    Thanks Phil, I don't think I could be without a dog or cat in our house. As for fur stuck in everything, I'm still it sure how I don't have more of it stuck in my paint jobs.

    That's in my stash. At least it's the right scale...

    Gunfighter!

    I like this one as they can be kids watching the troops go by.

    That's one way to describe a Calico cat. Another is to say they're nuts When I was talking to our vet about our cat and how she behaves, the vet said: "Well, she's a Calico...." And that was it. Here's my two bench companions in a moment of solitude.

    You'll end up at best like this: Or learning to work with one in your lap. Who needs a carpet monster now?

    With two boys in elementary school, it sadly hits a bit too close to home.

    Hors d'oeuvres anyone? With a coat of rubber black.

    I've never built a Panzer IV so this will be interesting to watch.

    I got a bit more done tonight. I sprayed a flat coat over the decals. Looks like they were able to confirm to the surface nicely. I then installed the periscopes into the roof. The roof up to now wasn't glued, nor was the main gun. I then started the weathering process with an application of brown panel line wash. Once dry, I'll do some dry brushing.

    Thanks Gaz! Thanks Ryan!

    I haven't tried using filters before but I will use a wash on it. Especially with the surface texture thanks to the zimmerit. The Sherman isn't that small thankfully.

    Great progress there Martin. Can't wait to see you work on the base.

    Harv, the bench will be there when you're up to it. That Horten conversion is not the easiest beast to wrangle. I really wish they had done it in plastic and not resin. Carl

    Heathens! But alas they are kids and know not what they're missing

    Those mirror mounts are much better Martin. Probably stronger too.

    Girls und Panzer is a Japanese anime series. All I know is that instead of the usual collegiate sports like basketball, it's tank on tank combat. How the teams aren't killed is beyond me.

    I'm: 1) extremely jealous and 2) really hungry now

    I'd be right in line behind you!

    If that was in Tokyo, you'd have enough to buy a new car at least.

    Martin and Phil, this is a rebox of the Tasca VC kit. https://hlj.com/1-35-scale-girls-und-panzer-der-film-sherman-firefly-saunders-university-high-school-plzgp-36 You just need to find more appropriate decals and it's cheaper than the regular boxing at the moment.

    Ok, spoke too soon. It seems they've sold out since I checked on the weekend.

    Martin, I'm having fun at the moment so I'm going with it. Tasca are the best Shermans on the market in my opinion. Lucky Model has the Firefly Vc on sale at the moment with an extra 20% on top. I'm tempted to grab another but my favourite is the hybrid 1c.

    I let my boys play hookey from school this morning and go see the celebratory parade for the Toronto Raptors winning the NBA championship. After all, a Toronto sports team winning a title, nevermind championship is almost a once in a lifetime event. So when we got back, I started on the Sherman with the lower hull. It's the standard flat pack format Tasca uses. And builds up without any issues. Next up are the wheels for the boogies. That's it for the moment.

    As I'm nearing the end of my Jagdpanther build, I thought about what I should try next. I had a couple ideas batting around before settling on this one. There hasn't been too much allied stuff in this GB so I figured I might as well. Plus it comes with D-Day markings in the box. They're in there somewhere...
