I just don't want a repeat of what happened before so I'm just building them in bigger slots sorry , l don't think people will learn a lot from me, probably the other way round

Finished the tank and fuel trailer

The fuel trailer I'v open up so you can see the tanks and added a few details to the tank itself

I love a Churchill and this ones looking good Pete.
Those extra rivets, are they just sliced rod or bought parts? Oh, and while I'm being nosey, what gauge wire do you use when making your grab handles?
Keep up the great work mate!

Hi thank you, I make my own using a punch & die set, the only handles I made were for the two water can on the rear which are made from leftover PE sprur cut & bent.

Primer and base coat on

All models are hand painted

Thanks for looking

Really nice Pete. Great subject too. Looks like a big old best with that trailer on the back.

Thank you very much, it's almost 12" long with the trailer hooked up

Hi I'm back got the detail painting done, decals on, tracks painted.

Maybe varnishing by hand in this weather is not such a good idea

As always I apologise for the hand painting

[privatepete]

That's it all finished

As always I apologise for my hand painting




















The antenna I'v painted grey, allied armour would be flat black/grey/green, they only painted them to avoid any reflecting in the field. the paints would be as low as possible in lead content to reduce restriction in broadcast and reception.

All my models are hard painted.

Thank you for looking

I don't know why you apologise for hand painting, why is it a bad thing?

Hi Rob, it not a bad thing at all, if your any good at it, that's why I apologise for mine which believe me I'm not any good at in any shape or form

[Stokesy44]

Really nice Pete. I especially like the way you've opened up the access panels on the trailer. Nice detail.
