Mandrake7062:  I've found all the Eagle to be time consuming but the end is well in sight with mine. When the command modules are made then it's more or less just the walkway details to finish. Still waiting for a Tamiya 1:35 PANTHER  (Sd.kfz.171) Ausf. A model to arrive though. It has taken months to aquire the real parts but I'm sure they they will look nice on the real Eagle.

I mostly use only Bodypaint for texturing models. I also use Genetica (there is also a free version) http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/ and MapZone (free)  http://www.mapzoneeditor.com/ for making textures to use in Bodypaint.
