If you remember, we Russians have a saying.
Russians never give up!
So let's build!
And I already have thoughts on how to make a basket for ME, but I will make oblique round sticks, I like them better....

[Herr Dr. Professor]

"You can only argue with the General when you're twirling his uniform button." OK you two, you got me! I cannot find anything on this aphorism. Is it translated from Russian? Bix, you seem to have recognized it. Is it too dirty to explain on RCTW?

I bet your stowage rack is going to be on a level that transcends normal mans skills. The angled version I felt beyond me and mine needed to be later as well.

I have a very good friend that is from Moscow.
She moved here at age 6 so I get a lot of such understanding of things from her . She was in the Australian Defence Force as well, thats where I have heard the term about the uniform buttons, she used it too on the odd occasion. And she has the credentials to twirl I assume the rough same meaning
I also worked for years with a welder from Bakhchysarai (at the time it was one happy family)that lived in New Zealand for 12 years then moved here, who lets say was "connected "here on the Gold Coast with Gentlemen that had alternative means of business.
Made some big nights on the drink I can tell you !!
Also in NZ I was a very active collector of Russian Firearms from 1899 to 1981 date range. A lot of time spent networking in the underbelly of such things including the odd nocturnal visit aboard fishing boats to go shopping ................hey, a collectors gotta do what hes gotta do to get what he needs eh !
We had a saying in the gun community for people from the Frozen land of the Tzars...............Tough Country= Tough People= Tough Weapons.

Ahh but that was another life, another time, that I probably have opened up too much on..................

[Pavel]

The main thing is not to overpraise, otherwise you can ruin everything...

A joke about a button.
The orders of the chief are carried out without discussion, quickly and accurately!
And only in the Israeli army, it is forbidden to twist the button on the colonel's uniform when discussing his order....

[HERMAN BIX]

She described it to me as you have to be 'special ' to be allowed close enough to the chief to argue the order and twirl the button!!

This thing for me is in a bit of a go=slow as I have man-illness, which we all know is so bad as to be almost deadly, and a touch of lost direction with it.
The turret is back together and the hull & cables are all secured so I should just begin modifying the various fittings to be a bit more detailed & get them on.

Any tips on crew figures that arent female ?
Seems to be that all that are available.

[Pavel]

Yes, I also only found women.......
We need a good artist for the figures, I think this will be a good gesheft for him..... Just change the heads of the figures!
I have friends at the company "3D Academy", I gave them the topic.... I think they just don't understand their benefit, there is a whole crew for the T-55, the price is decent, I don't understand why they don't want to.....
Someone else's soul - darkness...
