                        OOOPS!!!

                        I just got my model back after entering it in the show, then promptly leaving town. It recieved an honorable mention though they pointed out for me (and now it's driving me nuts) the track is backwards on one side (@#*$&$!!!!).

                        Well the Achilles has finally got an exterior coat of paint but my Didi cam is in for repairs. (I thought the batteries were dead, but it seems my teenage son actually dropped it while he was taking pics of himself and his girlfriend -put it on timer on the book shelf then bumped it off!) I hope to get it back later this week. It has one or two shots of the exterior and modifications I made to it, on the memory card, so maybe picks soon.

                        Sherm: That's really great. I like the way you presented that Firefly...appropriately weathered. And the figures look great and this is from a guy who said he doesn't do figures,LOL.

                        Two thumbs up. Sorry...I have only two thumbs. He-he-he.

                        Now you got it Tim !!!! Looking good.

                        Don't worry about not being able to link the pics, it's probably the server that you're using that doesn't allow them.

                        Ron's site should be back up and running soon.

                        Frosty, I too hope everything works out for you and your family.

                        Well, I fixed my track SNAFU. I have 2 photos here I just took. Ron's sit is down down so I put these on "my website" for hosting. Let's see how well I've done this:

                        Well I couldn't get it to work, so I just posted a link to the photos.

                        Sorry guys, It's beyond me.

                        Sherm,
                        Just wanted to say great builds, both of them. I really like the camo netting on the other one. And I just want to say a big THANK YOU for hosting a site for the group build.

                        All,
                        I kind of got caught up in school work this past semester, but I am catching up on spring break (which ends MondayAngry [:(!]) but I wanted to let you all know that it has been most enjoyable watching all the builds unfold. All of them have turned out great!! Oh, one last thing, YES, I will finish my M10. Hopefully it will be done this weekend, minus those &*(#$ MK tracks.

                        You got it Frosty!

                        Robert, that looks super!

                        Worked more on the base for mine... a field maintenance area. A bit more to go. I almost completely forgot that staring tomorrow, I'll be gone for two weeks (most of it with the Guard!)... talk about throwing a monkey wrench (adjustable spanner for you UK types) into the works!

                        Consider yourself and your family added to our prayer list Frosty.

                        Don't worry about being a little late, you'll get it built.

                        Hi, folks !
                        guess i missed the deadline on this one...
                        i'll most likely b as late finishing the M32 as i was early on the ersatz M10 4 the Panther group build, LOL !
                        things have been a bit crazy at home over the past week...
                        can't really go into specifics but please believe that my family needs 2 b in ur prayers this day and coming weekend.
                        if u don't believe in the power of prayer, please send "positive waves" a la Oddball in our direction...
                        all help appreciated during a stressful time !
                        & thanx 2 u all 4 being such great people ! Angel [angel]Angel [angel]Angel [angel]Angel [angel]

                        best wishes,

                        frosty

                        SITE UPDATE

                        I've added my DML Sherman Firefly Ic to the site.
