Herman!
Thank you for looking in. Better has been done in the Past ( even sometimes by me ) ;0) Just dressing up this very old HL Tank a little bit more. Not too much Brass since it will be a Runner again once I am done.
regards,
Painless

Thanks! The Stuart is just a Tank I can run and have fun with. I kept the Detailing to a minimum for it on purpose. Mr. Hearn, I don't doubt that he is together with his Hounds of Renown on some RC Tankers version of Fiddlers Green! He was a good guy.

I bought a lot of stuff from Bob the detail was brilliant the postage because it was via the USA was horrendous,
I was saddened when I read on RCU of his passing, :(
Good people like him always have a special place in my thoughts.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Jarndice!
Time is not our Friend always. Fortunately, most of the People met going down that Road seem to be. ;o) I've grown a lot since coming to RCTW and meeting everyone here and connected to here.
Thanks again, Sir,

Good Afternoon,
Detailing more of the Upper. Today's fun was installing a couple of those plexiglass periscopes up front. HL provided openings under the guards but they are not to scale. I cut a couple of spacers from plastic struts and mounted the periscopes in them. Basic painting and those periscope hatches look better. Not much done inside the Upper since those hatches are not being opened up. I saved the nice 3D printed periscopes for the new KT on this Dual Build. Jury is still out on opening up those Hatches on that Tank.
regards,
Painless

Good Afternoon,
Work is coming along on the Engine Deck. Drilling out that Support on the Hatch was *fun* The last time I did that, the Hatch on the Jagdtiger opened and accessing the part was much easier. Some lifting hooks and then miniature brasswork followed. Still more to come.
regards,
Painless

Good Morning Tom!
Thank you, Sir. The Size of these Pics from the Camera on my Phone do not leave a lot of room for error. Altho' fitting within MB limits for the site, I need to drop the size as displayed. I am not that able a Modeler to have this much of my work up for scrutiny. ;0)
(Especially Brass work)
