Wonderful work! Welcome to the forums.

I love that look! Patches and all! Eye catching! Gaz

Looking sweet!

This should be cool... All this Canadian stuff lately... I want some pancakes and maple syrup! ...with two fried eggs over-easy and a glass of orange juice.

Love it! Thanks for checking in, Buddy!

Somewhere on the floor is the intake for a flame dampener for my Dornier Do 217N build. I could have lost it weeks ago, inside or outside as the sprue has been on the verandah and at my modelling space. Hell... Kitty might have batted it into some dusty recess that hasn't seen daylight in months. Damn cats!

I'm sorry to hear about your parents and shithead sibling, Ernie!

Excellent! Love the pilot and the painting! Mui Bueno! Gaz

Amodel has some interesting stuff.... if you consider only the box art. I haven't yet taken the plunge.

Congrats to both of you! Wonderful models all!

All hail the uv gel!

A-hole? Really... I don't lack anything. The 1/16 scale Pz I will be welcome. I've never built one in any scale cuz they were just too tiny. I mean... I was recently thinking about a 1/35 BMW with sidecar and 2-man crew... but then I realized the whole contraption would be two inches tall by two inches long... Too small for fun!

Yes, though not as straight as I wanted.

Here in the Bogan area of Queensland, instant rules. At my house, International Roast. Cheap and easy. Some make an attempt at pretension, but at the local barista, it’s a selection of lattes and other creamy slop. No French Roast, my personal favourite. No selection of fine coffees for those who want a bit of flavour without a hefty dose of milk and or sugar. You want it black, you ask for a flat black. There are no other options for the sugarless, milk less devotee. We had a coffee machine for a while, but it fell out of use. Too much trouble when you can’t get the bean you want. Most of the time I’m happy with a coke.

Nothing better than hot breakfast in the field! Hot Spam, powdered eggs, tinned fried potatoes, cold toast, OJ in a waxed cardboard box, and the best hot black coffee of your life! Those were the days!

Some people will eat anything! I don’t see how adding some highbrow name to guts or animals the consistency of snot is considered fine quisine.

That pit looks great! Love the wiring behind the IP!

When I was in Desert Storm, I asked my father to send me a care package (which I paid for). In it was a bottle of Listerine. Some cookies, and thankfully a few tins of SPAM. The whole gun crew was very happy to turn over their MRE crackers to be made in to SPAM sandwiches. After four months of MRE's and hot meals that weren't much better than MRE's, everybody loved it. I still buy a tin of it occasionally for fast, easy sandwiches. Great with American Mustard! Never Underestimate the SPAM! Gaz

I'm not a big fan of any fictional genres. I think some of the original Star Trek ships might look cool to model with lights... but there is a lot more real stuff for me to model. Gaz

Thanks, mate! I’m certainly drawn to many of their unique designs. I draw the line at paper panzers and prototypes. I would much rather build stuff that saw action.

Thank you, Carl! It’s size really grabs you once you get the tracks and fighting compartment on. I gotta do some figures to get some scale to it.

Thank you, mate! I really intend to have some fun with the weathering. With most of the soft steel torn or shot away, the Zimmerit heavily damaged, as well as a few gouges from deflected shells. A lot of my plans come from the fact that the Machine looks best in my eyes with less skirting and no counterweight on the barrel.

Hi Rob, thank you! yes, I plan to do a wash on the upper surfaces to match the lower. The photos I have seen of the Sturmtiger show clean white metal. I imagine the matte coat will take care of any sheen. Gaz
