TRM- LOL! I am so glad my OCD is just mild... I am just a clean freak but I do not organize paint in ABC or something like that. I feel your pain living with OCD folks but often I am thankful for a clean house to come home. You have to meet my father in law one day... one of most OCD person I have known in my whole life. I mess up his window blinds on purpose while he is not around just to drive him crazy...
Yep, the tracks are finally ON! Two days left for MOM? Fat chance! Wish I have the speed... maybe another week or two at most. I still need to weatherize, apply pigments then work on diorama which will be my first attempt.
Spud- Maybe in few weeks all paint bottles will be facing at me properly. Oh yes, I love racks too! LOL Thanks for stopping by buddy!

Guys- Another update... tracks are on now. They fit the diorama base very nicely too.   That's the base from MIG I plan to work on as soon as I am done with the panzer.  I have no idea why my camera was acting up tonight... thank for looking!

Andy, Im gonna use your base coat and highlights as motivation for my StuG Color. Just love how yours looks. You have got some great products to replace the MM stuff. You make the paint rack yourself? Looking forward to more buddy!  Gary |

Looks mighty fine Andy!! It's coming together very nicely. I like that base you have, looks like it will be fun to paint. And I really dig that shot glass in the center of the paint rack.. |

Gary- You have to try one of those AK color modulation sets! I was so sold... bought three sets so far and I plan to buy the rest except for Russkies which I am not really into. You want those MM paint? Its free if you want them! LOL Actually my good redneck buddy who works as carpenter helped me build one. I helped little... applied wood glue, swept wood off floor and got him something to drink. Took him only 15 minutes which would have taken me all day to build one. LOL Bigjohn- You have very good set of eyes. I use it to hold small parts during the building stages. Still no word from Roscoe Turner IMPS when the next show will be... thanks for stopping by! John- Thanks buddy! Have you heard anything about Roscoe Turner? Probably still too early. But good news the chapter is planning to bid for 2014 or 2015 National to be held right here in Indianapolis. You know what it means? If they win, we will have to stock plenty of meat and beer for the crew...

Robbo- Thanks man! Glad you like it so far. I am afraid I will need a bigger rack in few months... LOL Oh you have Pz III M... "take it out... build it... mojo will come!!!' ;D Steve- No worries it is always good hearing from you. Now I am in mood for a cold beer to kick off the Labor Day weekend. Three days weekend for most of us Americans...  Spud- Glad you liked the tracks! I found it strange that both sides have same number of 94 links but one side is more tight while another is little loose. So I added one more link to that side side and it looked too loose so went back to 94 links.

Gary & John- LOL! Thanks. Hope I can start the Tiger I build in a week or two!!! Guys- Another update... thanks to remnants of Hurricane Isaac bringing us very wet weather today so we spent whole day inside. We really needed the rain because of the summer drought. The MIG base has been primed with black...  Used AK Interactive Panzer Grey streaking...    Tomorrow I will use AK Interactive Rust streaking product.

It sure is looking mighty fine Andy! The streaking looks great, now get on that muffler!
Lucky dog, looks like you guys got most of the rain. We got a bit on Friday, nothing at all on Saturday. It is raining a bit right now but I don't think it will last long.

John- Thanks my good friend! You didn't get much rain? Its crazy... it rained almost all day yesterday. Next time you should come with buckets... Right now I don't have an air compressor and I am planning to buy one on Friday (payday) so I can attack the muffler and MIG base. Planning to do hairspray technique on the muffler itself. One more thing... a friend of mine who visits Auburn often because where his in-laws are has informed me yesterday that Victory WWII museum is having a huge auction in November. They owe $2.9 million dollars...

Plus they have the big Dragon Wagon. Your weathering looks outstanding Andy. Looking forword to the finish. |

Dio base will look very cool when it's painted up and that Tiger I is the dogs jewels mate Can't wait to see that one blog'd up Shame about the museum, the government should step in and help out there, what's 2.9m to them? We need to keep the history alive if we want to stop things repeating ! Rant over.. Sorry guys!  |

Robbo- Thanks mate!!! Bigjohn- Thanks buddy! I am with you about Victory Museum. Shutting down or selling some to raise money to survive? I need to look into this and keep everybody posted. I remember seeing those RSO. My fav was the HT pulling a 88. Multicam- You read my mind... was thinking about going too. My friend said its on Nov 24th. I will check its website to confirm... maybe we can pinch in and buy that 88? Stevem- Thanks! Agree about government stepping up to preserve historical objects. I guess keeping people on welfare is more important at this moment...  Dicky- Thanks Dicky! ;D Good news I have discovered the speed that you have. Actually because Hurricane Isaac it hasn't stopped raining for more than two days. Thank you Isaac!!! The streaks was the beginning. Applied rust streaks and I am going to post pictures in a minute.

Guys- Thank you Isaac! So much rain here... it means more workbench and my wife is not even complaining! Applied AK Interactive Rust streaks... for sure I love AK products more than Dicky. ;D    Hope you didn't hear me hollering 'F-E-R-K!' an hour ago? I may be deaf but trust me I can pronounce that word perfectly... here's why!  Anybody has spare bottle of AK Rust streaks? LOL
