LOL....I noticed you made the bucket dirty ....but I have to say.....in comparison to the STUG....that bucket is awful clean
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

Re: "KRIEG-SCHWEIN" STuG III
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.Kiaser wrote: Mr H Bix you have done it again outstanding you even survived Christmas Day
You must be exhausted
Excellent , work turned out fantastic the weathering looks awesome do you have ladle spoons in the bucket
$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

Re: "KRIEG-SCHWEIN" STuG III
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

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.

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

Re: "KRIEG-SCHWEIN" STuG III
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 )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 luckyHERMAN BIX wrote: 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.
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 lolThe schlepper will remain the way it is, it and the white tiger make a good pair.

Re: "KRIEG-SCHWEIN" STuG III
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.Kiaser wrote: Goodness me the in laws that takes ten years off your life phew you made it
Exceptional feast Mr HB I would leave you to it , Whilst Placing my feet up with the tv remote ......... .
Just remember the tank corner is not the time out area , Next year if you have to endure this again get them to peel the prawns .
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
Im at work over the new year caper so no chance of a repeat at least

Re: "KRIEG-SCHWEIN" STuG III
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 especially if they are mine
