well how about a second part of an update. got to looking and had some bits to tidy up. so went through and built a frame of sorts for the sidewalls and the nose. also added just a few longer pieces to show the bolts in the tranny. also added the seats and the driving yokes.    how she looks all together.  i also have a radio to add just a few bits to.  thinking that it is time to get some color on this. comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

What you are expressing here is the story of my life but I just don't let it get me down as my wife loves everyone I do and always wants to see more so that is all that really matters in the end. Keep on with the good work.

bones i love the initial look/reaction i recieve when i do something like this. a roll of the eyes and the expression "really joe?".
always good. my wife is huge in terms of support for me. she always takes the time to look and always allows me the time to build. i can think of several times i felt like just shelving my projects and cleaning out the tools and kits. she calms me down and gives me the encouragement to continue.

Joe my way of thinking while building is what i'm learning to improve on the next one. It's all practice from one to the next.  Stay at it Tony lee |

tojo thanks. i find it very interesting for sure.
bookmarked by gary. god now i really have to step up my game.
thankya buddy. glad to have you following along.
now tony that be the truth. and to be honest that little fact didnt stick with me until i began really going with detail making.
prof you are very kind sir. thank you.
chris you are very kind. it does add that little "i did this one" aspect to the build for sure.
dicky you are right on one part. you really have to feel this stuff. where you make this look so easy i stumble through. my better half will even sit with me now and again. that is until i start to cuss and get irritated by the pieces not fitting the way i think they should.

and then mocked up with construction on the exterior almost finished.      so moving right along. still have a couple of things that are not attached to the exterior but thinking they wont be attached until after paint. also haven't gotten the mg's mounted. going to paint them up and such before attaching them. so again, comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

well after quite a dry spell i have some things to report. first up was the painting. i started out with flat black for shadows. i then sprayed od. trying to keep the panels in place. i then went with a od/flat white mix to gain some panel fading. i then went over the lines again with od/flat black.   up next was the rare decals that can be seen in the photo.   not happy with the pics. they dont do the color justice. i have also coated it with future. next up is a coat of future to prep for some weathering and such. comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

well here i am yet again. way too long between updates. i spent a little time working on some subtle weathering. in the pic the armor looks pretty pristine other than some streaking. so with that in mind.      i used oils and several different shades. would tell you what they were but to be honest i didnt pay much attention to the name just the shade. not entirely displeased with it. looks better in person. only the second time i have tried to use oils for streaking and first time it came out looking somewhat like streaks. comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. joe |

Nice to see this one moving again Joe, all those rivet bolts cry out for weathering and you're giving it what it needs! |
