Thanks Bill! I will enjoy the time very much!! The kids are getting burnt in more ways than one...LOL!! The more they get tired, the more free time the Mrs. and I have to relax!! Just thought of something Cape Cod needs....an AMPS Mini Golf place!! Hole one...a nice Burnt out KT, hole 2 could be a knocked out StuG submerged in the water, maybe a fully intact Tiger on 3......LOL, Mmmm?   |

ER - Thanks my friend...I am crossing "the line" but it's usually one I shouldn't though....LOL!!!
Boss - Thanks Brotha'! Breaking the rules was a good idea this time!! Really diggin all the up-armor detail, leaves it open for some nice weathering later on! As for the "other" build...the way it should be, having fun - 90%...work - 10%! Duel III coming to a theater near you soon: Summer 2013!
Thank you very much for those kind words Dicky! I need to take my time a little more on the paint end of things. Usually pushed for time I tend to riffle through the good stuff...need to be savored like a fine cognac! Way too much fun though!! LOL!!

Thanks G & Gary! Getting back into the swing of things around here. LOL...A bit muggy still and I doubt the wifey will like the paint booth on the kitchen table at the moment but I am searching for a solution as I want to mask this Beotch out and camo it! Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking .........

Appreciate you dropping in on this Andy! Russian armor is sort of a love hate relationship isn't it!! LOL!!
Thanks Dupes! Well, then I hope not to screw it up to bad on the camo!
This is going to make it to the booth real soon for some more color. Getting back into the swing of being off Holiday. Add that to the this freakin' muggy weather and things get into a holding pattern...I have a lovely Pz. II going and some weathering on a BT-7 to keep me occupied!! Hope to have something on this in a day or so!! Thanks for hanging in there!!

Well I guess it's time to move forward. Been playing around on a couple kits lately and have been putting off getting this on the move. Not much, but...   If you notice, the legs be on!! I had to paint all the track pads first though, then once on, needed to put the skirts on to move to the camo stage. I spent a few minutes this afternoon and masked off everything for the squirt! Hoping to get down there in a bit and start spraying!! Woo Hoo!! Thanks for dropping in!!! |

Come on! Tell us the truth... you have little elves helping you spit out those builds out of your shop? The bust, this and there... You are the man... great work even tho I don't like Russian armors but to make our friend Dicky happy I will say I like yours very much. |

Trying to be Bill!! LOL!! Still the thread of mixing parts abounds me!! No elves Andy...least that I can tell. Been know to talk to myself sometimes and from the other room you might think there were! All good, I have not started assigning different voices to them yet though!! LOL!! This is a little "different" Russian armor ey? Got the Duck quality, good size bang bang, APC and you are able to parallel park the beotch on a dime!! |

Dang T, how many builds you got going? You must have a warehouse to keep all this fine work going! |
