Thanks Bubbajoe,I wondered how the Germans would do it,I have read different articles that seems to confuse more than resolve,but the Germans were pretty smart and efficient most times.So you in building a Tank would follow the factory method of Primer,Zimmerite,base color,camo pattern?

Bubbajoexx,that was very cool.I have seen sections of that video but not the whole thing.The barrel length is amazing up close,and when they fired just earth shattering.These guys were so young,but what a site to behold,could you imagine running into these guys on a farm road in a Sherman,instant death.And your milliput zimmerite looks great,must be tedious to make the pattern,I would think someone would make a tool? I will be watching your progress with interest,cheers Blake
