Well, summer has arrived here on the Island. The grey is gone, and we won’t have rain for another few months. For now, the grass is still green and my roses are very happy.

The weekend was busy and hot (over 30 degrees Celsius which is hot for here). My house has no shade from any large trees (almost all of my trees are fruit trees or ornamental) so it heats up a lot, especially in the addition where I wargame and paint. I did not expect any challenges due to the heat but I’m learning.

I was putting a wash on my FJ supports and it got warm enough to separate the wash a bit.

The Tiger looks pretty good, the PAK 40 was fine, but the Hanomag however… well, see for yourself.

The end result is that the vehicles look pretty dirty. I will be adding camouflage paint (and painting the interior and the stowage), so it’s not a total loss but it is a frustration.
