I think the rear resin piece needs more supports?

100%. There’s some other issues with the model which didn’t help.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one. This is truly awesome to watch come together.

Thanks. It’s been a journey!

 

Finished the paint proof of concept for the turret. 
 

 

 

I’m happy enough with the results of the clear resin print. Gives the impression of the somewhat dodgy episcopes without requiring a full turret interior. 
 

Thanks for looking in.

Thanks, Jose. 

 

Did a size check of the 31 stencil on the ramp. 
 

 

It’s about 10% too large, but that’s an easy fix. 
 

Thanks for looking in.

Starting to paint up some test parts to see how they look on the hull. Paints are SMS. 
 

 

Was not uncommon for some parts to be delivered in NATO/CARC green. Even the inner road wheels were left in their delivered colours. 
 

 

Shocky fits well. Will pull these off & finalise for installation. 
 

Thanks for looking in.

Nice work mate. You have me thinking of what an LVPT-7 would be like in 1/16 scale. I have just bought a Photon M3 Max which could handle it.

That’s a biiiig track! I’d like to see a tuna boat in 1/16, though. Please post it.

Have been progressing the paintwork, referring to pics taken in 1999. 
 

 

Thanks for looking in.

Some more painting done. 
 

 

I figured I’d use the CAD model to generate profile drawings so I can sketch out the camouflage pattern specific to my vehicle. 
 

 

The road wheel model isn’t rendering properly, but the drawing will do the job.

 

Thanks for looking in.

That is looking good!

Thanks Ray. 
 

Found a good square on image of the call sign 31 (three one, not thirty one). 
 

Had the opportunity to recheck a 1:1 example on Friday, which lead to this. 
 

 

That ought to be handy. 
 

Some more paint progress. 
 

 

T’other side. 
 

 

Thanks for looking in.
