Thanks for the support, guys! :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza:

Kerick is right, Doc, it's the radar display. :smiley:

The curtain is an odd call, it's just the curtain as moulded into the part, all I did was mask it off & paint it SMS Premium Olive Drab SCC No. 15, but, I must admit, I'm pretty happy with it, the colour looks like rubberised canvas, to me.

For me, it's all the little details that are even more impressive than the overall excellence of these builds.  Bravo Zulu!

As LJ says and in 1/35 scale - you must have a steady hand and much better eye-sight than I do.  Or do you have a specially trained ninja hamster to do the tricky stuff for you?  ;D

I'm not sure hamsters are legal in Australia, I don't recall ever having seen any.

So, no. No specially trained ninja hamsters.

Just my bespectacled eyes, a decent illuminated magnifier & fairly steady hands*.

No, it's illegal to have pet hamsters and gerbils in Australia.

Pythons and pet monkeys should have been illegal in Florida. Now it’s too late as they have infested the Everglades.

Don't you dare insult the 'Loyal Patriotic Voters'TM of the 'Great State of Florida' like that . . .   >:D ;D

On the other hand, somebody dumped an alligator in a pond in a park in Chicago. They had to call a gator catcher from Florida to capture the thing. The media named it Chance the Snapper after Chance the rapper. Also some idiot dumped a gator in a stream in Hawaii while I was stationed there. It got caught in a wire fence across the stream and died or there could have been an environmental disaster. If people want to keep an exotic animal they should bother to learn how releasing it can damage the regional environment.

How’s the pibbers coming along?

All good, mate! Moving along slowly (now I'm back home, after a few days away, being Grandpa) but surely.

Working on getting the turrets together, getting a few small-arms painted up & a few other odds-&-sods.

All the fiddly bits do take more time than expected.
