update:
first, i'm feeling much better now, and thanks yet again 4 the get well wishes !
second, a huge THANK YOU for Domi 4 taking the time to send me that info on the ersatz. it will really help with the next phase of the project, when i do the turret add-on armor plates... i'm still dreading those compound angles !
i did some work last nite, mostly to the rear :
added the blanking to top of rear deck
added the little trapezoid wedges to fill in the sides so that the false back plate will be just about vertical instead of having the characteristic slope
i was looking at my differential covers & i think i need 2 do a little more
sanding just to make 'em more symmetrical, but they really turned out better than i expected.
sorry 2 post w/o pix...

Frosty.

Maybe you became a little too Frosty this time. Hope you're feeling better now. At least you didn't get frostbite, that really would impinge on your building time! Looking forward to some pics.

Its not a rule Eric think about how many guys here are married

I thought that was a rule, not a perogative!!

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better Frosty! Looking forward to seeing the pics when you can get them posted!

The lady's perogative:she gets to be as picky as she wants.

Hey folks !
first, a great big THANX for all the 'get well' wishes !
feeling a bit better today... otherwise nothing 2 report. i had 2 look after my sibs last nite, mom was out at a meeting so i did bedtime stories & lights out. fun, but no modeling time 'cause i went to bed soon after !

Ron P:
no Kelly's Heroes, but i did watch a documentary on Pearl Harbor on the History Channel. lotsa planes & ships, very little armor...
i felt strangely unsatisfied, for some reason...

Cassibill:
i'll just b happy if i can cross 1 item off the list ! (but only if it turns out well,
a girl has 2 have some standards, rite ?)

Duke Maddog:
looking forward 2 more BMP pix, ur doing a great job with a kit that seems 2 have its issues... fight on, comrade !

Mike:
LOL !!!
as 4 me wanting 2 stay in bed, i'd rather have been out snowboarding...
missed some excellent powder, majorly bummed !
and i have some updated shots of the pink Panther, it's about 85 to 90% done, still want 2 add radio antenna & spare trax stowage bracket up front & need 2 do final coats of paint & weathering...
will upload as soon as i get 2 'puter w/ usb port again !

best wishes 2 all, & happy modeling !

Good to read up on the progress made Frosty.....

Hope you get well soon!

Sounds like good progress to me, Frosty. Keep it up and please show pics the next time around.

Get to feeling better Frosty. Look forward to the pics.

wow frosty, you must have been sick. You typed your post with complete words rather than the frosty shorthand. Although I think you were just looking for an excuse to stay in and build all weekend.....

Hope you feel better, and lets see the finished project. BTW, you still owe us a pic of your completed Pink Panther don't you?

Mike

Well Done frosty! That's more than I coulda done with the flu! Get well soon and I look forward to seeing pics.

Speaking of which, I have new pics of my BMP build for you. I'm about two-thirds done!

Frosty,
you get an awful lot done for a girl on her deathbed !! [:0]
if you were not sick over the weekend, i would suspect you were playing hooky to get more time on your build!!

looking forward to some pics, and i hope you are feeling up to par soon!

Looking forward to seeing the pics Frosty ... get well soon.

Keep this up frosty and you'll have to brag on the Resolutions thread about getting one thing off your list.

Get well Frosty girl. Can't wait to see some pictures of your model.
