Regards Alan Yeah they vary depending on the kit. I have one that after building the right leg I skipped the left because it was so parts intensive. Did everything else but never got back to the leg. It's next on list to finish. DeAgostini kit builds:

Here is the right shoulder shield assembly. I finished building it but now I need to decal it. The decals that go on the shield are rub ons. While not my first kit with these, it will be the first time I actually used them. So that will be then next update when I get the nerve to do this haha. Oh and post #500 for me.

So yeah, I was super nervous about doing this. First time trying it and didn't want to mess it up. Ended up being easy and turning out nice. I would have liked the wolf head to be a bit more to the left but not gonna worry about it. Basically just cut out the decal. Taped it in place and used a penny to run it on. Just carefully lifted it in case it didn't all rub off correctly. Only thing I would do different is very a small pair of siccors to cut the out with. Your supposed to use a hobby knife but I am not stready enough for that. DeAgostini kit builds:

Ok now for the final weapon. This is the bazooka and prototype bazooka. You can only build of the two but you are given the parts to build both. First up is the trigger/handle section. This is the part that is the same between both bazookas. I had hoped to build and photograph everything today but wasn't able to. So the rest of the build tomorrow hopefully. You will notice in the photo the bazooka has a opening and closing scope cover. DeAgostini kit builds:

Here are the parts that make up the basic bazooka. Doing this one first because it's the easiest and also not the one I am keeping. DeAgostini kit builds:

Ok guys that's it for this build for now. I still need to panel line it and maybe add some more decals. For now though I am taking a break and putting it in storage. I will most likely do the final bits of detail when the man cave is done and I have somewhere do display it. DeAgostini kit builds:
