Gentlemen! Thank you very much, the wait and work goes on. Tonight, I remembered the exterior Fire Extinguisher handles and did a little fiddly work with them. After that, I played with Stowage, got a couple of ideas and am shopping online for new crates. There is a little news on the original ETO Schumo Warehouse shipment. The Post Office may have found it in Atlanta. We'll see, hopefully. Pics:

I was on the road all day yesterday so nothing got done. Nothing has arrived for the Schumo Shipment yet but some things I ordered while waiting are showing up. Today, I have one of those extra items in hand and it was a perfect and relaxing time to do an upgrade on ol' Joe. Pics:

Carl!, Thank you, Doc. It's not completely accurate but the upgrade adds to Joe without altering his 'Joe-ness'. The mail brought another part of the Stowage today, a couple of Tamiya Pershing sprues from AAF on the East Coast. I put one together this afternoon, painted and weathered it for the M36B1 and put the other sprue into spares. The Schumo stuff is close now. I'm excited to get this one completed and move onto another anticipated build. Pics:

Fantastic work. I was looking for just the bits you acquired from the tank museum. Very cool

Good morning, Gentlemen!
Carl, AAF has these in stock for some 4.00 a sprue + shipping. You are much closer to the site than I so shipping should be even cheaper. Soeren, thank you very much. ;o) Some new stowage should be arriving today, hopefully the big tarp these vehicles used as a cover in the summer countryside.
regards,
Painless

Carl!,
Almost there. A couple of detail parts to add once they arrive then bundling all the stowage and adding weathering to the tank. Some amazing stuff yet to come!
regards,
Painless
