will you open a small round ammunition hatch at the back next to the large gate? I did it on the meme and it's a nice effect, I had in mind to pull the main weapon with a pull as a spring effect when firing and slipping, a small hatch would burst with a spring

LK88, Good Morning! No ammo hatch but I am considering making the Gunner's Scope hatch workable. Will see. This vehicle will be a runner so the number of things that will catch, open and catch or just plain fall off has to be considered. Here are a few hours worth of evening time spent working on the Jagdpanther ( along with beginning to get the 'Queen of the Elves' ready to paint )

Jimster! Herman!
Thanks for looking in! A few extra things I overlooked for the Engine Deck, the Rear Bulkhead and some periscopes then I can start with Primer, Paint and Markings ( and figures )
regards,
Painless

A small Update this evening ( Health has been weird since the last one ) that involves finishing up the Engine Deck, using a magnet on the Driver for the Sherman and making a small start on the rear armor details.

Having just encouraged Herman on the building of Details for our tanks, I find myself waiting for the delivery of a Voyager set to make the Stowage Bins usable. ( or at least more realistic ;o) The thing I really want to have show up is the micro board plugins so I can hook up a convoy light on the Jagdpanther. Those have just arrived in the US from China so hopefully soon.
regards,
Painless

The Stowage Bins brass showed up last Saturday so I got busy on it in between everything else that eats up my time. A Laugh before the Pics show up here. Last night, the Mate got out of bed and tripped over one of the Dogs. He yelled out "JESUS!" to which his iPhone immediately replied, "Thas Right! Innit!?" (He has Siri set to a male Aussie voice) ... I laughed so hard I had to go and get a Drink before I hurt myself. ;o)
