The UK weather has been cruel to the UK modeller and not allowed me too much work on the Crawler since the snow a week or so back - I got to the stage whereby I needed to prime and spray outside my workshop just as the snow flakes started to fall so this has fallen behind a bit.
I managed to get the 4 main drive bogies attached with some re-enforcing nails to use as pins to secure the upright attachment into the floor of the Crawler. The brass and copper ad-lib pipework is complete and I have hand built the control tower window frames too.
With the base coat of grey primer now finally on and ready for the various shades of brown and weathering, I am hoping to get further work done over the xmas break.

I really want to build of thes and a Dstroyer but I just cant justify the high cost to the UK when the kits need so much remedial work to make them fit together.
Great work, look forward to the next update.

Its all coming together very slowly but I'm nearly done now - just need to add the treads and complete the diorama base now - which is just as well because Randy Cooper texted me last night to confirm he is about to post my new Star Destroyer kit that he has spent the last year or so updating and is now finally putting into production.
