Hi Lukasz, nice to hear from you. I'm trying to get daily updates. Yesterday I forgot to upload the pics so I did it this morning. Hope everything is alright in your area, in times where grown up 50+ people play mightgames at the cost of peoples lifes.

Luckily I'm not so close (the local ones play only with our wallets so far), hence I can follow your build 🙂

Ralf Topeters
Same here with the wallets! 😉 You're right lucky us to still do what we always do.

Nice new workspace Ralf. I'm in of course. I'm hoping to find one of these soon at a sensible price. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

Welcome Neil, it is the project with the most headwork until now for me. Very challenging but interesting!

Never thought of using the plastic Dremel brush to remove the pin marks, thx! 👍

Ralf Topeters
Normally I would use the blade, but under the circumstance that i paint on the sprue I was afraid I'd break out the parts. That's the reason for the plastic brush. Took some funny experiments to find out how. 😉

Hate it when work gets in the way. It's killing my modeling time right now.

You say it Kyle. I'm restructuring my complete daily time plan to shovel free some spare time for the hobby. Wish you all the time in the world and everybody else too of course! 👍

I'm interested in this build. I saw Monty's caravans at Duxford last month.
Nice work with painting the figures.

I agree with Robin. Super job on the foliage Ralf.

Thanks guys. I so much appreciate your comments. After the vehicle parts got some washing now they will get drypainted and then just build them together. Maybe at the end of the week or at the start of the next I could be ready.

Good to see some new progress🙂

Ralf Topeters
Thanks Simon. I had some rough days with a lot of work and little to no time for modelling. So I used the weekend to get some progress.

Thanks mates. That is Vallejo's new and aged wood effects set. With really great instructions!

Great woodwork Ralf. Shame to cover it all up inside - maybe you can leave the roof unglued?
17 July 2022, 08:03
Ralf Topeters
I really think about the retractable roof and I have some ideas but it will get complicated if possible because of the sunshield on the backside.

Frank Spahr
Most impressive! The wood effect looks most convincing, and the base will be a real gem with your additions!

I love your workspace! The death of your chair was sad. Love your work! I am learning a lot by watching your techniques. Thank you for documenting them.
