Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

another casualty of war, Spud!!! but the wash looks great!!!
can I ask a question again about the STUG?
does the extinguisher is really the same with the base color?
and one of the tools, the one with 4 layered bars is it wood or steel?
Thanks
ER

the 4 bar things are for cleaning the barrel., so they would have been wood and the extinguishing thing  this should solve the color issue DISCUSSION ONLY |

Looking forward to seeing it worn down Spud, this combined with the disc camo ought to make it a stunner. |

Very nice worn effect Spud...shame the disc pattern doesn't show through but you know it's there at any rate! The rusted plates add a very nice contrast as well, just adds to the weary look this one's got so far.

yea Bill it is a shame but the Zimm made it hard to rub down and all the little dimples held some white and hid more than i was hoping for, but no matter it still looks pretty good |
