New technique...something that us mere mortals can achieve??? I will watch and listen with much interest (doesn't mean I'll be able to do it though :blink: ) See you Friday night.

OUT FRIGGEN STANDING :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

**Update - my Panther is at 95% - have done a couple of 'all nighters' like i used too on my dioramas before a competition or show! So I should be bringing in some strong coffee net weekend? :java

Ok, last post for a couple of days.... So insides all done. After much research on what colour the interior should be, white or green, I went with the sky green option. Now just deciding on some bits and pieces to fill it. Wont be having the engine cover open, so have not worried about...

Thanks gents. So continuing on with the sub-assemblies, we have the roof panel. The engine cover / radiator. Rear door. Cupola and 50cal. And finally, with all the assemblies dry fitted. Really not a fan of this dark green plastic....

Ok, so while waiting for the photo booth to turn up, I have carried on with the build. Have also had the problem of our council deciding to do some "gentle pruning" of the embankment outside our property, using one of these. Unfortunately, our phone line was where they decided to trim, so...

http://stores.ebay.com.au/HLStudio?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Link to Ebay post. Not sure if this seller posts overseas, but I would think the product comes from Asia somewhere. Pete

From good old Ebay....

Quick, almost pointless update.... Date stamp And that is all for the moment... Construction has begun, but I am waiting for this to turn up before posting. Lets see if it is worth the whole $33 spent on it. :unsure: Pete

Yep, same as last year I think. Drop off on Friday night (while I'm close) then back on Monday. May get an extra day this year depending on the family. Looking forward to catching up with you and Matt. :good Pete

So this happened.... Date stamp and some progress soon. :) Pete

Yes Ian, a bit of deja vu for you I'm sure. Did you attempt to use those ridiculously flimsy periscope guards, or were you like me and crumpled the first one beyond recognition so thought "No, perhaps not". :gogo I did think about doing the Kiwi version but the other goodies I had on hand...

Guys, your emoji's are making me thirsty.... So, on to the turret. A fairly simple affair, with excellent fit of the top and bottom halves requiring minimal clean up. You get a choice of two styles of rear radio boxes and again the fit was perfect. The 17 pounder is in two halves, as is...

So Mike......Assuming we wont see this one at Expo next month. :bgrin

Thanks for dropping by gents. Continuing on with the upper hull now. Nothing out of the ordinary here for a Sherman build. A few holes to drill out for the attachment of goodies, depending on the version being built. Always good to drill them out first, and not once the panel you need to drill...

Fantastic Tony :thumbsup Slightly odd about the suspension... Pete

Crap Hilly, how much have you got going on :blink: :blink: Really looking forward to seeing these next month. Hope the business is going well. Pete

Truly outstanding John. :notworthy:

Logistics, The armor Updated April 30, 2017. Got to admit, its a special feeling watching one of Bob's super Dio's come together. As a matter of interest Bob, how different do you think your early stuff would have been had you had these types of forums back then? Pete

Thanks gents. Mike, not quite as imennse as what yours will be, but I'm here for Miniart support. :good Bob, I thought the Barn looked very.....north east Europey, if that makes sense. The kit gives you 4 decal options. 2 British vehicles in Normandy, a Polish version and a NZ version in...
