Do you know I got this as a card when I was a kid?

Happy Birthed on day Mr. Wolf.

Good Morning
Thank you for the Birthday Wishes, guys. Older but definitely no wiser. Tracks are coming along for the 1/35 version. I have picked out a paint scheme and should have the model completed this month. Come January, I will start the fun of matching up the really old HL King Tiger to the scale model...

Happy birthday Mr Wolf. Looking forward to your 1/16 build .Regards John.

John!
Thank you, Sir! I tried to get more time in on the tracks after work today but it was Grocery Day and then Laundry Day. *chuckles* I will try again tomorrow.

OUCH! "Do you know I got this as a card when I was a kid?" Thanks a lot, MrChef! I gave that card to my sister when I was in my mid-thirties.

Belated happy birthday. Cannot wait for the main build to start.

Good Evening,
Paint mule not finished ( some existing health issues popped back up ). The Holidays and health issues are past so on with the Build. I considered stopping the Paint Mule portion but it _would_ be helpful to to see what the selected Paint Scheme would look like with my limited Airbrush Skills. The Tracks are complete and mounted. Only the fact that these were T-Rex Tracks made this do - able ( for me ). Even then, thank the Modeling Gods that this 1/35 scale track set came with plenty of extra segments and pins. If I ever decide to do link and pin for smaller scales again, it will be a set made from metal like Spade Ace. Onwards,
regards,

Painless. I'm glad that you've been able to get past your health & holiday issues, and get back to the build. I never fail to be impressed with your "paint mule" strategy - not because it's a great idea for visualizing the end result, (which it is), - but more because when all of us are getting "senior eyesight" and gravitating to larger scale tanks, you persistently keep slogging away with the smaller stuff! Good on 'ya!

Sassgrunt,
Hello! It will be a pleasure to pull the 1/16th scale version of this tank off of the Display Cabinet and open it up. I'll have a good approximation of what I want it to look like and a short list of updates to modernize it. It will be a lot of fun to run out in the Rough again. I'll have to donate the old Lower and suspension arms to someone who needs them. ;o)
regards,
Thank you for looking in !

The mule is looking good
