LOL....I noticed you made the bucket dirty :shifty: ....but I have to say.....in comparison to the STUG....that bucket is awful clean :haha: :haha: :haha:
All could be explained....a member of the crew just got back from gathering some water..........to wash his hands after climbing on that PIG ;)

:haha: :haha: :haha:

Excellent , work turned out fantastic the weathering looks awesome :thumbup: :think: do you have ladle spoons in the bucket :haha:
Cheers mate, yes xmas day was an endurance test alright. The mother in law likes to take over, but in my house the kitchen is mine and is defended ferociously . I'd had three Coronas by 0900 and was flat out getting all the stuff sorted for the 1200hrs kick off.
$300 worth of prawns, 2 mud crabs and 2 crayfish on a bed of seafood salad, plus I had the smoker going for fresh green lip mussels from NZ on the go, cheesecakes x 2 , a massive trifle and other stuff I can't remember !!
When she arrived & waltzed straight in and began rummaging around for things , standing in the way, and then offering handy hints ! Well I lost my shit and pissed off to the tank table with a jack Daniels !
Then it began !!
So once the tears had been wiped away and I was cordially invited to complete the mission, all the food was a hit.
Honest to god- why does a simple event take on an entirely different trait once relatives get involved EH ????

I'm really chuffed with the Pig, it's been fun, plus it's runs well.
Now for the workspace cleanup and its T34/85 time

Herman,
Sorry to hear about the 'relative' brouhaha. Glad it all got sorted and the Pig is pretty much done and running! ;o) StuGs are amazing. I've got a 1/15 'F' in resin laid back for a rainy day build. It's static but that just means more detail ;o) Happiest of Holidays again, Herman. Take care and
regards,
Painless

:haha: :haha: :haha: Sounds like Negotiations went out the door lol...at least Jack assisted in making it a fun productive day....As you can never rule out rule number 1 in Matrimony ....Never argue with the MIL...you're already outnumbered from the get go :haha: :haha:

Might there be a redo of the Schlepper? ...Now that you got the curse of the PIII quashed....perhaps Pig that one out and have a matching set ;)

Cheers Mr Painless, yeah, the ole M.I.L. knows better but still does it anyway :/

The STuG has been a blast. Real fun. It sure does look a pig of a thing getting around !
I've dragged out the T34 onto a clean bench & it really looks out of place.
Honestly dont know where to start...............rip it to bits I guess.

My thing is a DO argue with her...............I married the daughter, not her..............order your own long suffering husband around, but you got no show with me.

The schlepper will remain the way it is, it and the white tiger make a good pair.
I am however having a space issue now.
That could have a severe curtailment of my fleet :problem:

Pros and cons to that....You make the little woman have to take sides ...learned that the hard way myself....as once the company had left...a new "discussion" (heated :thumbdown: )would begin...found the best strategy after that was to have everything done...ready to serve....That way fine...I get maid service plus a dishwasher if I'm lucky :haha: :haha:

Haven't seen that in awhile...just remember you not being too happy with the result ..but if it's done it's done ;) ...Space is always the issue with these tanks...reason I too have to be very selective in enlarging my fleet as well...also part of the reason I am hesitant to get more Modern tanks...the M1 took more space than I thought it would....I have five more on the burners ...which gives good reason for me anyway...to stay away from the Chally ...The T90 might be a different story though lol

Cheers Mr Scalawag, I was looking this morning actually and realised I have not fitted any Helmets at all !
The only tank so far that does not have one is the Octopus King Tiger so I must get one on !

No its not a time out area, they just know if Im sittin on my ass tanking and getting my JD on, instead of doing the normal xmas morning cheer thing - then its not a good situation.
A couple of whispers in ears, then a few more then the "make a scene" then the get the F out or do it yourself response, all became calm :/ :haha:

Yeah, thats part of what I love about me, I'm always a hit at big occasions :/

Once I get back I will get a couple of helmets worked up and fitted, then do a show off on it.
I looked for the Zu Fuss and its a thread unfinished as yet !! I honestly thought I finished the thread, but not quite.
Would it be a bit much to have three on the go at once !!??
Should really do the last posts on the Zu Fuss, then its show off, then the Stug so Im completed.
Unfinished build threads hack me off :problem: especially if they are mine ;)
