M113 work in progress

Since it is taking so long to make any progress on my M113's I thought I'd share some WIP photos.

 I have found it really tricky to assemble the shields, guns and Commanders before painting which means I have to pre-paint each assembly prior to fitting. I have not found a paint colour that I am happy to hand paint that matches the Tamiya Olive Drab spray cans that I plan on using. This means its just taking ages to make any progress.
I have almost finished the figures that fit into the hatches and tub but cannot really start on the riders until everything else is assembled. I intend adding a bit more clutter by way of spare equipment scattered around on the vehicles. I forgot to install the radio operator into the M577 before I sealed it up but hope to slip him in later. I should have taken a photo of the painted interior also.

  1. And then I ran out of paint on the first pass. Hope the Model shop has some in stock next week.

I am turning off comments for now as a certain Peter Smith has been spamming me endlessly, and it's wasting my time moderating it. I hope that does not put off genuine commentators who may want to comment later.
