I was going to say that maybe the Commander could get a date with Kei but his heart really belongs to the French girl from Paris that he named his tank after. Maxene.

Jeff,
Good morning. ;o) Thank you very much! I can lay claim to all of the detail and paint work on Maxene but only the eyebrows on the Commander. (well, his canteen too *chuckles*) It is good to hear from you. Sir. I hope that your Panther G is near or at the completion point.
warm regards,
Painless

Alpha,
Unless it is possible to get Palepainter to embellish Maxene, it's a no go. It would cost a bank roll to fly Frynsdad over here with his tools or to ship Maxene there and back again. It is a great idea tho' I would like it if I could get Palepainter to replace my HL markings with real paint and use my birthday like he did for his *chuckles* The name 'Maxene' is already painted on using a foam stick and some flatwhite enamel. I like how it turned out like it had been brushed on.
regards,
Painless

Mr. Fiend!
Thank you for the kind compliments. I learned a trick on the Forum here and using a 3M product, some clear, thin, removable double sided tape, I made blocks of the stowage, turning 14 separate pieces into 2 large segments. I did the same up front, attaching the oil can, small pack and the crate to the stowage plank and the roll to the metal track segments. I tested and am good so far. I will keep an eye on it all. ;o)
regards,
Painless
