Hi guys , been having probs with my net so its been a bit quiet from the Panzer Factory however I am still building and painting away . That brings me to this ickle kit which is actually very good for being 13 years old ..............  Its the Revell 1/72 kit and its going together rather quickly indeed .... unfortunately I need to Zimm this one ....    There are a few things that need changing , grab handles ect....... Im also working on the tracks which are DS , so as you can imagine Im having loads of fun hur hur! Deano |

Nice choice of victim! Don't envy you doing zim in that scale but I'm sure you'll put it off.  |

Thanks for joining me fella's  Dicky Im slowly but surely losing my sanity with this braille scale stuff but in a good way lol Today I managed to get the tracks done , sprocket and idler are fixed to the tracks so its easier to paint .  I have to say these Panzers are the reason I model Axis armour so much , packed with detail and loads of different angles to catch the eye..  Started the Zimm and I will continue with this tonight plus adding the schurzen brackets amongst other things . Cheers Deano |

Sooner or later I'll tackle my Stug III B and join you on the german side. But I think later is far more probable |

Hi Leon , Carl , thanks for the support . Armed with Mr Surfacer 500 and a dinky screw driver I got 40% of the Zimm done . Its not brilliant but Im happy enough with it in this scale...........  So I will just keep plodding away with the Zimm until complete . Cheers Deano |

I couldn't do Zimm in 1/35, you're doing a fine one in 72...  |

Interesting use of mr surfacer would never have thought of that in small scale looks rather good

Many thanks guys , still plugging away with the Zimm here ..... not long to go now ..........     As you can see I am working behind the running gear now which is a little bit awkward , maybe leave the roadwheels off next time lol. Cheers Deano |

Hi Dicky , yeah once it has a skin you can go to work on it . The best think about this way of doing it is you can take your time and plod away with it . No worries about setting times.

I think Deano's cheating and this is really a 1/35 kit...the giant fingers in the last photo are proof of the conspiracy! |
