I totally meant to get this posted yesterday but one of the cats got sick so my wife and I spent a good portion of the evening at the vets office.

My weeks progress was not as solid as I was hoping for but I'm still in a good place making solid progress. I started the week with final details and a bit of scribing to the turret. The scribing was to make room for a weld seam I plan to add a little later this week, along with detail welds around certain details so they don't look like they are just glued to the surface. I finished adding a few wires for the smoke dischargers and touched up the texture a little bit.

While I waited for a few things to dry and cure on the turret, I moved along to the hull. There are a few sink marks in places that needed filled and sanded out. I also have the underside finished but failed to take pictures of that one over the weekend.

Hope you all are having a great week at the bench, look forward to seeing more work from you all!

I feel like I'm a little late to the show, but made a great start this weekend. On the bench is the Nut Cracker from Hassegawa. We start out with the turret, had a few seams to fill in and sand down. Built up a little bit of texture, which also helps bury what remains of any seam lines. I worked with the smoke dischargers a little bit, adding wires and some smoke grenades to a few of them. I also added armored covers where the cabling for the dischargers would enter the turret. In all a great weekend at the bench. I'll keep plugging away at the turret this week and update as I go.

Apologies for the photos being kind of out of order, I'll get it right next time!

Happy modeling!
