Jarndice, a ping is out to Rad on his site for some Red Star stencils! This afternoon saw the several coats of Soviet Green ( medium ) applied to the field piece as well as a little more detailing of the truck. Detailing and more detailing to follow... Pics: ( Click to Enlarge )

That's surely a fine, and beautifully detailed gun, Painless It will make the perfect appendage, or partner even, for the eye-catching truck. I hope the fingerprints have grown back by now, and that you have a full complement of digits. Resin modelling demands a full first-aid kit, and a sizeable swearbox
All the best to the contributing General too...!

Good Morning Gentlemen,
xhelfix, thank you for looking in! More fun to follow. Roy, It is good to hear from you. Hands are all working and itching to detail paint the gun and get a Show-Off thread and video completed. I'll pass along the Greetings to the General.
regards,
Painless

I had time last night to begin work on the detailing paint and weathering on the field piece. A good deal remains but a start is better than nothing. ;o) Pics: (Click to Enlarge )

Super nice paint job! What’s that rope thing with the red end sticking up, a firing lanyard?

[PainlessWolf]

Jimster, Good Evening!
Yes, I built the lanyard out of a shackle end and scale rope and made a handle for it. I had it sticking up out of the way of everything until the paint dried. ;o) It will normally rest down by the recoil rails. Thanks for looking in. More to come.
regards,
Painless

Good afternoon all.
I had time this morning to get out my black rubber paint and take care of the wheels on the field piece. It is a gummy job and requires thinners for small applications ( like scale models ) Works well when applied and will help cushion the wheels when the gun is being towed. Pics: ( Click to Enlarge )

Hi Painless, any chance of a pic of the bottle the paint came in please?
Cheers

Good afternoon,
Wayne! I will do you one better. This is what I used. URL: https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catal ... tte-finish
When doing wheels, I spray some in a disposable cup and thin it down a bit so it flow smoothly from a brush. Adds a great durable and flexible cover for road wheels. ( I used it on the 1/6 Stuart bogie assemblies )
