Oh Yeah, Sorry about that Mike.

Not red Tony.....Scarlet!! 

Rounds Complete!!

Karl right after I made that post the rain changed over to ice pellets and nickel size snow flakes. We got enough to cover the deck before changing back to rain again. Calling for mid to upper 50s tomorrow.

The A-O was just plain dark yellow, no thoughts yet on the other three.

Mike I understand, Red and Green go together right?

Thanks Guys

Cooler than a Finger Lakes New York Thursday, Tony! (little inside joke there...)

I'm salivating to see what you're going to do with the painting. It should be very interesting to see you individualize each one!

Tony - The master tin knocker strikes again....very nice

Now as far as interesting....some people like Coke, some Pepsi and the there is me...Dr. Pepper.

I love the works of art but as far as German......the lost

Much prefer my OD (or NATO Green, NATO Camo...etc, etc)

But I always like Tony work!!

Rounds Complete!!

The difference is what makes German armor so interesting.

72F and partly cloudy yesterday and today it's 36F and raining.

Ozark weather is just like a box of chocolates.

Cheers

Tony lee

Thanks guys

I used red auto body spot putty as a filler and just before it set up I took a very small flat screw driver blade to put the steps back in the zimm. I sprayed it with primer so I could see any low spots that needed more attention.

Thanks Again for the compliments

Tony lee

  NO way I can tell now... nice job! 

Nice job patching the zim Tony, would never know you had to make some alterations once the primer is on.

The morning shift had to take the wife's car and get it inspected so she could renew her plates.

I did patch up those gaps in the zimmerit where I had to cut it for fit. Installed the schurzen mounts and fitted the rear deck armor plates.

Now you see it:

Now you don't:

That's it for today folks

That's great looking 'see thru' skirt!  Very impressive... 

Oh yeah, nothing beats a see though skirt

Super job Tony.

Edited because I'm horrible with names

You really think so Karl? I bet you're just makin me feel good you sly doog.

Thanks my friend

Tony lee

A commendable job with those shields,Tony!  I built the Eduard version of them, and they're delicate indeed. Kudo's to you for the soldering job! Wow!

They're going to look smokin' on that jaggy!

They're not that hard to do Bill, it's just delicate work.

I wanted to get the tracks assembled today before going back to the A-O, job done

Back to the A-O tomorrow

Tony lee

I have a strong suspicion that the Thoma shields are the main reason why you don't see too many of these get built...but they definitely look sharp and you've done an excellent job with them Tony. Can't wait to see the next installment.

Thanks Tman and Mike you're right they're different alright.

Tony lee

Very nice...love the look

Nice work as always

Rounds Complete!!

The Thoma shields look great.

Hey All

All they need is the lower hangers attached to the screen and all done.

Doing those was really SUPER FUN

Tony lee

That's great looking 'see thru' skirt!  Very impressive... 

It had me worried at first Bill but having gained some confidence for Monday will make it easier to do the rest.

I read you passed and that's great so relax and enjoy your time off.

Later buddy

Tony lee

The Thoma schurzen are impressive Tony, very nice!

I've never done Thoma schurzen before and I just had to try one before Monday even though my back is killin me.

All soldered up

Not as bad as I thought it would be but it takes a delicate touch for sure.

Have a great weekend all

Tony lee

Phil i'm just a hard headed redneck and that should explain it.

Thanks

Tony lee

The skill to solder something that small I find just incredible I'd have given up to be honest

Phil

I was looking to see how the screens were going to fit and there are no top hangers, Tristar says to just glue the top of the screens to the rail, you might do that but not me Tristar.

I've got a Aber PE set for the L/70(A) which includes those 18 hangers and this morning I made a jig to hold the center blade in place while I soldered them, not enough surface area for glue to hold them.

All I need to do now is make 16 more pins and that task is done.

Later folks

Tony lee

Ditto to Eric's comments...making good progress Tony.

Looking forward to the Thoma shields. Don't see them every day.

Looking great!   Thanks for the response about Tristar and DML kits.  Guess what?  I have been summoned to the jury duty for the Jagdpanzer IV trial... looking forward to come up with the verdict and carry death penalty for the worst kit.  Oh I just watch one too many movies...

Keep it coming buddy!
