Couldn't resist taking her out for a quick spin around the garden. I had to cut it short (Parden the pun) but it was churning up the grass and I didn't want to upset the missus. Next time I'll take it to the local park for a really good run.
I've now painted the spare track links, tools, cleaning rods, antenna and Tim Bowman's Muzzle Brake. I've also given her a quick coat of TS3 which I really like. Next will be the tracks, wheels and camo.

You'll have the park wardens baying for blood mate, :D

That is really going to churn up the turf ;) A mate of mine built an armourtek tiger and decided to try it out in his living room !!!

One replacement carpet later and a very angry wife :D Looks beautiful

Thanks for the comments guys.

A short video showing the gun elevation & rotation on my Marder III with wheel movement on the elevation too.

Started on weathering a few of the items not currently installed in the Marder. First off where the ammo storage tubes and a few of the tools:

First time I've tried the "Sponge" technique. Might have overdone it, what do you think?

Thanks Antony
