Are you close?

No mate thats a 3 hour flight & ticket prices to get me an entire new collection of tanks !!
Plus I would have been a drooling creepy old guy gawking at her in a sea of 16 year old kids

Brigadier Bix, Was Sydney any closer?
She was there this week.

Where is the Gold Coast? West???

Yip Sydney is a one hour flight.
Lots of people missed it due to flights being canceled or delayed due to bad weather so some panicked and drove the 950 kms to try and make it !!

michaelwhittmann: have you made any progress on this Panther? Did the goodies come yet?
HERMAN BIX: it has been a few months since one of your offspring sprung a something-or-other. I the healing going well?

Progress Yes. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Here are the pictures.

Went for a Panzer Lehr in Normandy theme.

I'm like 85% happy with it. Every tank I get and work on
I learn a little more. I guess that's the point.

You have used a light, but good touch on the weathering. It looks like a Panther recently put into service, but definitely not out the factory door. You have kept the stowage light, too. As I understand, that is typical for a German tank. Will the heavy rope be used for something?

Thx. I was going for a "less is more" philosophy. I don't like the Daimler-Benz look.
And some of my previous tries; I may have been guilty of " more is more".

The rope is a contingency against the marquis, or partisans, or the French resistance.
You slow me down by cutting a tree; you gotta be prepared to pay the price.
