While packing up my Sherman to take home for painting..... I decided to start this Tamiya StuG....Got the build Part almost completed. If all goes to plan, I'll have two finished this week.

That would be a nice choice Hubert... Had to look it up.

I really like this aircraft and will be following. Great start so far.

Oh that's very cool ! Didn't know those were available yet !

I guess it was figured that they'd never be seen anyway.

I got that one as well.....Did you notice?....no brake or clutch pedals. Odd, but a very nice kit that I'm looking forward to building myself.

Some items....... Two tweezers One by Dspiae, their AT-TZ01 point tip tweezers. The other set by Regine...A Swiss Company. I saw these on Amazon and I had some Amazon points to use. Both Tweezers are good quality....The Dspiae tweezers are a real bargain I think. I also got a reference book on M 10/36 tank destroyers. A bit disappointing, this one....more of a pamphlet, but some useful info. Again, purchase with Amazon points. A set of Eduard masks for the Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire. Last; a couple of Hasegawa "Egg Girl" resin figure Kits in1/12 scale. These are ones that are hard to find. They are long OOP. I found them on EBAY at reasonable prices. One,shipped from S. Korea came by Fedex in just 3 days....shipping was free !

Looks great! I remember trying to build that kit years ago........and failing miserably ! Nicely done!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Is that Milliput? I bought some to improve the deficiencies of a Dragon kit ( missing details on a motorbike crankcase) . Never used it. Does it work well?

Very nice build! Beautiful!

Oh, I have to see the direction this takes!

Looks amazing Carl!!

Looks amazing Dennis! Well done! Great subject and camouflage. Looking forward to see your work on the new Italeri kit.

Had an original Belgian high power for years ...an excellent pistol I did not know about the Springfield Armory one..cool addition to their line

Thanks. Yes, steel wool. It works very well in place of fine sandpaper, especially for contoured things like cannon barrels. Using the finest grades, it leaves a nice polished finish.

Very nice build!

Trying to recover from a wounded mojo, I'm building this Tamiya Sherman.....This is one of Tamiya's recent "single motor" kits. Yes, it's silly....Just a bit of fun, but it is a step ahead towards a return to modelling after some health issues.

On Monday, these came......... Some Mr Color paints for future Egg Girl endeavors. A set of three paint brushes from AIT. Decals from Star Decals ; decals for Comet Tanks used by Ireland, Finland, Burma, Cuba, and South Africa for my Tamiya kit.

The merriest Christmas and happiest New year to one and all !

Thunder Model also makes some German WW II boxcars including This one; https://www.scalemates.com/kits/thunder-model-35902-gueterwagen-gr--1145460 I have this one in my stash...it just looked interesting. It is very detailed.

Hope you do.....I would like to see one of those being built!

Love it! I recently made one in 1/35, but yours is just plain cool!

Had to look close to see the frames! Tiny!

I think Trumpeter is the only Swordfish in 1/32. The 1/48 Tamiya Swordfish is very nice.
