Myself and Judy. She was nice, and had many stories to tell about Dan's conversions and attention to detail.

sorry for the tilt. this is Dan jayne's desk and the kit, boxed up for transit.

I've now done some work on the kit. Here i have first laid down a red primer coat, then added the photo etch engine screens, along with the main gun. I sourced a metal barrel from an existing kit, and sanded off the old paint to make way for the new.

Used a method of chipping i discovered on youtube. as you can see by the next array of photos, the red has been chipped through the yellow quite nicely.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/9/1/6/330916-23575-55-720.jpg)
I've accented the chips with some metallic paint, to give them the appearance of depth.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/9/1/2/330912-23575-24-720.jpg)
the problem with this technique is that the chips aren't in any way planned, nor are they easy to remove gently.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/9/1/3/330913-23575-66-720.jpg)
each time i look at this model i find more chips i missed. i will remember to take pictures next time before i paint.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/9/1/5/330915-23575-74-720.jpg)
the back deck will largely be covered, so i refrained from chipping as much back here.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/2/2/7/331227-23575-15-720.jpg)
all the bits and bobs are now ready. Decals on, and chipped. weathering to continue, and detail painting.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/4/1/4/331414-23575-34-720.jpg)
she's ready for tracks!
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/0/3/0/332030-23575-73-720.jpg)
And the tracks are on!
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/0/3/1/332031-23575-70-720.jpg)
weathering to start almost immediately
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/0/3/2/332032-23575-79-720.jpg)
looks a little bare, but that's only because it's not weathered yet. next few pictures will be of tools.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/0/9/7/333097-23575-60-720.jpg)
And she's finished! I forgot to take pictures of my tools and such as i went, sorry. I just decided to spend all day finishing her up
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/0/9/8/333098-23575-54-720.jpg)
my first model with a bucket! i will be working on bucket rust as time goes on.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/0/9/9/333099-23575-55-720.jpg)
i like the way the tracks turned out. sometimes the brush-applied flat aluminum looks artificial. it doesn't this time.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/1/0/0/333100-23575-21-720.jpg)
streaking is an inexact science, and it's often tough to know when to stop. I feel comfortable with what i did on this.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/1/0/1/333101-23575-26-720.jpg)
i know fire extinguishers aren't red when externally mounted, well, i like the color variation red provides.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/1/0/2/333102-23575-31-720.jpg)
the chipping really looks good after all the stuff gets put on. i like it.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/6/4/2/334642-23575-85-720.jpg)
Finally got it into a decent photo shoot!
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/6/5/2/334652-23575-82-720.jpg)
at certain angles, the pipe looks like a log. IT'S A PIPE.

The base was inherited from a pile of boards Judy brought for us to dig through. i use it for display purposes.

final major construction complete. My next task is to get the tracks done, and for that i will be using my older, crappy jagdtiger which happens to be the same kit as a template.

Guys, this project feels better and better as it gets closer to completion. Thank you for all your kind words about this. I added tracks last night, and will proceed with weathering as soon as i'm sure the tracks are set.

Album info
I am honored to be completing work from the legendary Dan Jayne. His widow Judy approached me to finish the kit Dan had started and which sat on his desk for the year since his passing. the first pictures here are of he kit and dan's desk, and myself, pictured with Judy.
