Clint, Tom, Mike, Joe, Stuart, thank you one and all for your kind words. I’m looking forward to wrapping this one up soon. Keep watching!

Torben? Is that you?

Ugh, where you found that pic? Those were my days as brothel manager. Quit the job 'cause all the moaning and screaming sidetracked me from modeling.

Somewhere along the castle wall in Nuremberg...

Ok, I’m working on getting this one wrapped up soon also. I don’t want to jinx myself by saying more than that. I’ve started putting stowage on the beast. Photos show some unit tanks with a improvised rack on the left fender for holding ammo cans, so I scratched one up from rod and strip styrene, and filled it with some .30 and .50 ammo cans.



I also began adding soft stowage onto the turret and hull. The right side is almost done. I’m trying 5 minute epoxy for attaching the stowage so I don’t get any fogging like with CA. I used heavy foil for the pack straps. I need to go back and touch up the paint that flaked off when I bent the straps over the attachment points.

[Stuart]

Good to see this on the bench again - the stowage looks great!

[Stikpusher]

Thank you Stuart. Once I get that stowage all on, it’s just some quick work after that...
Although I must say that working with epoxy for the first time here certainly has its learning curve.

Looks very...”tanky to be sure. You are at experience level in these. Soft storage look great!
