Well I think it does

I often wondered about the fingers of a person who does such work, they must be either small and slender or thick and short - sometimes people with really thick fingers seem to be incredibly nimble with them My fingers seem to be medium size ...

Many thank's gentlemen

the finish work on the car fleet has been more time consumer than planned (lot of adjustments)
to begin the tractions



the interior is present because very visible through the panes
then the military U23



the interior is also present and more advanced on the one that have the open door (handbrake, gearstick)
and to finish the civil U23
minimum interior because what going to distinguish ,it will be loading.
indeed the flatbed truck with side panel will have a loading sacks (flour), but the flatbed truck it will ......chicken cages



I hesitate to use the Marijn method for "fatten" my chickens.....

go to the painting workshop!!
see you soon for the next progress
cheers
Nicolas

Still uniformly great work on this.

Enjoy Telford.

Your attention to detail is just amazing.

Fantastic work Nicolas!

Unfortunately I again won't be able to make it to Telford this year. Pity, it would have been great to meet you in the flesh!
Have a great show!



With superglue and baking powder! This doesn't shrink while drying, and dries very fast so it is easy and quick to apply multiple layers.

First put a small drop of liquid type CA on one side of the body. Then dip this in a small pile of sodium bicarbonate based baking powder. This will cure the CA instantly and keep it's volume. If not thick enough, apply some more CA and dip in the baking powder again.
Then turn around, and do the same for the other side of the body.
Then repeat for one side of the head, and after that for the other side of the head.
Brush or scrape of any excess baking powder, and it's ready for painting!

Doing 12 birds like this should really not take much time at all.

Cheers,

Marijn

Absolutely amazing work as always Nicolas.

All vehicles received a dust coat for integrate with the ground



Now I go back to more maritime things. in first , the rangefinders optics receive a light grey wash for bring out détails



The first rangefinder to receive them is that of the 152 turrets

Is 171 the exact number you require? If so, then I know what will happen Also, great detail to add!

Fast-fast - back to the kitchen and back to work! You are still 17 short!

But as usual: IM! PE! CA! BLE!
