Small and big projects!

A day of sheltering from the continued rain and what better place then the Man Cave! Of course I had already done some jobs on Mrs. Woody's never ending list just in case she is reading this! 

I took the opportunity to finish off a few small projects and then commence a large one!

Small projects were related to my 00 gauge layout and consisted of painting the cross beam on the buffer stop and then weathering it and the lamp hut and accessories. My usual washes of dilute black and brown were applied which gives that well worn look.

Once dry the washes had done there job well.

 Once on the layout these small items stood out in a good way! There is something very satisfying in building these small kits.

Big project time is the other amphibious tank to go on the other side of the Panzer Ferry.

Initial work is the tedious making of all the wheels and suspension components. It has to be done but progress looks slow!

However having the hull out I took the opportunity to pose it with the almost complete other tank and pontoon.

When finished it is going to be a big model - especially if I pose a suitable vehicle on the pontoon!
