Leon there are a ton of small parts in the elevation and traverse mechanism . Dang difficult to hang onto them micro parts . I spent a third of the time crawling around on my concrete floor with a flash light looking for zinger parts . Phoof !
Lui a job indeed . I think I kinda got burned out on the detail and that's why I'm progressing ever so slowly on finishing this one up .
Thanks guys .

Hi there Carl,
This one is coming along just great! Love the little odd details such as the "Balkenkreuz" on the right hand side doors, partially hidden. Also the amount of different colors and shades, beautifully intergrating into each other gives me very warm feelings inside ...
Thanks for sharing!
greetings, Richard. |

The last pieces are the hardest, they say; It is coming along just fine.
Did you put the gun on the vehicle yet, just for trying out. It is a big beast isn't it. I think it is longer and higher than a Tiger I.

If you also have this sudden urge to fly South (or even North!), that's a sure sign of DUKW fever... |

Best remedy to fend off DUKW fever? Watch that... Best reality show... LOL Just wondering . Is it necessary to wear black face and look tuff in order to shoot a duck ? Think I'll stick with chicken instead . I can still wear black face and look tuff but I wont have to stand in water . |

I can still wear black face and look tuff but I wont have to stand in water . got to admit i have watched the show. kind of funny though. i watch them get all the cammo and makeup on and go hunt. reminds me of the ones that come from seattle to hunt here. they come into the store with the heavy cammo makeup on and shop. the locals show up in everyday cloths and then put on the orange vest. joe |

Hey Gary good seeing you again . Joe , we get the pheasant hunters from Spokane (I guess that's where they are from ) I know their out of towners cause they go out and get stuck on the muddy dirt roads and then realize there is no cell phone service . |

Just got done attaching the shield . It took a bit of tweaking and some masking tape to get it to conform .Now I hope the tape wont take the paint off with it when I remove it later on . I used my standard weathering procedures but I did do more high lighting f the light grey so as to bring out all of that detail . Later the gun barrel and breech go on . But for now .............  |
