I reckon it's your best ever, just pipping your 1:16 T-34 tank which was my favourite and I thought would be hard to beat, but this one is definitely a notch higher - very well done mate!!   
Love the oily steamed look you've achieved with the boiler on your engine and Joe looks fantastic - top job.
Kev  Just wait until the next "build with a twist" we taken on in 2017

Thank you all for looking in and your comments, really enjoying this build, its something different to my usual military stuff.
I have given the howitzer a coat of klear to seal it as the grey is prone to rubbing off when being handled, even though it is properly cured. Once it has dried I can carry on with the painting of the tools and the detailing.

Thank you everyone for looking in and your comments.
I have started on the detailing of the howitzer. Tools have been painted in and the wear on the outriggers is underway. Nemesis attached the following image(s):

Daran A very inspirational build. To the point that i so wanted to add one of these kits to my collection and managed to get hold of one via ebay a week or so back. With the number of traction engine kits suddenly getting listed on ebay and what appears to be a sudden interest i would bet your build is the reason why. Really enjoyed watching you put this one together. Happy Modelling

You are a master of the weathering art Daran, those outriggers look fantastic. A nice idea to show it in two halves, which really emphasises how much work is involved in weathering a kit?
Very well done mate, excellent work as always!!

As Kev already said, a master of the weathering.
I really like posts like this that show the differences between weathered and un-weathered as it really does make all the difference in trying to work out what the weathering is doing to the finish.

Not sure about being a master at weathering, but Thank you Kev and Dave for your comments .

The howitzer has now had a thinned wash all over and I have done a pin wash to bring out some panels and the rivets. Again it all looks very sharp, but once I start the pigments and matt coat they will soften. Next up is the wheels. Nemesis attached the following image(s):

Nem, I have to agree with the others! That really is a masterclass in weathering with washes! That howitzer couldn't look more metal if you scratch built the whole thing in er, metal! Brilliant work as always! Robin.
