Thanks Steve and Mike!
And Steve thanks for the awesome stowage! Value Gear is really a top notch product and a bargain to boot (in case the name of the company didn't give you a clue!)

I am very glad you liked the gear... I was just emailing someone and explained that they look like boring gray bits to me at this point cos that's how I always see them, and I look forward to seeing pictures of how people use them and love them painted up...
You go down to JR's in burlington NC yet so we can start a cigarette smuggling ring to ireland... I am also trying to get James Bella to send me a real burrito... I might change my avatar to a pic of me with a sign that says "will trade stowage for USA Mt. Dew or Burritos... I need Model building fuel!"
great build and I look forward to all the future ones...

Don't see as much stowage on these, guess they were more for day trips as opposed to serving as a primary residence!
Talk to you soon!

good day guys. I am new to modelling. Just a question. How do you glue the photo etched frame that covers the light? I have an unbuilt sherman that i might just continue to work on. Your work is such an inspiration..

Yeah, the stowage on a dragon wagon is a complete tank and I don't make that, you do... haha

Hey Jeremiah,
Thanks for the reply, those photo etched brush guards can be tough because there is so little contact to the hull. On this tank I used two part liquid epoxy, lots of folks use a two part solid epoxy like milliput or kneadatite. These are pretty good at adhering and simulating the weld at the same time.
Feel free to ask any other questions around here, the folks here are very helpful!
