be finished tonight as well.
Great progress there Paul, I'll look forward to seeing them later in the week
ReplyDeleteAggghhhh!!!! I just put them away! So much for trying to tidy up.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate.
Again, one blinks and lo and behold you've produced another gem!
ReplyDeleteGood work,
Nick
Thanks Nick, I must admit that I spent probably 50 minutes in total to finish these off.
ReplyDeleteDrying time of course not included.
Regards Paul
An impressive addition to your British AT capability!
ReplyDeleteTim, I have doubled my capability and it feels good to get these off the bench.
ReplyDeleteThey scrub up well mate.I would pick up a few more if I were you,they seem to be getting few and far between.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rich.
Nice little ambush for a Tiger ;)
ReplyDeleteThe HVAP round from the 17pdrs were usually enough to dissuade German armour from getting too nosey
God you're quick mate! :-)
ReplyDeleteT.
If only Rich, very pricey down under mate. I am always keeping my eye out for another set.
ReplyDeleteGeordie, reason enough to add them to the TOE.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate
Thanks Thanos, that's what the wife says as well!!
