Tony, I posted over on my place ...so here it is again. I love the way it looks with those colors on. Is that just primer or will it stay that color ?

Howdy All
That's 31 rounds of ammo painted and loaded in the racks.
Sure would have been easier to do all that before I put those racks inside there. :
Now I can paint the backside of the mufflers and the side panel then the side panel can be installed.
The corner gussets are ready to put in when that right side panel is on too.
Moving ahead slowly but moving. ;D

Very cool build so far! Are the rounds kit-supplied, aftermarket, or scratch?

The shells are in the kit Drummer.
Noname: I used .010, .015, .020 plastic rod stock and Tamiya Extra Thin cement.
Glue the rod down,let it dry then apply a coat of cement over the top until it softens the rod.
When soft enough to work take a #11 knife that the point it broken off and jab at the rod like you have a nervous condition. The rod will flatten out and look like a weld bead.
I used a small half moon engraving tool i've had for years.
I just use the old eyeball and common sense to determine what rod size to use. The heaver the weld the larger the rod but also remember you're going to flatten the rod and the width will get wider.

Howdy on a rainy day
Since there's nothing on TV and the wife is working on a puzzle I just retreated to the model bench.
I made up a tow cable and a retaining clamp for the exhaust pipe from scrape PE sprue.
Just in case the rear hatch didn't show up I got out my chopper and made a door. I used my gun stock checkering tools to simulate the grooves in the padding.
That's it for today boys and girls ;D
