Einfach jaw-dropping, Jürgen :clap: :clap: . Many here, I'm sure, find themselves spellbound by Louis' (Imcq11's) masterpieces, but this is certainly up there with the best we have yet seen :clap: :thumbup:
Halftrack of the Month? :thumbup:
Whatever happened to the beautiful Panther you were building, by the way? :D

Herr Dr. Professor wrote:What a masterpiece. From the late 1800s to the 1960s, German immigrants to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US, built and ran machine shops that served so many purposes, all with great ingenuity. You are heir to such remarkable skill even in miniature.

So ein Meisterwerk! Vom Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die 1960er Jahre bauten und betrieben deutsche Einwanderer nach Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, mit großem Einfallsreichtum Maschinenwerkstätten, die so vielen Zwecken dienten. Der Erbe solch bemerkenswerter Fähigkeiten, selbst im Miniatur, sind Sie!
:D German immigrants to the British Isles, with an infusion of Vikings, also created: the English language, England, (and- along with their now Celtic kinsmen) ultimately, the:
Industrial Revolution, Railways, America, Australia, Canada, and the largest Empire the World has ever known. For good or ill, that is. I'd argue good, on balance, even from North of Hadrian's Wall. :D
Many may be unaware of it, but the delusional demon Adolf was proud of, and astounded by, the achievements of this Germanic offshoot. :shh: Not the greatest of testimonials, admittedly, :shifty: but a fact, nonetheless.

Engineering skills and innovation, certainly seem to be part of the genetic inheritance of North Europeans. Something we should celebrate. :thumbup:

In this bad weather there is no better place than in the hobby room... ;D
Today we had to work hard again, the brackets for the tarpaulin had to be bent and fixed all around the flatbed:

A Notek tail light made and a "stirrup" for the tailgate:

The cover can be moved on the Notek....

The driver has completed his basic and driving school training and reported for duty today, so he was allowed to have a test seat right away:

After a short hobby break, I'm slowly getting back to work.
The driver has been covered in paint and the dashboard has also received some...
