I wanted to do the first stages of painting of my two StuGs (I had already pre-shaded them) but in the end I could not muster any energy to do anything creative. This is why I hate the holiday season ... filling in for colleages leaves you tired and drained even on weekends.

That video definitely strikes a familiar chord, carts. You are making remarkable progress on that vast beast.
Better switch to airplanes. LF, recall what painting fairies did to Richard Dadd!
That is a pretty little Dr.I, Luno. The debate about the washes applied to the early Dr.Is goes on ad infinitum. Looks good.
I am thinking about doing a bare bones Hasegawa 1:700 KINUGASA as her sister AOBA. I have a phot of her after being modified by Rear-Admiral Scott at Cape Esperance. She had an unusual paint scheme for a Japanese cruiser.

Well, I've started a new project, the Novo (Frog) Bristol 138A high altitude research aircraft.
I bought it as a quick and dirty practice build to try some painting techniques to use on the Roden He-111C. I'm really getting sucked into it though. Unfortunately, I don't have a digital camera available for the time being.
In the meantime, I'll blatantly rip off other folks' work to show you the box art and some of the kit's problem areas.
Check out this engine and cowling:
I've already sanded and reshaped my kit's cowling. The engine is unsalvageable.
Note the lack of internal detail. The author of this build has already added the supercharger inter-cooler fins. I will try to work out something similar.
This shot shows almost all of the plastic parts. Note the mummy figure. Unfortunately, the pin for my propeller was broken and not in the box! I'll have to fashion something out of sprue, once I get some sprue!
I left all my plastic scrap and stock at home, so I'll have to buy another kit to get some (I plan to get the Italeri Il-28 for my grand-uncle who flew them in the war). I think I'll just buy an aftermarket engine too...
The decals don't look like they'll survive in one piece. I hope a coat of micro-scale decal film or future will suffice.
Might I add that in 1/72 scale, at 11 inches (28cm) wingspan, this kit is HUGE!
