Thanks a bunch fellas! Sorry for any delays...weather has not been on my side as of late. Finally broke a bit today, I took advantage. Not wanting to mess around I actually went straight for the rattle this time. Laid down a prime on everything.     Things have been broken back down for some drying time and then on to the interior painting. At least a little forward progress! Thanks for tuning in!! |

Looks good in primer T. Good to hear you got at least that done. I might give it a go with primer on the Thor.
Look forward to seeing paint on the interior of the BiMP

Rob - Thanks!! Been dryer here so paint has been flying. Trying to get it in when I can!!! I have some extra cans of primer if you need them for THOR!!! Big Boy there!! It might take the both of us!! LOL!!! Dan - Thank you sir! I was too happy to start spraying something!!!  Dicky - I hear you there...AB cleaning bite the big one sometimes!! I have a cheap sonic cleaner, doesn't work bad at all but looking into a better model. Adam has one and swears by it. Only set him back $25 or so...worth it! I always had several cans of primer hanging around! Depending on the mood or if things need to move along they are the best...shoot and done! Steve - Thanks!! I agree...thing move wicked fast around here!! LOL!! I stopped trying to keep up. Joe - Thank you!!! LOL...I have no set pattern nor allegiance to any primers as long as they work! Vallejo when the mood strikes, I really like the new AK primers as they are not "rubbery" like Vallejo, Rattle cans, Alclad...heck, any shade of Tamiya works in a pinch!! Bill - Thanks! Can't wait myself!! LOL!! I really want to be on the outside of this one, but first thing first!! LOL!! Here is a little update!!! Taking advantage of the dry weather I hit the booth!  With any luck, the doors will look OK open and some of this might stand out.  I have some base coats on the seats, turret parts and misc. parts as well! Starting some of the assembly right now and then onto detail painting of others!! As always, thanks for stopping by!!! |

This is a beautiful kit T. I don't build postwar stuff but I know this one's very popular, you're on the roll making it even more popular.

Thanks fellas! More than half the interior really can't be seen without a "penlight" but it's fun getting it together just the same! I will try and get a couple pics up a little late after some painting!! |

I will try and get a couple pics up a little late after some painting!! You do know that Gary does secret runs at night in the Stealth Kiltutu with penlight in hand, right? Glad the weather's cooperating and you're getting in some paintwork on this one T! |

Thanks Bill!! For the kind words and that mental picture of Gary running around in the Kiltutu...went real well with my coffee!!  Slowly getting back on track here. Although the weather has been nice, mostly hand painting has been going on here. Not a lot but it's something.  A few touch ups are in order and straightening up the Capt.'s chair...  I will toss down a wash or two to tone things down...still though, nothing will be see really...why we do the things we do!!  Again, mocking things up along the way. I did manage to install the barrels though.  Some things will be seen once the hatches are on and left open.  This is where she stands. I have installed some remaining interior turret parts and will paint up the interior vision blocks a little later on and this thing just might make it to the button-up stage!!  Thanks for stopping by for a peek!! |

Looking good bro. The weather was pretty good the past two days, but now it's hot and humid again. Not too bad for brush work like washes etc.
We need to hook up bro....AAA maybe.
