Thank you kind sir, it's not the word I would have used, they look better in black & white , my building stills OK but the hairy stick work is starting to get away from me,never been that good anyway, just hope I can build & finish the next three I want to do, Sherman wading tanks there's more or less four made this being one, I thought about not painting at all just primer?
Pete :cheers2:
