Nicely done... It looks great... BTW, what size grit is that??

 

[Jaitea]

Thanks very much guys for the comments

Cargoman, its p80 grit

...some more updates:

I think thats the sandpapering done.....did the turret today:



I scored a bit of texture onto the canvas covers on the baskets,....probably not accurate,....but they looked too plain








.....thats it at the minute.....perhaps a base coat?

[Jaitea]

Thanks very much for the comments guys

It's been hectic at work,....again,....& it'll heat up again next week,......interfering with my interests ???

....so after recovering from the last bout of overtime & late nights,...I eventually got back to the Merk

Still wheels, track,...sideskirts & chains & things to do,.....but I got some paint on her:







.....oh,...& still to build the mine wheels

Thanks for looking
