Many thanks, Neuling. Not many parts to this kit, but I was hooked by this very unusual vehicle. Four very detailed machine guns are all but hidden inside.

Welcome, Simon. Considering that the tracks and bogeys are moulded as a single piece, I think that they look good, with lots of details.

Bruce, I wish you a good time building more models with rigging!
I build 1:48 scale models. I use 0.14 mm fishing line for the rigging. This is another way to make rigging on a model, but this method is more suitable for larger scales (1:48, 1:32 ...)
For inspiration I send a link to one of my models with rigging: Roland D.VIb Czech Air Force | Album by KLuK (1:48)
(If you are interested you can find more models with rigging in my profile. )

Wow! Inspiring work for sure, Ludvik! I believe that Eduard have PE for cable fittings, for use with rigging at 1:72. I'm not sure if would I dare try that, as I have enough trouble threading a needle!! I will definitely be adding rigging to several more of my biplane models. The Anatras Anasal is waiting patiently (gathering dust, like the one in the Prague Technology Museum).

As long as you learn or try something new on each next model you build, that is what counts. Then, you will find the "winning" formula and stick with it for a whilr, then learn something new and so on. We all have our own styles. For me the youtube videos online an AK FAQ book for aircraft helped a lot to clarify certain steps and processes.

Many thanks, Marcin. I'm using acrylics now for all new models, and for weathering older ones. Flat brushes for flat surfaces, and round for small details, and either paint type will give good results 👍

Hi Bruce, like what you've done so far, but might I suggest a bit of surgery on the Bren - if you remove the grip, it might match up better with the soldier's gun hand. Unfortunately, you may need to remove the fellows left arm in order to reposition it to support the gun 🙁
As for floating items, I usually move things around a bit until things "fit" on the ground a bit better - static grass is much stiffer than you think so you may need to clear some out for the box 🙂
