It's gonna be tough to build tanks if we have to take away the sharp and pointy things Mr. Rat. Please be careful.

And I can't imagine a situation that'd be such a rush to get into a tin of corned beef. But maybe that's a story for another time.

A bit of blood on the corned beef for some meat taste!

Who am I kidding? Canned corned beef, fresh bread, lots of butter and mustard--food of the fishing gods, and me fishing!

Nobody else to blame but myself. To idle to walk across the kitchen to get the tin opener. More haste, less speed, or something like that.

Has to be tomato sauce for me. This was for corn beef, cheese, and potato pie.

Couple of days behind with writing this up. The lower hull is slowly coming to completion. Tow cables painted and weathered, tools installed.

Why put blood on corned beef when you could have Haggis?

I like your choice of the olive green instead of the traditionally suggested TS-2 dark green for the Tammy spray bombs. How did you do the camo? Did you mask it any specific way? Spray it a specific way or distance? It has a very cool field painted look. Keep it going sir.

Very droll.

I just tried to match the paint to the book I am using. Sprayed over with dark yellow. Then masked off the yellow, using masking tape and blue tac, made into sausages, to give a soft edge and sprayed on the green. Masked off the yellow and green, in the same way, and sprayed the brown.

Yes I've also found the TS-1 Red Brown and TS-2 Dark Green spray bombs that Tamiya recommends never look right. On my hard edge tricolor German tanks I use TS-3, either TS-28 Olive Drab or TS-78 Field Grey for the green and TS-62 Nato Brown for the red

Took the Tiger outside between showers. Used MIG neutral brown as a wash, to tone down the rather bright colours. I mixed up some Citadel Nuln oil, with a little Tamiya gun metal, and flat black for the oil stains around the hub. A British crew, and stencils have been ordered, and the exhaust covers need painting and weathering. The jack is probably a bit to far out and needs weathering as well. It will be given a second wash, with grey.

Looks really good. That wash really blended the colours well
