Well, after a month's inactivity on this project, I've finally managed to apply the basic camoflage colours. After much deliberation I decided to invest in a cheap (and I do mean cheap) Taiwan airbrush and compressor, all for the equivalent of £30 of your English pounds! I don't think it's exactly state of the art, but it will do for now. So I first sprayed the sandy colour. I masked off the areas to be in this colour using a tip from this lovely website, namely, applying the masking tape to the model,and drew a line in pencil where the border should be. Then, carefully removing the tape and putting it lightly on the cutting board, I cut along the pencil line, and then reapplied the tape to the model. This took a long time! Then I sprayed the olive green colour. With great excitement I removed the masking tape, and, hey presto, here's the result.

. All things considered, including that this is the first time I've attempted any sort of camoflage scheme, I'm quite pleased. There's still a lot to do, but having overcome this hurdle, it should be ready for the deadline in a month's time. Sorry about the long shadows in the pictures, the sun starts to go down early here, but, it's better than yesterday, when we had our first snow of the winter! Next, I think, I'll tackle the tracks. Thanks for looking.
