Love it!  I didn't realize the cannon is not permanently mounted to the vehicle... always learning especially those SPGs and artillery here.

Thanks buddy!

Lordy me, everything so far is just beautiful, the chassis is in a class of it's own. I am stunned by what you have done with the gun so far, this approach will give you an excellent contrast when getting t o the finish and as for the metallic finish, well if you told me it was machined steel I would nota doubt it, great work Tony.

Totally cool, Tony--man, I wanted this kit so bad, but the price just put it out of reach for me. Can't justify it right now.

Really interested to see what you do with it!

I had never seen the kit before, but it sold at my IPMS club's raffle for only $24. A visiting modeler from Utah won it and couldn't believe his luck. That dude spent well over $150 in the club auction but ended up with a pile of kits about 3 feet high. Fortunately for him, half of the club works for UPS, most as pilots and could get the big box of kits sent cheap.

There's only one photo that I know of Clay and it's not that great and it's in "Rommels Funnies".

Did you look at page one of this blog? There's shots of mine and what i've done to it so far.

Best I can tell personal gear is in the top section,ammo in the middle and tools and such stored at the bottom.

You did read the review of the kit at PMMS.com didn't you?

You know where to find me buddy

No MIG products Andy.

I use the LifeColor Rust and Dust set for my rusty stuff then graphite with a drop or two of water mixed with it for the black top coat.

Glad you like it my friend

Getting bored with this?  NEVER!  Looking great so far.  Yes

Dig the muffler... that's one of few final things I need to do on my Panzer IV.  I assume you used MIG pigment on the muffler? I have two or three different kinds of MIG Rust pigments.

Texas and Tennessee make for a good alliance. I'm sure Bill feels the same way as I, FSM needs us to keep this joint afloat.

Now if  any of you people believe that, Bill has some very dry desert  and I've got some very wet swamp land for sale at inflated prices.Big Smile

Karl there's room for a hot picker too.Yes

Tony, if only every WIP post and build gone up in these forums was a chock-full of info, progress, and quality as yours and Bill's are, I'd write the FSM Armor forums into my will!

This is the way it should be done, Thanks for remaining consistent in the quality of not only your inspiring work, but your build WIPs. Truly creative, inspiring building and documentation!
