Hey Elm, glad you're a fan of the primer too.  I love the darn stuff now... it'll grip anything !  If it's not working so great out the airbrush then a thin smear with a brush will get just enough down for the next coat to grip hard.  I'm a total convert!

On to the updates...

well I've been away on business this last couple of days and I've also left the camera on... managed to get a couple of shots but man they SUCK !  I have really lost the knack of taking decent modelling shots. 

I have asked for advice from a professional who's really helped me out, I just need to get some new lights.  In the meantime guys you're stuck with my crap pics....

the stag is all but finished but I have a lot of work to do on the base and also I have to paint her crew.

I don't know if I'll get all that done... but the important thing is 99% complete and that's the vehicle itself.

thanks for all the interest guys

speak to you soon

Jon
