Ad Lav,
Thank you, Sir! I applied the Zimmerit overlay to the next panel last night. This should go exponentially quicker now that the tracks are done.
regards,
Painless

Test mule is looking ace. When it is finished, send it over to Modler for motorisation.

Good Afternoon
Step 8 complete (after an arduous 2 man search for the bow Mg ball which had dropped from it's Mount and vanished into the Blue). Parts ordered for the 1/16 scale tank.
regards,
Painless

Good Evening all,
Steps 9 and 10 in the bag. Looking over the hard line camo option available for this tank, I went back over the camo job I did for the Crackerbox Palace build for a walk down Memory Lane. The Paintjob for the KT would be a lot less complex but the hard line look is growing on me.
regards,
Painless

So what are you considering for the fenders for the Biggun? Fenders or fenderless? I love the look of the King sans fenders. Looks much meaner not as squat.

Good Morning,
I'm one of those boring 'Depot Fresh' builders so it will be full fenders all the way around. I may get metal ones from Mato ( though I know we have been cautioned to keep costs to a minimum) or just cut the existing ones into separate pieces up to the mounts.
regards,
Painless

Brass would be nice, but expensive.
I cut mine into sections on the Tiger I to look more realistic.

"though I know we have been cautioned to keep costs to a minimum": actually I had intended only that none of us feel that one must compete beyond our budgets and that we will respect builds. And that's just the great way this Winter group build is going.
Of course, in my case...oops!
Oh, as to "out the factory door" builds: I like all kinds. After all, somebody has to have an example of what the AFV looked like before Herman Bix got at it.
