Leon Boots thanks guys the fleeing Refuges is the main part,but more along the lines of well to do German officials trying to flee crashing into the tank in their haste and meeting the distain of the Army left to fight in most of these cases the people were shot out of hand for running away and not defending the Fatherland.

Well i think this will be invouge this weekend i have been doing rather a lot on this while waiting for other things to dry. . DSC07861 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I added a little hight to the corner with this lamp post more to come on this corner soon. . DSC07862 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Not the best rolled up fire hose done it like that on camp fire picket duty back in the day provo Sgt would have a fit. RTrial and error new one being made and some attachments. . DSC07864 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. My water stand point for the bridge rebuild test fit. Should have more on this side of the project soon. The idea is to have the damage cleared and the bridge under repair. Rgs Mac

First up big thanks to Chris B and Dicky who over a few pints showed me the errors of my ways while we were at Sword and Lance see i do take things in not just pies. I was adviced to come away from my normal internet haunts leave my safety zone and try life outside the small pond as a big fish and be a little fish in a very big pond. Its worked very well so much talent on this site across the model spectrum people like Bill (Legend) seeing his stuff in the flesh charged my batteries right up. Others commented on my photos not being up to scratch something i am trying to address. Well once again thanks guys. . DSC07899 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Got some white foam card hope this helps. I have been using some of the AK ship filters on the bridge its still an ongoing weathering project i anm just putting some colour back into the cross supports. . DSC07904 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Still all the weathering with water and more rusts tools ect to go. . DSC07903 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Added some scratch lines these will fade with more filters as i progress. DSC07900 by macmcconnell, on Flickr.. The water point will have buckets ect too the idea being that the water pipe under the bridge was damaged and the civil engineers have re routed the water. This will tie in with a Kaput sign round the fire hydrant. Sorry no more guessing whats on the bench i like these white back grounds hope yopu do too. Mac Mac

Thanks Lugi Heres some car shots The broad detail on the inside is done now i have to add all the small details as you can see a complete get out of Germany kit is in the back Nazi flag for planes white flag for allies whine crate and more to come. . DSC07890 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. . DSC07888 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Bit of Leather work. . DSC07892 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Just started weathering the stowage there is a lot to come on this i am waiting for some cases from Bronco. . . DSC07894 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. One thing that had stopped me was the gloss black from Halfords had not dried as smooth as i wanted i was a little worried but a few coats of Mr Hobby Clear sorted it out now its as a smooth as Dickys peachy rear upending in the north sea.
