Glad to see it's resolved.

That's strange, I added a picture today and yesterday without any problems.

On my tablet, I just click on add files and I'm given a choice where to get the pictures from. I go to files, click on image I want , actually the text next to the image and it automatically loads on the site.

I got this today from a family member as an unexpected gift ! A suprise, because she doesn't always speak favorably of the Hobby! Anyway, we went together to a hobby shop in the town where I attended high school. I haven't been there in years.....thought the owner was dead, honestly. I recently heard It was still open and is being run by his son. Anyway I wasn't intending to purchase anything but she decided to buy me the kit. Well, the kit in question is Tamiya's Russian Heavy self-propelled Gun JSU-152 (35303). I've been looking for this kit for awhile, it's backordered at Tower and other sites (it is now back in stock at Sprue Brothers). Anyway, I'm looking forward to buildIng this big, purposefully ugly-looking, powerful, and intimidating vehicle. It has both link & length and "rubber band" tracks, clear parts, and photo-etch. The tracks can be built-up using A provided jig(s) to reproduce the sag between the return rollers.....clever. Yes, it's another addition to my un-built stash..but , this time, I'm not responsible!

I think it's a wonderful surprise whatever the scale, and I may be a purchaser.

I was surprised to see this today on The Modeling News. Both the scale and subject are unexpected. Very cool!

Cool! What make is that kit?

Sad news, Carl. Sorry for your loss.

Yes,........I think I must really need an intervention or....therapy. Next week I'll buy the Opel blitz from Tamiya having found the Archer transfers sheet for it .....then call it quits for awhile. There is also a Tamiya Marder based on the 38(t) chassis I'd like to build.

This came today: A next-day delivery from Tower Hobbies, Tamiya's Panzerjager "Jagdtiger" Sd.Kfz.186 Fruhe Production. (35295) in 1/35. This model features both link & length and vinyl tracks. Either choice looking pretty good. There's also some photo-etch, two "torso" figures and marking options for five vehicles in three-color camouflage all looking about the same to me. The long gun barrel is molded in halves.....so I ordered a replacement from Aber (ABM 35L84) which should arrive next week. This is another nice kit from Tamiya and I'm sure it will have perfect fit and engineering. A while back i bought an Iwata hi-line Hp-Bh airbrush with a .2mm needle and I've had great results with it.....and I'm eager to try it out on the German camouflage.

Great work! Can't even imagine making my own buttons for a figure in 1/35! I have AFV Club's sIG33 15cm Heavy Infantry Gun kit and it also looks pretty good. I'll be following.

Same here, I use both added to them, I use Tower Hobbies for all the Tamiya armor I've been getting lately. Because they're nearby, I get orders from Tower the next day with cheap shipping at under $4.00. (Fedex). I have to mention, I've had more trouble with UPS lately..... This time with a non-hobby related delivery. 2 failed delivery "attempts" with the same package. I was in front of my home as the delivery truck stopped at a neighbors home...delivered a package, then drove right by me. A moment later (A few seconds) I got a notification that There was a failed delivery "attempt". Apparently, the delivery did not want to contend with delivering the package which weighed about nine pounds. After spending a lot of time with Ups customer service, I arranged with them to deliver the next day asking the delivery to be left at my front door (I was at home) same thing... Failed " attempt ". Customer service again, complaint filed, arranged delivery. Third time got it.....but seriously? Really?.

Regards Wolf ,on your special day and I hope you'll enjoy your cake!

This finally came today. From Tamiya, its their 15 cm Schwere Panzerhaubitze 18/1 Auf Fahgestell Panzerkampfwagen III /IV (SF) (SD.KFZ.165) or more simply stated, Hummel. I previously got the metal barrel Tamiya sells for this kit. The kit looks great with Link & length tracks, some metal bits including screws, three figures, and even a screw driver.

Yes, as seen on tv.

Again, Thanks for fixing this!

Cool! I've had a couple of the Chinese mini lathes over the years and I used them to make parts and fittings for my live steam hobby. My most recent lathe has sat unused at my mother's house for a few years.... I haven't had a chance to do the work needed To tune the lathe to get it to work its best. Usually I work on the compound and cross slide to get them working smoothly. Never got the chance to do that. Maybe I'll do that This week. I'm dying to get back to that kind of work. The last work I did was to make a replacement chimney for an Empire b 30 steam engine I have. On the Empire engines, the chimney unscrews to fill the boiler and it also houses the safety valve.

Filler or putty?.....I've had my share....it ain't bad, but Velveta, haven't eaten it in years! Not since childhood in fact.

Will that be the Wing nut kit? That'll be a cool build!

When I was working as a stand-up comedian.... I used to put a slice inside of each of My shoes....... So that when I was onstage, I'd "feel funny". Oh, but that was A lifetime ago as they say.

Nice! I have a liking for the Little Polikarpov.....the same I have for all stubby aircraft. Wildcats, Gee-Bee racers, Brewster Buffalos and etc. Yours turned out great! Geez, in 1/72 those machine gun barrels must be nearly microscopic! I have some barrels for the M 1919 Browning in 1/35 and they seem ridiculously tiny! Very cool build! Thanks; Paul.

A lemon, or banana, or my AMX-13. Very nice, and pre-painted! Cool

Well, part of my recent order from Tower Hobbies came today. Some aftermarket for A kit I ordered from them. Usually, their shipments come the next day....but not this Time. The kit is Tamiya's recent Hummel, and it's being sent from their Ontario, California warehouse..... Not a good omen because we're talking FedEx here! Last time it took 2 weeks. Anyway, the aftermarket came! It's Tamiya's own replacement barrel for their Hummel, ( bumble bee in German). Their #12688 1/35 Scale German Hummel Metal Gun Barrel. It looks good, made of aluminum, with rifling it will make building the kit easier. A download of the instructions for the Kit shows a two-piece plastic barrel and eliminating the task of sanding and filling the two seams will add minutes to my existence !

Great work! I like the figure. Nice! All that rigging , if I had to do it,. would have me screaming, with the neighbors concerned and a visit from the police. A credit to your patience and skills. Impressive work to say the least!

This came from Amazon today: From Vision Aid its their Magnifier with LED light, Headband and 5 lenses and my Initial impressions are good. It's lightweight, comfortable, very adjustable and seems to work very well. Lens position and light position can be independently adjusted and the light has two levels for brightness. I like the fact that you can set it up so that the wearer can easily look over the lens for normal vision without needing to take the thing Off like I had to do with my other glasses. The thing is lightweight, so I'll have to see how well they'll hold up to use, but honestly, I doubt I'll have any problems with that. I tried Them out, looking over a Tamiya Sprue at 3.5x power and they worked great! The optics seemed very clear without the fish-eye lens distortion I had with my old glasses. The manual description states that they are a " A game-changer for close-up work". Hyperbole perhaps, but I think the might be right! Available at Amazon for $ 29.00 U.S.
