Before I call it a night I thought I'd post a few pics of the rust factory. First the T-62 in a base rust coat. And the Panther turret with the same. Now an overall shot of what on the bench. Mind you, I still have other models in the build and painting stages......in various areas of the room. Got to space them or the missus will give the eye and say, have enough started.. ;D ;D ;D You can make out the Tamiya greens and yellows that will be used for the T-62 in the next couple days.

The various tubs and bins are used to store the wheels, and the various sets of tracks I'm also working on.

The Pershing hull will be getting a base green sometime soon along with the T-62. Once I have the Sherman I will push all these to the side and just work on the sherman.

Thanks guys. yeah there are quite a few AK bottles in the rack eh. I have all the CM sets stored elsewhere. I don't get them all for free, but yeah most are. They are sent in for review and I do a lot of the testing to catch any probs there may be. They have made weathering easier and quicker for me, and that's a good thing or else I would never finish a model...LOL
Got a couple of little thing to do on the Sherman mk II and the tracks, then the paint shop.

LOL, thanks Nate. Slow time of year right now and have to get what little time at the bench when I can. I don't go in the hobby room unless I know I can spend quality time at the bench.

Spud, just for you I managed to sneak some benchtime in.....at a very clean bench and hobby room I might add....LOL
I've done a bit on the Sherman and will try to get the tool clamps etc done as well. Then she will be ready for primer. Will get some pics up later.
Was thinking of banging out my M4A1 Sherman and doing her very dusty but might not have time for it. Will be next on the list.

Quick update. For the Sherman I figure it was knocked out and to be recovered...which never happened so it was left in the desert. I would normally leave all tools off but figuring the crew intended on recovering the tank, they left the tools on and buttoned the hatches to keep the dust out. makes sense and what I would do. She was hit by the mighty 88. Still need to add the tie downs and straps for the tools.
