Thanks Bill. The Spade Ace tracks came. Washed and burnished them all up yesterday and now they're drying.

Went down to Casting today and was lucky to find 3 Russian speaking disabled Veterans and type cast them for a leading part in my Build. They said yes, so took them down to soak in Bleach White, before taking them to Costume and paint. Long story short, my Verlinden Russian Tank Crew WWII No 303 came:)  |

Always the suit of these men caused bewilderment. I congratulate Bruce! Now the tank won't be lonely.  |

Whist working on the toilet bowl lids and such, noticed there weren't any springy thingies on them. Dug out the trusty ole roll of 28 Ga. wire and made some. Then it was off to the paint booth to blow bubbles.

Springy thingies are a nice addition! But that's no way to treat Michael Jackson's chimp |

Why, did I leave the lids up again?

No, not as far as I know - but you keep him in unsuitable surroundings and do unspeakabe things to him. I think your exact words were 'Then it was off to the paint booth to blow bubbles.'  |

Good progress - what are you using for reference? I have the Tamiya BT-7 and an Alanger T28 ready for the chop shop, but I have no really good reference for the project.

Tanx fellas! The air brush had a clog or stuck something or other and was foaming all over the place. Had to go clean it.
Martin and Dierk can hook you up with some great reference sites for the BT-7. With them and the photos, it's really helped to make this week end project into an all year one. Excuse me..... I need to go paint some more. Too many GBs coming up soon.
