Karl, I've always needed more than one going at a time. It's possible a side effect of what I did for a living for so long, which was being an automotive tech, then fabricator, still automotive but more in the competition end of things, the last ten years of which were in my own business, so I had to have more than one job going as I couldn't afford to be held up on anything, for whatever reason. In modeling, I find that if I get to a "hump" on a particular model and don't feel comfortable at that particular step, I can pick up something else and still get maximum benefit from the limited modeling time I have.
Pawel take a look at the turret in the following pics: I'm copying another build (top of post) and am moderately unsure of the accuracy of the script. It's supposed to say: "Avenger". Keep in mind I painted it freehand, so any errors in the actual Cryllic letters are mine.
Speaking of knowing vets, my recently passed neighbor was in tanks in WWII, but wouldn't talk about it at all.
So, current pics from work done last night: Turret washed, name and numbers on, more mud to get a layered effect and a brown wash on the hull, tracks and wheels. Also added is mud on the outer wheels. No pigments yet, still adding the heavy stuff.
ACW, as always, and thanks for looking!
