87 WHEELS! or Distraction No.1 revisited

Over the long weekend I took my 10 Pumas to a stage that I would be almost happy to game with (in the privacy of my own garage). This means they are about 75% done. So whats not finished - the airbrushed camo, the decals, the crew and some details like handles on tools. It's this last 25% that can sometimes take up heaps more time than you expect, but it does leave you with a great looking model.

It took ages to paint the wheels in simple black - Why? Because as I discovered - there were 87 of the damn things to do. 8 per Puma + 7 more (spare tires) on the backs of the Battlefront Pumas. Very glad that's over.

So... I'm stopping this particular distraction here - at a point where if I have a game coming up where I'd like to use them I can knock them over in a couple of nights.

I also ordered some of the new German decals from Dom's Decals especially for the Pumas so I'll give some feedback on them once they arrive.

Back to D-Day...

Have fun
