The photo showing the jack block, fire extinguisher and the turret spun around--so many great textures on the cast pieces, screens, zimm, armour edges, fasteners, etc.
The more you look, the more you see. Superb!

The jack block details are superb. Time to go back over the winter and try to emulate what you have done on my KTs

Good Morning,
Thank you very much, everyone. If I accomplish anything it is because I have learned from watching Masters at work here on the Forum. I was out and about yesterday and will be today as well. The Bread Winning Spouse has recording to do for an upcoming project so I am going to take my Jeep and drive out today. Maybe stop into town and see about new wiper blades, pick up some Pizza for Dinner, or summat. I should be back at my counter tomorrow. I follow work that you all have done, for good reasons. ;0) Herman! I know from your Builds that you do not give up on much of anything, Sir. ;0)
regards,
Painless

Good Evening!
Had a couple of hours over the last two days to revisit some details that I was not happy with the first time around. I reworked the Jack mount hardware, the Reflector surround, the Jack block and added a clamp to the bar mounted by the r. Fuel line. Some paint touchup today leaves only a pin wash and some flats to see this one awaiting crew.
regards,
Painless

Always love your updates. Those supplemental screens are excellent. Better than the PE ones I've used. I always forget to paint the reflector.

One observation though, the 321 aren't blending into the zimmerit. I had the same issue before when using waterslides. I used a combination of Micro Sol and multiple applications of Micro Set to get mine within reason. In the end though for turret numbers I ended up using stencils and airbrush. Not an easier task but look infinitely better.

Such great work

Mr. Chef!
Thank you for looking in again! The German Crosses are from Stencils. If I cannot get this older Decal to work for the single 321, I will trace it using the decal and hand paint it in. There are also a couple of duplicate pics in this line up. My Apologies. Camera App restarted leading to the error. For fun, Luna, peering out from under her Pillow is from this morning. It has been very cold up here of late.
regards,
Painless

P.S. The best Photo is of the Back Plate showing all of the finished work there.

Looking back through the photos, Painless, in addition to the exhausts as I mentioned earlier, I admire the small brass mounts for the jack, tools, etc., the screening, and the working convoy light.

Good Morning Gentlemen!
Thank you, Alan! She lives for Comfort and Snacks ( Kinda like us, yes? ) Herr Dr. Professor, thank you for rolling through the latest pics. I was going to delay weathering ( Pinwash and Road Travel effects ) until I had the other KT finished and had painted the crews for both. I think upon giving it some thought that bringing this KT to a state of completion then tackling the next is my best bet. Crews can be done at the same time but weathering on two completely different paint jobs might be asking a bit much of my limited skills.
regards,
Painless
