                        Hi, guys, sorry that I haven't checked in for a while but I have been busy building and wow-ing.

                        Anyway I just want to let you know that I am making progress on my "Zelda" (BTW any idea what that means ???).
                        She has gotten her first coat of paint and is awaiting further work.

                        Dan, it's good to see you getting started. I can't wait to see your Zelda; I've been wanting to do one myself but have been a bit nervous at the attempt. Maybe someday soon.

                        BTW, the only refernce I've been able to find about what "Zelda" means is this:

                        'M-113) unofficial used on a few occasions'

                        I found it on this site:

                        http://www.mheaust.com.au/IDF/Research/iDFterms.htm

                        All my other IDF reference sites just show pics, but don't give a meaning. Maybe it's some kind of slang term, I don't know.

                        Can't wait to see your pics.

                        I started the cockpit area today. Came out rather nice. The kit comes with photoechted parts which is rather nice. The fun part will be the painting. I thought I just check in.

                        Hey All,

                        I havent been around for awhile. Had a family emergency. Hopefully I will be able to get back to modelling real soon. Due to the emergency, I havent had a chance to do a thing lately. Actually more like a month! I just wanted to check and see how everyone was doing. Hope all is well. Take care.

                        Just checking in. The cockpit detail is not really showing up on the image. Still learning how to work the camera. Other than my lack of knowledge on my camera the build is coming along nicely. Big Smile [:D]

                        If the pics load very slow please let me know so that I can readjust the resolution.

                        AAAARGH... disaster, disaster had struck... I'm int he nightshift this week, so when I get home in the morning I go to sleep for a couple of hours. During those hours, our youngest must have gained access to the "factory". It wasn't a pretty sight ;
                        - roof of the Zelda was torn off
                        - all right roadwheels were broken off (1 is still missing)
                        - stowage racks broken

                        Conclusion : BEYOND MY ABBILITIES TO REPAIR

                        So, back to off, I'll have to order a new Zelda.
                        Luckily there is still enough time... and I might throw in a Merkava as well...

                        Oh man, sorry to hear about that Dan. That always hurts to see all your hard work just trashed like that. Oh well, at least there are quite a few spares for you to use on the next one.

                        I hope you get another one soon. A Merkava would look good too.

                        O.k. just an update, I got my kit and should be able to start sometime this month or next month for sure...

                        Just put me down for the super sherman, I don't know yet if I'll do the infantry...

                        Thanks Anthony.
