Great start prior to the paintwork, Mark @markh

It might be boring, Mark @markh, but the result is great.
Nice paintwork.

Thanks gents

I was unable to create an eye pleasing arrangement between the buzzard wagon and the tank so I went back to the shelf and rescued the kit shown below, which I think will blend much better. I'll do the tank and the motorcycle on another base. This ICM kit is very spindly and delicate with many tiny parts, featuring fit that's not over good in places. It does seem like it'll build up well with care, however.

Nice kit, my friend @markh!
Will look great upon finished!

Great progress, Mark @markh

Thanks gents

Some more fumbling about has seen the start of the figures and the completion of the truck and nag. I ended up having to open the driver's door as it did not fit well in it's hole and the steering column/wheel assembly fell out of the cab when handling the model. It was fun getting it back in there I'll tell ya. I now can claim victory over the evil little thing.

The nag was sprayed with Vallejo RLM dark brown, then sprayed with very thin Tammy XF-1 flat black in several layers at high pressure. I have no idea of what kind of horse this is supposed to be it's a copy of something I saw and thought was cool when I googled "horse pictures". Funny thing that, I've been around farm animals all my life and still have to get a painting guide when I do something like this
