shark64 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 Pete, to be honest I am a bit apprehensive about painting it since I have never done any armor painting. Definetly outside my comfort zone for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Oliver I needed to step back, sit back and take a good long look and appreciate all the incredible work and details you keep adding. I just have no idea how you not only determine what they are but engineer how to make them. Superior skills and talent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 I wasn't planning to mess with the winch in the back but I could not putty the seams correctly and after reviewing photos the kits part was a bit off for me. Made some corrections. Also added the front winch (still in progress) IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV IMG_4916.MOV since the kits part doesn't work for me and needed imprivement. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
