Hope you won't mind me spamming the board so early after registration. This is a nice example of how 80 percent of my projects end up as. Starting out as something very simple. Ending up really elaborate. This is a built that already started some time ago and has been standing still for a while. I recently got the idea of picking it up again. So I hope you don't mind me getting you up to speed about the project first.
It started with a DML Kettenkrad with 88mm Puppchen. And I also got the Eduard PE set for it. I also got some books about the Kettenkrad one of which was a collection of my own walkarounds that I made into a book at work. I started with detailing the engine and transmission. Which was hugely simplified in the kit.
Some random Doodads
Buttoned up to see if it all fitted inside that small place. Also opened up one of the stowage bins.
Did not like the handholds at the back. DML made them way too clunky. So I scratched those from copperwire and evergreen.
Under the rearseat of the Kettenkrad was a toolbox. I scratched that as well
And will be filled with
Overview
This is how it is now. Waiting for the last few things to do and add and then it is onto the primer.
It is quite a long post I know. Apologies for that.
I also sculpted two figures for it
Ok that is it for now. I will pick this one up soon and finally finish it.

It's a shame you won't be able to see much when it's all assembled.
