I'm up and about, my sprues are finished drying (yup I washed them anyways ) I feel really  out of it today. It must be the change in the weather. I could have slept all morning. Overcast and drizzly here. I hope to get started early afternoon. I'm going to attack the lower hull first and dive right into those horrible indy tracks to see if I have the know-how to assemble them.

Rob or anyone else have a clue as to how many links per side. I think each sprue holds at least 120 links.

Ok i'm here . Got my instructions washed (thanks for the heads up on the detergent/softener Tread ) , corn bread being fixed and the coffee brewing !

Still waiting on the kit but here are som pics of the bird:

Well, didn't think I'd be here this morning but hey here I am.

Nice work guys so far!

As I said I've already cleaned up the road wheels (three in the photo but about a zillion in the box) and cut some the parts off and dry fitted them together, yes the Char B is a big beast. And I picked up these figures last week. Not sure which I'll use if any, but I've got the Bronco Hotchkiss H39 I can use the rest with.

Why John ?

I need to concentrate on getting my build for Andys PzIII GB finished up and limit my time here at FSM. Too much drama. Not from you guys. You guys are what a forum should be.

Well thats sad to hear John . Been enjoying posting with you again . We both know that crap just seems to be a part of this site . I'm going to overlook it myself and stay away from those type of threads . They do tend to bring everyone down with them .  I'll see you over at Andy's thread .
