I get back to the world on the 20th for 8 days, then out for a month so the victa will need to be finished .
The tracks will be a bit fiddly as I want a mix of winterketten and standard . The winter tracks I have will not pin to the PZ iii tracks so yet to get that sorted.
Could be that I will break off most of the snow cleats leaving a few.
Not sure

I don't where to put this but they recover a Stug off the ground in rather good shape. There seems to be some bullet holes on it. The tracks and wheels are still moveable.

Yes, that video is enthralling.
Amazing to find it so intact.
I did plan this as the subject for the Pig build, but as I had already done a winter tiger and munitionslepper pzIII I decided to go for a less wintery look.

Good vid Mr Kaiser.
I was also lucky to see the StuG in the Littlefield collection in '13 .
The thing was immaculate .
I am now counting down the days to get back home, introduce myself to those strangers living in my house, and unwind on my tank!

The Munster house !
Cheers mate, I am looking forward to getting home, but things changed today so I won't be able to leave before the 23rd and then only for 4 days.
She is not happy

Aah but the thought of an entire tent protruding from my ejection port is fear enough to risk unemployment before missing that day, I can assure you !!

Well lads, I'm back. Got a priceless 8 days home.
Sneaked home in a ute late last night, took 7 and a half hours. Landcruisers are not designed for long distance travel(ask my flat ass!)
Came up the side of the house by the pool & scared the she-ite out of the wife & teenage son
Mrs was under the impression I was out delivering a new radiator to a rig site !
It was gold

Got a bit done today as the ole "life goes on while you're away" thing carried on with dance class for the youngest & kindy for the oldest(of the youngest) and work for the oldest two

Secured all the spare track sections & the lower glacis T-34 section. Rusted them up as required, and added the mud formula.
Bunged on the rear deck stowage(yet to dirty that up) and now only need to do the tracks & tow cables.

Herman,
Just watched a movie entitled "WarPigs" It was a decent flick. I gladly say that your 'KriegSchwein' is much better in production and presentation. ;o) Happy Holidays!, my friend.
warm regards,
Painless

I've not seen it Mr Painless. I appreciate the kind words.
This one has actually been , to be honest, my most fun so far. Its not followed any set direction, has had a few woopsee moments and has delivered on the over all concept.
There is a little bit to do still, the tarp for the gun block, a few odds & ends, plus the unmissable bucket(which is ready painted)
The Mrs had a friend over for an xmas kiddy-group thing, so I graciously excused myself to the outdoor inferno & painted the tracks.
After twisting up most of the snow blades, the brew of copper, gun metal and this time, hull red went on.

Got them fitted and tensioned(not to happy with the left side-might need to lose a link) & took a burn around the house.
Back on the turntable tonight & hit the tracks with pigment and pastels mixed with diluted white glue.
This thing is dirty let me tell ya
Pics as soon as I can get a bit of quiet time

Forgot one
