Look forward to the stowage mate so thanks for that......this should look ok buried under 95% of it , gotta knock up some milliput tarps and get some netting from Fields of Glory models ( it`s only cheap and comes in various colours (green, brown, beige..etc) ..........and make up some crates........lots of ferkin` crates Wouts........thanks buddy , please don`t mention the T word , it`ll happen one day matey

OH man! Sorry to hear about this... like Dicky said take a break from the bench. Bring it over to Dicky's shop... trust me he can fix just anything. He even saved my marriage.
Hang in there... missed couple of updates over the weekend and it looked REAL GOOD! Good candidate for wrecked build one day or something like that.

Boots, that really sucks Dude. I feel terrible for you. It was looking so fine. Don't get too down. I sent all of my modeling stuff home three weeks ago thinking that we would move back to the house in two. Well here it is three weeks running, haven't moved back and I'm starting to have building pains . Can't wait to get back to the bench. Dicky's right, take a break , have a scotch and a breath and chill for awhile. It'll come back. Remember the site rules

We all felt that way in some moment, at least I did. Take your time, we are here to help. If I was there I'd come to your home to try to salvage the thing (and make it even worse with my clumsy hands). But, please, don't stop modelling. You have far too much talent to depriv the world from your works.

Really appreciate the support guys and thanks everso much............will this do instead Resin cupola i had spare......detail is good on the tub And Magic tracks and etch..........the tracks are coloured light and dark grey to show left and right.. This is about the last armour kit i have now so i can`t ferk this one up!!!, i am going to get another M2A1 tho coz i was lovin` that build!!............and i have plenty of spares plus a shed load of etch from the Voyager set!!! I`ve decided to bite the bullet and stick with the modeling (as much as i wanna sling everything in the bin!!)........the mojo was way up and it seems a shame to let an accident spoil it I`ll start a proper thread for this Pz tho.....and maybe a mod can kill off this thread please, just gonna go and see how much another M2A1 is on E bay........it`ll have to be a Tamiya one tho coz i can`t afford a Dragon one. Dicky...........i`ll still snaffle the stowage if you`ve got it spare fella . Thanks again fellas

Thanks Mark..............to be honest i was ready to box everything up mate, that just about done me yesterday!!! Iv`e found another HT kit from Tamiya but it`s the M21 Mortar crew one..........looks very similar and i think i`ll wait till next week and maybe buy one...........it`s only £20!! (maybe thats a bit worrying......why is it so cheap i ask myself??), with the spares and spare etch left over i should be able to make it a decent kit!!...also i think i got the OD sorted so i should be able to replicate what i had......just in a different `guise Thanks again buddy.............maybe i should have stuck with me cars `n` bikes, perhaps that was a sign to get the hell out of the armour section!!

Glad your back at it mate and know only too well where your coming from. A few days break can work wonders, just doing other things you like. My last build was so complex i honestly had a month or two away from it just for a recharge and came back at with a new approach and some other ideas. Sometimes being a perfectionist isn't easy, i like to think were just artists and the worlds best are all perfectionists but have their moments where they need to step back. Onwards and upwards buddy!

Dang! I was just catching up on this one Boots and BAM! Crapola! I've committed an act or two of plasticide with the brick of doom when things didn't go right. That sure was one fine looking build. Stay with it mate!

Will that do? WILL THAT DO? Hell yeah, that will do. I remember that kit, it was the first one I did on My return to the hobby 2-3 years ago. Boy,was I overwhelmed. I didn't even know you where supposed to paint the PE, cause it showed it as gold on the box . I'll have to see if I can find some pics. Glad you're back Dude. Model on.

Boots that was bad news about the halftrack. the panzer three is a good looking kit though. I have the tamiya M16 multy gun carrage with a few spares from the Great wall hobby version i did in it. Its yours free of charge if you want it bud. I wont get round to it as i have way too many builds to do. Just drop me your details or if you go to euro i will bring it for ya.

Oh S***! , that was looking superb mate , these things are sent to try us though . Step away from it and choose another project , keep your mojo going . One day you will come back to this and ressurect it . I launched a model out my back window once , many moons ago and regretted it ever since . Quicly built a Panther to get me going again and the world kept turning Panzer III will be sweet you will enjoy it I promise! Deano
