Hello everybody, I haven't had a whole lot of bench time this week, but I did get a start on the accessories for the interior of the beast. I have one (of five) gas mask canister racks, one (of four) intercom boxes, and a few lights.  I also started the firing petal for the coax machine gun  The petal isn't in place yet, it's just sitting more or less where it should be. Finally, I realized I hadn't tried to test fit the suspension and tracks.  I'm hoping to get back at it tomorrow. Thanks again for looking in. |

Thanks guys. I finally got the basic turret floor done. I have a little seam work to do, but it's on the way.   I don't think it's going to be long before she sees primer. Thanks for looking in. |

Thanks T.
It really is a nice kit. I am trying to talk myself out of another one. For some reason, a Jag IV L/70 seems to be talking to me.

Thanks guys.
Bill, the holder is a box for trading cards. It just turned out to be the right size. It's nice to get lucky every now and then.

Right you are my friend.
Sorry I haven't posted anything for a little while. I am having some motivational problems right now. This does tend to happen from time to time. I just need to walk away for a few weeks, then it should be back to "Full Speed Ahead".

No worries Bruce! Now's not the time to push yourself and start making mistakes. |

Hello Everybody. I have been spending the past few weeks puttering, without a whole lot of success on anything. After I actually cleaned my bench off, I decided it was high time I got back to this beast. I was trying to do too much on her. I decided to take her in smaller chunks, so I got the hull interior painted.   I'm hoping to get some weathering laid in starting tomorrow. We'll see. Thanks for looking in. |

Hello everybody. I finally managed to get a little bench time in. I got the decals on the ammunition (finally). I set the lockers in the hull, and got a start on the weathering. There's still a lot of general griming, but I can at least see some progress.    As always, I appreciate all of you looking in. |

Hello everybody. I finally got a start on the weathering of the engine bulkhead.  I also got a pretty good start on gunking the engine up.   I better watch out, they might just be ready to install tomorrow or Wednesday. Thanks again for looking in. |
