Thanks Dierk. Here's a pic or two of where they were last week, first the 'Gal with tracks test fitted and some more weathering done:  IMG_7061 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_7060 by Russel Baer, on Flickr And the Batash, no tracks yet but some weathering:  IMG_7062 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_7063 by Russel Baer, on Flickr I was planning on using Merk2 tracks on this one, but after some more digging, I found a pic of this tank (or Academy's example) and it wears Batash tracks, so that's the plan. I did some more today, will get more pics up asap. T'anks! |

Not "tomorrow", but today I had some time, and pushed ahead of the 'Gal a bit. I darkened up the mine roller attachment, wanting it to look as if it was painted separately from the tank. Left to do: some final dusting, figs, turret MGs, antennae.... not much actually, and I'm actually kind of looking forward to doing the figs on this one, very unusual for me.

A first thought, and doncha know, every tank model needs a "pointer".  IMG_0022 by Russel Baer, on Flickr |

Glad to see you still working away on these Russ, and yes, you have to have a pointer...how else will the rest know what to be looking at?  |

Yup. So, Mr Black I ain't, but here they are so far:  IMG_0741 by Russel Baer, on Flickr I still have some more Meng figs, and a couple of old Verlinden guys too, and the base is started. Whee! I also dug up all the 105mm ammo crates that come in both the Esci and Academy kits,and painted them. They'll make a nice stack. |

Thanks Bill. Yup, closer all the time, and I vow to not start anything else until these are both done. I do have something in mind for the next one, picked it up at King's yesterday, and the plan is to do it OOB, with only a little enhancement of in the box parts, no AM, no white stuff.
That's the plan anyway.
