I'm done on the Bren Carrier itself. I'm still working on the figures and the dio base. I'm just procrastinating because figures aren't my best things. Should finish on time.

Sloooooow progress. My DUKW with a jeep as cargo is grinding along. I can't summon the enthusiasm at the moment, but will try to get it done on time. By the way, what happened to the GB / Commonwealth group build? I can't find any posts.

"Just" have to finish the sand on the beach, some rubbel and stuff and some of the vegetation.

Figures are finished - just need a dull coat.

Hi Dave

I'm plodding on with my Mustang 1a. It's taken a lot more scratchbuilding than I'd expected... I made the mistake of tracking down some pics of the real thing's cockpit!



Since this pic, I've dirtied things up a little and joined the fuselage. The wings are on and I'm re-scribing a few panel lines . Touch wood, I should be finished on time...

All the best

I want to join but I have to wait for the arrival of my Tamiya M4 Early Sherman. Surely, I'll finish it in time.

Let's see... My 101st AB trooper is close to completed. I still need to do some finishing touches on the uniform and finish up painting the flesh tones. Then I have to work on the base. With a month to go I should have no problem completing it on time.

OK. Last night I declared the M4 Early officially complete. I just need to decide if I want to create a dio around it.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I'm a bit behind with my Typhoon, but should be able to catch up this weekend. I will have completed the cockpit tomorrow and then it won't take long to get the fuselage and wings on. It will be tight but I will finish it by the 5th, I'll be taking a week off work for this, amongst other things

I'm 95% complete with the Diorama. Need to do some finishing touches on the paratroopers, and some touch up on the building.

Due to an unfortunate biking accident my completion in time is in danger. Ended up in the ER, and walked away with six stitches to my right elbow and cuts and bruises all over... So, the last thing I'm in the mood for right now is modelling. But I hope that I can start using my arm soon and complete in time.

Yes Sir, Capt. Gaucho showing report about his Project:
I found somewhere a dio with same idea that I had, a Centaur with a British Infantry on patrol together. That coincidence!!
Since the guy did the dio first, I'm abandoning the mission. And as the Centaur was the main subject for the campaign and the time is going so fast, I'll build just the vehicle, that in fact it is already done 99%, just lack the soldiers beret's emblems and the pics. Sorry.
