    Thanks Rob! He didn't eat the Sherman, just a love bite. Thanks Gaz! The box is supposed to be the wooden jack box but the wood effect is a bit too orange. I might try to tone it down. I didn't think about annealing the wire until after I had glued on the ends like you did. Maybe next time.

    Great progress Ernie. The silver looks good and glad to hear it passed the tape test. If you run out of the MM stuff, this might be another option for you. Carl

    Happy birthday Ernie!

    I got the bogies assembled over the weekend. I used the fixed plastic spacers instead of the foam ones as the rubber ones let the bogies at the end curl up with too much track tension. Once dry, I glued them to the lower hull.

    Rob, I'm still learning to like olives so my martinis tend to be neat. Thanks Phil! I like having the mix of road wheels on my Shermans and it's been something I've done on most of them.

    I finally painted and added the tools to the Jagdpanther. I couldn't get the tow cables to work for me. They're wire and I couldn't get them to fit suitably so I left them off for now. I gave the model a coat of weathering powders and with that, I'm calling it finished.

    Thanks Mike!

    Thanks Martin! I always wanted to build the Dragon one when it first came out but never got around to getting one. Then the Meng kit came out and I decided to try it instead. Thanks Harv!

    So very nice John. I'd have a hard time doing any weathering to it too.

    Indeed it is.

    My last one was last year. The Tamiya kit with a slat wing conversion. Here's the one before that:

    I'll have to try it again. My first attempt did not get me happy results.

    Maybe we can convince Hornby they need to downscale for us. Since Airfix won't ever do 1/32 aircraft, they could use it to launch a new brand ....

    Let me try, emphasis on "try", to finish some of the other kits on my bench first and you have a deal.

    That's great news! Thanks for sharing. KASL is coming out with the counterweight used on the F-5F as well. Carl

    I'll be along for the ride. Can't have too many F-4s. If it's any consolation Harv, I started my F-4G conversion about that long ago and I think you're further along than I am. Carl

    It's technically my bench but definitely my son's model: Edward is using my Eclipse to paint his dino model with Model Air paint. He has fewer runs in it than I sometimes get.

    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...

    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.
