Up date for today:

Spare tracks moved to the rear to take some weight off the nose heavy machine.

Here's what's under the top cover

That'll do it for today folks

Maybe I should go to Manny's cooler and clear my mind.

Brain Fade yes sir been there done that a time or two Tman. I go to the think tank and sit there till something works out.

38=

Thanks

Tony lee

hummm.. .tank factory moved to the inlands... ,,sounds familiar..

Having a brain-drain moment. I know what I want, but feebly attempted it on one go around. Re-sprayed the base and finished the running gear, now hoping to get it right this time. I want her done! Time to move on.

Stalled out with a camo job,how do you do that Eric?

I'll have to find out tomorrow,it's bed time on the far side of the mountains.

Thanks for the kind words

Tony lee

I've stalled out on the camo of my latest and you have literally an assembly-line going. I'm impressed as heck.

You slipped in on me IB. What you don't use you lose they tell me and I can't afford to to lose much more of anything.

You get my drift?

Good to see buddy

Tony lee

Mike things move along faster when your building two kits that are the same. I just have to keep my reference book handy so I can be sure and get the minor differences where they should go on each one. I've already messed up once but i'll never tell.

David my work bench is an over sized Lazy Susan. Every 24 hours it revolves around to another build,ready or not. Really I have a TV tray stand on the left sides of the bench and I keep all the sprues and parts containers in the two halves of the kit box. When i'm ready to switch to another build I put the two halves aside and put the other kit box halves on the stand and pick up where I left off on that one.

Good talking to someone that talks back,Thanks for dropping by

Hey Tony,

This is taking shape and I do follow you. I just don't reply all the time. Sooooo don't feel lonely. We are all here like a Band of Brothers.

By the way I don't buy the "short on gray matter" from you. Gray matter requires a lot of energy and seeing the number of builds you have on the bench your not short. So keep using those gray cells.

I don't know how you do it Tony, I can only do one at a time.

OK....don't get lonely. I have my eye on the midwest tank factory. Appears we have stepped up production....good week for the elves!!

Rounds Complete!!

I started building #3 this Monday Andy, #4 Tuesday, road wheels and some on #3 again today and back to #4 in the morning. Doing four models and not bore everyone you've got to keep things actives, I think??????

Tony lee

Yes I got it... had to read the whole thread and it was still fun.  I still like the first one with the 'see thru' skirt.  Amazing!  Apparently I missed some of your third build when I had to work over the weekend.  Now I am back on the track... this is like a mini GB so I need to read little further back. 

Keep postin' buddy!

Andy #6397 and #6589 are the same kit only the 6589 has zimmerit.

Both are going together the same,GREAT

Thanks guy

Tony lee

Bill I ain't "fast" just efficient

Appreciate your visits buddy

Listen up, Number four in the series the DML#6397 L/70(V)

Wait a minute... I am afraid I missed the number three?!?!?  I need to read the whole thread. 

Looking great as usual! Looks like number four is the easiest build so far I hope.

Look forward to tomorrow's update Tony. You're moving fast on these suckers...have to be sure to check back or I'll miss it entirely.

I know you are Karl but i'm short some gray matter, there's only so much to go around.

Road wheels are ready for paint and I even got a little bit done on the L/48 today.

See you tomorrow folks

Happy to know you both are hanging out with me.

Gets kinda lonesome around here with no one to talk to so sing out when you need to KZ

Thanks to you both

Tony lee

I'm still here too! With the weather breaking and a new CD in the works however, I'm not doing much modeling or posting lately. I am watching your progress though, and keeping my fingers crossed that you're going to see fit to do some "scale effect" painting on those yellow babes!

Keep going--these are looking awesome even in this early state!

PS--give Hans & Franz my best!

Happy to know you both are hanging out with me.

Grunt. 

This is the kit that I have. Nice looking. I haven't even cracked open my box yet. I don't do that with any sealed kits until I'm ready to build them. Kind of makes it a surprise when I open it.  

Not to mention it preserves the smell of fine plastic...

I'm enjoying your thread Tony. Armor is new to me and am trying to learn. Just hanging out in the back of the room...

Tony

Oink!

Gotta be different. I've been watching as well Tony. Dang fine work!

That vertical cylinder between the breech block and the swivel mount is part# G-5 and Dragon failed to mention it in the instructions

Not a bad days progress after all

Grunts Welcome

Tony lee

Like I said a "grunt" is just fine just so I know you're there. I'm not asking for the world here,a smiley face or a question if you have one,at-a-boys are not necessary even.

Thanks for coming by and the acknowledgements.

Break time over, back to the bench

Tony lee

It's nice to see the comparison between the non-zim and pre-zim kits too, keep the updates coming Tony!

I'm all over this project too, I like to watch quietly in the corner...don't mind me.

I've been watching. I don't post a lot (if at all) but try pick up tips and how to do things from WIP threads like this.

Grunt Grunt.

I love Jagdpanzers and have the newer L/70 in my stash. Would love to start it, but I recently finished a Pz IV and got burnt out on the roadwheels. Anyhoo.......I do like the family of them. Personally if I were smart, I should have gotten a L/48 because of the shorter barrel just conserving more shelf space.
