Gee Tony too bad your compressor died I've had mine for 20 years and it still is going strong I still will need to get a moisture trap for it but it hasn't caused me any problems.

Beautiful day for painting until my compressor shut off and died.

My attempt at SCC#2 "Service Brown" maybe it's close????

Harbor Freight here I come again.

Pics!!!!!

Clint I notice the drain missing.

I got one without a tank and use a long hose for air storage and pulse management. Water trap on the compressor and another at the gun. Together, all is right with the world.

Thanks for showing up at the party

I wonder how i have missed this? Its looking great Tony sorry to hear about your compressor but it sounds like you have it replaced now. I too use a cheap HF compressor next one I get i'm gonna take a closer look at before i buy it doesn't have a drain on the bottom of the tank so water just sits in it so if yours is designed like the one I got I would invest in a second moisture trap somewhere close to the gun itself

Sorry to hear you were delayed in the paint application department Tony but I'm sure Harbor Freight is happy to fix that for you!

Harbor Freight opened at 9am this morning, guess where I was?

Looking good there Tony, but I expect nothing less. 

For a cheap compressor Tread this one has been way overdue to blow so no hard feeling here.

The next one may be another story, You pays your money and takes your chances.

Thanks

Tony lee

Looks nice boss ;-)

Dam air compressors ... they are great until they have to compress air !

Have fun with the new one !

Limbering Up

Jester I haven't even scratched the surface even with just WW II yet.

As for the rest of you folks it's all about the Fun and Thanks.

Until next time

Tony lee

Tony, looks like you're really "limbering" up for this build!!  Nyuk, nyuk!!

You and your SPG's Tony, I wonder how close you are to having built one of every one made?? It is a real pleasure to watch your builds come together and this one is looking superb!

Looks good, Tony! That's quite a little gem of a kit!

I'm thinking.."crap!". There was a limber there at the museum, but of course, I didn't pics of it....looks like I'll have to go back....WAHOOOOOO!!!  ........ lol!

Sweet set of candy there Tony!

Sweet looking work Tony, you seem to be flying along with this one, I love the limber, looks like a kit in its own right.

Added eye candy

DML limber is OK but Bronco's has it beat, it's good enough to use it so it's not that bad.

Cheers

Cheers

Gee Tony I need to check this more often I didn't notice that on Monday you're already about 2/3rds done with assembly!

That's some super nice detail there.

I have posted some 20 pics of a Sexton under refurb on the Isle of Wight, with a lot of floor plates up, on my EMMC website   look on the Gallery section. 

Still not jealous, the guys at my club call me Glacier, because I build so sloooow... 

second posting of this link... I have no idea why it didn't stick....

Thanks for clearing that up Tony! 

Why do the Brits have to make it difficult??  They can't just use mm or cm like everyone else...

hehe!!  JK!!  no offense intended to our island bound friends acroos the Atlantic!!

I can't wait to see this one Tony.

Yes I did Bill, I can't help it.

When there's a mud hole to be repaired i've just got to grab a shovel and fill it.

Anytime the game clock was stopped I ran to the bench, those minutes add up buddy.

Tony lee

Nice update and fix to the rear Tony! You've been sneaking in bench time in between the football games I see.

Way to go Jon

Some of those answered a few questions I had and shine some light where I had shadows.

Thanks fellows

Hi Pvt Mutt

I've been slightly organised, & have posted some 20 pics of a Sexton under refurb, taken on the Isle of Wight 2012.  

This vehicle was in running order, but needs a little TLC, so interior construction is quite prominent!

Hosted here: EMMC Website  on the Gallery page.

beautiful work there so far Tony! I am enjoying watching this all come together. It is indeed a beautifully detailed kit.

Yeah Buddy

That's a later model Karl, the head lights are mounted up high to avoid the muzzle blast.

If you would and can get some interior, rear and deck shots.

You da man

Tony lee

WOW, a busy interior there, Tony---awesome, once again!

Saw one of these today, but didn't have the chance to get any interior shots. They actually asked me to leave just after I snapped these last photos--it was closing time, but I was still running around snapping whatever I could,lol. I'm going back next weekend!
