Its nice mate................we are discovering we have waaaaaay too much crap !!
Umm, most of it mine apparently!!
You should see the tank boxes stacked in the Mrs's wardrobe
I will admit the King Tiger is very tempting to get on with next, but I really need to do them in order or there shall be chaos !!
The munitionsschlepper then the StuG III then the KT..............then a Panther G with a twist !(not bought yet)

Oh, thats not my stuff, the link was one I liked when searching.

Im pretty proud of the set up though, its better than the last place but I dont have doors on the media room............
the little miss likes "looking" at the chickens on the Jagd base now so it seems

Got the now all to familiar hairy stick out(calm gentlemen, calm )
Set about blending in the recently added track tow cable mounts into the hull.

Used a blend of flat brown, red brown, flat black unthinned and mixed.
Wet the brush & dried it a bit on my paint tray................
Then did a new thing..................dabbed the brush on my tongue
This seemed to assist in spreading the paint pigment out and also absorbing existing paint , covered pretty well and I guess acted like a bogan form of filter
All this is prior to final weathering & sealing etc, and sure did make a difference.
Bit of an odd taste, but I can sort that by Old Number 7

Tank looks great Herman.... hows the tongue ...that's what we would find the most interesting

Pretty surprised she let you store tanks in the house period ...That's a fine woman you got Herman
Nice to see you have priorities ....Be nice to see the KT done first... that way you can make the schlepper match... then make a huge diorama for both of them
But you da man with the plan ... schlepper first.. schlepper we shall look forward to

That wasn't the House? .....for some reason it looked smaller than your old one...there was the pool... but the yard space looked limiting

ALPHA

Much bigger house(no door to media room) smaller yard with huge alfresco and pool(less to look after for my lawn guy) just does not have a junk nook if you get me..............no where to hide s#*t
As the visual apperance of tank building fits the above description, I feel a little put out !

Have to push on with 'Whitey' so the PzIII schlepper can come into the fray .............

Well, take it from me..............they put a lot of time into developing the paint to be an effective representation of authentic colours..............no time however was put into the taste of such effective paint IF somehow introduced into the human taste tract by mistake or by design
Cant say why I did it, but once done was too late, so just kept on.

P.S. the number 7 flushing solution did not quite remove all traces, no matter how much I tried

The log. Front with a chain, rear with a 'rope'
Not happy with the rope so chain this too shall be.
Have helmets to secure, track cable to place, a bit more snow material and I'm going to call it.
Display base will be a toss up between the pictured house ruin, and a simpler alternative. Just have to see how it goes.
