Looking absolutely brilliant now mate, especially considering the early set backs. The stand out items for me are the exhaust and DPM on the figures, superb, absolutely superb.

Dan,

You've built another absolutely first class model, here.
All that DPM looks amazing!
That is a lot of paint work!
Good luck with the rest of the build.

Joe.

Thanks guys, I've been just finishing off the tracks so not much of an update
But the track nuts are quite time consuming at the moment.
Hopefully pictures later when I have something to show.

Track burnishing time,

first time trying this stuff and I'm impressed.



Much better than some of the other fluids that I have tried, this picture was taken within seconds of dipping the tracks into the solution.



After a few minutes



A quick check to see what effect has taken place, 6 minutes in.



And the final product, still wet from washing with water.



8 minutes in total and I'm impressed with the results.







Cheers

Dan

Another Helmet and a set of jetpacks added to the stowage.













Working on a figure for the diorama, will post up some pictures of what has been done so far later.

Enjoy the weekend
