I would definitely recommend Mr metal color Brass No219 if you can get hold of some it's the best stuff I have used for shells, once dry a buff with a soft cloth really brings out a nice shine.

Hey Pete, thats some great info buddy thanks! Im gonna see if my nephew will order some for me.

Cheers Smudge,
Gary

Sweeeet!

You've done it! Everything I managed to screw up 18 months ago you've done perfectly! I quite fancy building another Marder even more now (I found a pack of Marder Friuls so that's one extra reason too).

Lovely interior.

I'm glad your rear panel fitted ok buddy.

What scheme - 'Giraffe Spots'?

Top work - result

Thanks Gerius ! Thats whats holding me up on the Jagd ..figurring out how i want to do the chipping effect .either like your doing it , or hair spray or salt .

[bbd468]

Hey Carl, I have 3 different sponge types but the one i used on the marder and is my favorite is the grey electronics padding sponge...you know what i mean? I can take a pic of the sponge and post should you need me to.


Update fellas!!! I have attached the exhaust pipe and muffler and the jack and tool box. Im about to clean the tools up and decide how im gonna replicate the tool clamps. I have yet to successfully put together PE clamps and ive tried many times... I reckon ill figure out something. I also managed to break part of the gun...Doh!!! Ill fix later.



More soon fellas!

Gary

[fightnjoe]

that looks like something i would do gary. still looking dang good.

Now how did you break that off Garius ? Big ole fingers in there bangin around i suppose .......... You'll get er fixed . That pe box next to the jack looks sweet !I like the pe detailing .

About that sponge idea if you want you can give a little sbs on it when you get to that chipping stage here . Thanks bro !

[deafpanzer]

Oopsie! Bet your goatee knocked it off? Looks like another easy fix for you to do. Excellent PE work on the tool box! Did I ever tell you how much I love PE? LOL

[afvfan]

I feel for you about the tool clamps. There were only 4 of them on that Tiger I just finished, but they took the better part of 3 working sessions to do.

[wbill76]

That recoil guard needs some reinforcement Gary! Nice work on the details.

[bbd468]

Thanks a bunch my friends!

It werent the gotee fellas, it were the recoil of my sausage fingers! Aint the first time and wont be tha last.

Thanks for stoppin' by gents,
Gary

[danb.]

Sweet update buddy thats the problem with these SPG's they have so many sticky outy bits that they are bound to break off im sure you have the technology to rebuild it buddy;) keep up the damn fine work.

Dan B

[bullardino]

At least you didn't drop it on the floor like I did with my sausage clumsy fingers

Great update, keep it coming bro

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Your PE box looks fine man,way to go.
Griffon makes a sheet of clamps that are just folded,only one or two parts to them.

Nice update Gary, breaking things off is modelling's way of telling you fit that bit last! 

[wing_nut]

Gary it really looks great. I am at the tools clamp stage too so depending on who gets to it 1st can inspire the other. Well, at least motivate.

[406 Silverado]

oops he says...lol,. that's a nrom around here bro...I do it all the time.

[bbd468]

Hey you guys,

Many thanks to you...my friends, for dropping in and for the great comments.

My fingers tend to snap "Sticky outy bits" pretty regular. Ive got an alternative to the PE clamps im workin' on-em now...So Mr.WN....you can have-em all to yourself! I got to get my hands on the 1- 2 piece Clamps Tony...that sounds more my speed. I get these tools all done and attached ill post an update.

Cheers fellas,
Gary

[Deleted]

It's coming together well Gary I must admit PE is not my favourite thing too especially flipping tool clamps
