Thanks Chris, i do get carried away when it's paint time, on this build you have to do the inside and outside, it's all so visible, regards simon.

Hi All, Both sets of wheels are painted, just the centre's to work on, painted the grill to get some idea of scheme and look, plus made a start on the floor, this last building session has been about colour's and where to start, seasons greeting's to all the Armortek builder's, best wishes simon.

Simon you have an excellent eye for colour, what works, and so your weathering looks very convincing indeed!

Regards Phil

season's greeting's Dave and Phil, Painting alway's put's the icing on the cake, i Have been working on the Matata Drive Sprocket's, adding the round foot step was a little awkward, not sure if this was a fitted out in the field mod on the real vehicle, or a standard production fitment, finding the correct checker plate pattern is near impossible, all for now regards simon.

You are the master of making the brand new look old and worn. Superb!

Thank you fellow builder's, The Positive Feedback is appreciated, The Wheels and centre caps are finally fitted on this side, i reshaped the caps and added the grease nipple's to as close i could make them using the kit part's, it's always a balancing act between R.C. and Shelf queen, i will add a bit more weathering to the wheels once on the home strait, now around to the other side, all the best simon.

your coloring is very nice

Thank's Men for your input, i Have finished fitting the tool's to the center section of seat's and applied some weathering to those hard to reach area's before they are permanently fitted, Painting the model in components make's it easier than doing it afterwards on this vehicle, all for now, regards simon.

A slight diversion on to the front wheels, to keep away from the main body and have a bit more thinking time on how to over come the next phase of fitting motion packs and front floors, regards simon.

Hi Simon

Front wheels look great ....hopefully I have a set coming at some point.

Cheers
