Morgen

Base painting done on the MAZ-537 and trailer done. Not sure about the T-64 though, whether to leave it green or do a camo. I had base painted it green and started the first camo colour using AK interactive acrylics but they were over 10 years old and ended up causing major issues so I stripped the paint and started again.

Base colour on the T-64 with masking ready for the second colour to be put down. Truck cabin done and ready to move onto base colour for the truck and trailer. Trailer will be relatively easy, but since the truck body will is a rusty mess doing all the rust tones will take a a lot longer but as least no real masking will be involved (unlike the T-64)

Time for some paint... it hasn't been fun, the T-64 was fine but the Russian MAZ tank transporter is an early Trumpeter kit... (not bad per se but needs lots of love, and unclear in parts)

With the T-64BV and Trailer completed it was time to move onto the MAZ-537 Truck section, which is now about half complete.

With construction work on the trailer now complete I've started on the MAZ-537 chassis, I'm also going to try and get at least some primer and maybe even base coat down on the T-64 and trailer during the week

T-64 Ready for primer, I already know there are sections that will need sanding (gun barrel etc) but might as well prime to spot the non obvious ones as well and do iall the sanding at the same time. I hope to get the build portion editing and posted to my youtube during the week and I'll post a link when it's done. Next week starting on the trailer construction (I hope)

After a hand infection last week, not quite operating at 100% thumb movement for the early part of this week but all seems good now. Made sure to get some bench time today so now have the hull section nearly complete with things mostly proceeding to plan, with luck should have the T-64 Fully complete next update

Finally a start on building. I din't know if I'd actually get a post in this week due to an infection in my thumb, but it's cleared up enough that I was able to get some work done this afternoon. Most of the T-64BV's lower half now complete
