The conservatory rebuild is finally coming on with the builders making steady progress. Today saw the block work for the pillars erected and the stone for the floor slab compacted in place and the damp proof membrane in place ready for the delivery of concrete tomorrow morning.
It has been a long day and being a good host I am spending a great deal of time feeding and watering the builders! However, I did manage a bit of work on the Tamiya Sd.Kfz 234/2 Puma. There is a bit of an interior with the dual driving position that enabled these vehicles to be driven from either end. A nice feature and no doubt the crew could get themselves out of trouble just as quick as they got into it! The strange steering wheel angle must have needed some skill to operate though. I have left the seats out at the moment so they are easier to paint and can be glued into position once the rest of the interior is also painted.
I have also started building parts of the upper hull but need to wait until the interior is painted before joining the upper with the lower hull. In amongst the parts are six jerry cans which need the dreaded etched brass parts to fasten them to their carriers. I am not lookig forward to that!
The turret is coming on and the two parts of the gun barrel have been glued together ready to go into the turret. Have to see how much catering I need to do tomorrow and what time that leaves me to finish the turret.
