Andy , I agree about the space ship look . I was looking at some star trek pics and there is a resemblance there .But not the Merk . They had a pic of some space alien that reminded me of you . ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Leon thanks for looking in . To bad I don't have nothing new to post just yet . Been busy with other obligations . Bill , you know it don't take much to get Nems excited about a modern armor kit . Hmmmm , I didn't think about him dancing though , hope the ole U.K-er don't injure himself . Jeff , ok ! I wonder how the Meng release is to build ? May have to get one of them . Tanker Jeff ,Hell yes you can join in ! Sounds like you got a few to build . Kinda like my stash . I'll never build everything that's piled up in there . Oh well , its great knowing they are all there just waiting aint it ! G , I had to cave in at some time . Besides I was starting to mumble in my version of German to my wife and she didn't think it was funny . Nems , there you go again . Now the secrets out I bet . ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) My reason for no update on the kit . My grand daughter .She will keep me busy till tomorrow evening . "watch the stache kid ". She likes shavin Gramps and I have a big face t shave . ![](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Shellback-01/Family/IMG_2237-1-1.jpg)

I get a break while the girl is taking a shower . I'll take advantage of that to respond here . She's been a real treat as always . If she was around more often i'd lose 30 lbs in a hurry . ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Nems , she's got her own mind (maybe thats typical of a almost 8 yr. old girl ?) and is helluva lot of fun . She actually does a dang good job of shaving me . ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Dupes , I had to go for the gusto this time . Cant stay stuck in the past . I bought this one about 2 yrs ago . Its about time to build it before the plastic crumbles . ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Dan , i was hopping this modern build would go faster but its a tad more parts than i expected . ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) Andy , I could say I'm sorry about that ...... ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ......but I'm not! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) I hope to cherrish all the time I have with her . ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Well she's already done and yacking up a storm . Later guys .

Mark , thought I'd give the German stuff a break and try something diff for a change . Never can tell , I might like building this "other" armor . OMG , no way would I let her shave me with one of them straight razor weapons !
Nems , you want to see something strange then wait to you see me build one of them Russian dio's . Now that'd be some kinda challenge for me mate .
Baer , its been fun so far . Maybe it'll stay that way . Hang around and lets see .

So here's a few pics to keep things moving along . This is the parts for the exhaust . ![](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Shellback-01/Merkava%20IV/IMG_3311.jpg) Assembled ![](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Shellback-01/Merkava%20IV/IMG_3313.jpg) On the Merk the panels 3 and 4 (the panels under the exhaust)do not have the spring arms like the rest of the panels . ![](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Shellback-01/Merkava%20IV/Merkava_mk_iv084.jpg) I modified the kit parts by removing the arms from the parts for those panels . There also is no bottom plate for the louvered exhaust area and I scratched that . ![](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Shellback-01/Merkava%20IV/IMG_3315.jpg) ![](http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Shellback-01/Merkava%20IV/IMG_3317.jpg) Now , like me , you are up to date . ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Always good to stay current Carl! Wouldn't want you to go past your expiration date...especially with your hungry teeth lurking about. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Nice progress on the Merk's exhausts.

Jeff , the kit just left a big ole hole down at the bottom in there . Its difficult seeing what is really at the bottom of the exhaust outlet in the pics I found but I figure what with this tank belching black diesel exhaust it'll all be smudged up and sooty looking anyway . ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Nems , good huh ? Poor woman, she must be assuming that when your out in your cave your behaving yourself . Wrong ![P-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/pirate.png) ! Just thinking , when ever Deb wants you to come in from that shed all she has to do is unplug the extension cord ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) , right ? ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Chris , I used to think that pe stuff was a good thing but after wrestling with a couple of sets of it I'm all but fed up with it for the most part . Its god for really small /fine details but the stuff not bonding worth a poop is what makes me pull out my hair . And look at my hair line know ! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Thanks Bill . I've put some of my kits to the real aging test . They gotta rot away sometime don't they ? Bill where did you see my teeth ? I left in a post around here someplace and cant round em up . Getting close to their feedin time you know . ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
