Well Matt it's alot to do with lack of funds that inspires me to scratchbuild, also the enjoyment I get out of creating something from nothing. I look at something and think this could be made to look like this or that.

The running gear was given to me by a Beta tester of the FOA half track. Panzerwerk sells the track links, road wheels and sprockets separately

My 250 I have backdated to a 253 and it is finished I had it on my club's diorama at Old Fort York on June 12th/2010. The Toroonto Modelers Society had their big show there again this year and we were invited to come and display again this year. The club OOSC(ttawa One Sixth Club) won 4 awards agin this year. One was a gold award for my scratchbuilt Brengun Carrier. There are pics of the diorama on the Sixth Army Group Forum.
Yes I do most of my work on the diningroom/kitchen table... LOL
