Good morning, Joe,
Thank you, sir. I should have the StuG complete by this week's end as long as the markings show up. I'll start the 1/6 Stuart right away then and be ready to go back to 1/16 by early Spring I figure.
regards,
Painless

Our neighborhood is full of kids. Often the enterprising little ruffians will make the rounds, go home, swap costumes and come back out again. I'm not interested in the Hurly-Burly of neighborhood yard decoration contests. Our set up is pretty mainstream and only seems to frighten the very youngest of our visitors. *chuckles* And no, I wouldn't trust my tanks out at night around children stampeding from house to house. ;o)

How about some Dragon's teeth with pillboxes that have firing mechs in them

...I know Halloween was one of my favorite days of the year...not so much now...things have changed quite a bit ...now days most kids flock to the malls where it's a tad safer than going house to house

Another Fleamarket find from this past Saturday to add to the growing kit for the Sturmtiger. Pics:

I like those last two pictures, Painless. Looks like he's got his own 1/6 tank behind him....

Fantastic. Love the Sturms. Are you going to be IR?

Off topic, did you ever make it down to the Front Range Armor Group this summer?

Sassgrunt,
You're reading my mind. I was just looking at the figure with the tank behind him and comparing the scales and laughing. He's got his own 1/6 scale Stuart! ;o)

Palepainter,
I briefly considered a 6mm paintball set up but yeah, IR it's going to be, mated up with an IBU2. Thinking on some method to do two or three simultaneous Xenon flashes. ( If possible ) Only to the extent of looking through the fence. Still a thing to do...
regards,
Painless

Got a neat lil' piece of research in last night for the upcoming Spring Sturmtiger build. Dragon really does a bang up job with detail and paint on their 1/72 pre-built diecast. I really like the late war paint on this one. Pics"
