Building Chippys Hollow Hardware Co by Fine Scale Miniatures Pt.1

It looks like the summer is back, at least in these parts. That means there will be some interruptions in my model building soon. I was hoping to have Chippys done before the biggest one, but based on the way it is progressing, it looks like there is no chance. It isn't that I haven't spent enough time on it. The Chippys is the tricky one. It doesn't look big, but it has a large number of castings. I am painting them in parallel to the construction, so that in the end I don't have to do them all at once. I hate when that happens which is most of the time.
