Well thank ya maestro D. Your comment humbles me
All this modificationing went well up until...I got the two half together. I`ve quadruple checked my cuts and the fit of the resin part...I have done according to plan and spec. There may be some shrinkage involved.... Look at the gap! this glacis is 1.5 mil to freekin short...
Since there was no way I could undo my doing I decided to fill the gap with what is known as styren (not sure if you guys are familiar with this material) Of course some milliput for fine tuning.
Styren
Milliput, I took a pic just in case someone misinterpret milliput for miniput
When pressed together the two parts fit.....LIIIIKE A GLOVE!
Acw Phil

Thanks Dicky, maybe you want to google it and get an idea about this S-T-Y-R-E-N thing Thanks for the good word Gary sturm. (not to mix with Gary BoggsWindu) The only thing that bugs me with the fix it`s that it change the distance between the tow hooks and the edge of the front glacis....I`ll have to live with this one Phil.

Rodger that Dicky, I think I will Jazz it up: IMPROVISE and go with the flow. I`ll try the first row and see if I can split the error. Thanks mate! Phil.

Very nice solution to the gap problem Phil. This magical substance you speak of, is it also referred to as 'white stuff'?

If I had used the side rubber amor as a template, I think I could have avoided this mishap. HAaaaaaa, nothing beat`s being old and wise in this game! some day! Boots! Thanks bro! hope you get your goodies soon, that pz lll thread is awesome! Dicky, you should try your local library, in the ocult book section and try to find the infamous styrenomicon, but beware of it`s power....some books are not meant to be open....Just so you know. Luigi. I am thinking of joining the S.A. But I think I am beyond help with my styren addiction. her is some progres. frontglacis04 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr engine bay01 par asmodeuss, sur Flickr Phil.
