Thanks Mr Wolf, it's been a long build one I am now proud of & happy with.
Bucket, helmets, and minor other bits & I will call it done.
Really liking the black & white option on this phone camera!!

Now Herman, posting pictures of real ones and saying you built them is cheating Stunning build! Could I request some colour pictures of the finished article?

Awesome! easily my favourite WWII German AFV, I'll be getting round to my Torro JT soon. My other JT has all it's track guards etc. intact so the Torro will lose some of hers as I think the exposed tracks emphasise the brutish feel of these beasts.

I'll certainly copy some of the things you've done.

Just been reading earlier posts. I made my shell cases using thin brass sheet, cut to size and soldered with a circular section for the base, they were fairly easy to do as the shape and taper of the case is minimal, when soldered I just used metal black for solder and for brass and they give a decent representation as I think the originals were steel with a brass "wash", they are the same colour as my original KT shell; I will look for the dimensions for you.

I also turned a basic shell out of aluminium which I plan to copy in epoxy when I get round to making a mold from the master. If anyone is interested in these I'm happy to do a short production run.

Regards, David.

Cheers Mr Tiggr, it really is a no-frills unit, all gun, no personality

Got to say, it really does run the best of all my tanks.
The piss-farting around getting the cut & tuck right seems to have paid off.
Hes sitting idle now waiting for buckets, jerrycans, & dust(despite the actual dust put on over the day out)ammo for the rear MG etc etc, so just a touch more to bung on before I truly call it done.
Got to get on with Mr Reapers pantherturm bunker though, its the least I can do for the bloke.

Had a shit few days here though...............daughters car needs rego, and a thermostat, and I have a %^$%#$@#n toothache(which is only going to go one way )so my fiscal flux capacitor has oscillated about its periphery sufficiently to cause an anomaly in the time-space continuum...............dentist
Im in the wrong job
