Hi Marcos,
Wonderful job on painting and weathering of your Humber! I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished
It probably has no use to you now but I placed rear bulkhead between the ribs in the hull tub without any problems, it was tight fit, but looks ok, as in the photos :



Cheers
Greg

Thanks for the tip, Greg

I think my hull was deformed, because it was difficult to align the upper-hull, in the glue step....

Hi Marcus,

Great build and an excellent finished kit. Looks the business although I wonder what Michael Caine is doing as the commander

"Not a lot of people know that"

Excellent stuff.

......I wonder what Michael Caine is doing as the commander?



@ ALAN - LOL at that one. Here's a good line from A Bridge to Far....

Quoted Text

(said by Edward Fox's character to Michael Caine's character - Gen. Horrocks to Lt. Col Vandeleur)
"I've selected you to lead us, not only because of your extraordinary fighting ability, but also because, in the unlikely event the Germans ever get you, they will assume from your attire that they've captured a wretched peasant and immediately send you on your way."



One of my fav lines from the movie.

That is a lovely build! I'm going to have to pick one of these up! What colour did you use for the green as it looks bang on?

Hi Marcos,

Great set of builds all round there. Like you Skink, very unusual. This will be a grand reference when ever I open the box.

Bob,

I remember that line well

Cheers

Allan, thanks ...
Good luck with your Humber...itīs a nice project...

Karl...
I use automotive enamels...Theīre cheap and resistant...Ideal for the blend technique with oils...


I order these enamels in paint stores. I take a sample of Humbrol, Tamiya, Polly, etc and the computers make the rest...

It is super-practical!!! Cheap, dry fast and beautifful.

Regards
