thank's saxondog this link http://www.alanhamby.com/tiger.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; i have seen and look up from time to time wasnt to sure on the unit history and how that worked have'nt decided on what unit im going to do i do paint a lot of flame's of war model's and that is the german side because they seem to have more good looking fire power and they were brutal and if it was'nt for them going in to russia first my self i think we would have lost but thats a hunch very usefull info just have to put my painting up to scratch and put the fine detail on more i tend to leave that part out

when looking up info about weathering i read up on that towards the end of the war that paint was running out so they had to use what was in the feild for camo
so as i was doing the mud around the track guard's was looking where i might of settled
so started to add static grass that just stuck right on no glue needed
and this is what i came up with
all i need to add now is the winter effect some static snow

After up grading the track's and sproket's and ideler's
i up graded the gearbox to metal gears run them for 4 days and worn them out have marked where they have gone
so have gone for the brass gearbox now just have to wait for them to arrive
then have to put my thinking cap on to modify to get them to fit
i know it has to have a metal plate in to hold the brass gearbox how is a good question
am open for idea's on how to do this
