Worse still, we dont have a dolls - house - shop that we can just waltz into & take care of all our wildest hinged desires

It just busts my balls to see dolls house and Tank in the same genre
My only solice is that when you guys decide to fold up a front guard on one of your tanks, it will either cause a tune to be played or a bunch of flowers to be revealed

Now that's the stuff! *chuckles* Around here, according to the Mate, 'un'-hinged is more like it when it comes to me and tanks. ;o)

Nothing in the Post today. My knee is still too sore to resume Gym visits so I took the opportunity this afternoon to continue detailing the deck for priming and Paint. I ended up building the weird Toolbox over Jack Block mount out of brass and am satisfied that it looks no worse than the 1/35 Tamiya version as far as fit and appearance goes. ;o) Pics:

Paint, paint we need paint!!!

Mornin' Ed,
I agree. I'm at the point where I can prime and paint the deck now. I need to check the putty job on the HL tool mounting holes one more time then I can probably address it over lunch today. The casemate has work to be done with hatches, handles and attachments for the main gun before I can paint it.

Hot and sunny outside so I got out at lunch and primered and painted the Deck. ( I also redid the legs on the scratch built tool box mount from last night....yes, it bugged me just enough... ) Pics:

Looking great painless

Ed,
Thanks! A day to cure then back at it. ;o)

PS. peeking in on the progress

Alpha,
It's good to have you back here and commenting on this build. I know you have two StuGs in the works. Any progress reports on those? I know one of them is a resin/plastic Frankenpanzer like this one. ;o)

Hey there Painless...Long Story short...I think I overwhelmed myself...bought to many tanks for too many projects...it makes it hard to concentrate on one...when I did my T34..Kv2...the two Shermans...modding was easy...as I had each of them come at me one at a time...now I have about eight ...as I am working on one...for some reason I keep thinking of another...then another...it gets pretty congested thought wise ...as I know each idea will take a few hours to sort out...Have to find a way to simplify ...maybe block out ideas for other tanks
Hoping visiting the board helps sort thoughts out

Anyway...your's is really coming along...have you hooked up any of the internals ?

Happy Tanking
