I try to every evening after the TV is cut off. Some nights I get quite a bit in some nights maybe a page or two before it's lights out. I have my tablet with the Kindle app on a flexible pivot stand next to the bed that I can just pivot out in front of me don't have to hold it just use my fingers to turn the page. Put it in night time mode and turn down the brightness works perfect.

About 2 months, but that isn't non stop. I usually only work on them Saturday-Mondays ( I work 4 and 3 schedule) but with mardi gras and the Olympics I got side tracked. About 35 hours if I had to guesstimate2.

Thanks! Rye Field isn't for everyone. The fit and finish is fantastic. All of their kits are very high parts count. Some kits have lots of photo etch parts, of which I am not a fan. Some say they are over engineered and extra fiddly with the high parts counts for sub assemblies, but they are definitely challenging and not for the novice builder ( which I know you aren't.)
As for the camo netting yes it is just gauze that I airbrushed the three-tone NATO color scheme onto.
on. I then soaked it in water to make it a little less stiff and used white glue diluted with some water and placed it where I thought it should be from pictures.

Rye Field Model 1/35th scale Challenger II TES
(Theatre Entry Standard). This is a modification to the standard British main battle tank to provide up armored body for better protection against IEDs and added belly armor and also explosive reactive armor alongside the turret and the sides of the fuselage. It also added a remotely operated weapon system for the loaders position not unlike the United States C.R.O.W.S.
Vehicle shown is"Megatron" of the Royal Armored Corps, Royal Wessex Yeomanry.

Kerkez seems to be warming to the Left backtask. I've been one of his biggest critics but he seems to be growing into the spot. If he was just a hair taller he'd be better at defending set pieces. But he got man of the match yesterday.
