Guy that's a very nice looking PzIV. Subtle weathering and realistic texture.
Some progress on my pocket-Tiger.

Check Aber's MG34 Brass barrels.

I used to be a scale modeler like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

WOW!!!
So many awsome builds for this Campaign and it is way more than I thought it would be. I still have yet to pop in due to an unexpected Kitchen Remodel. but hope to be in shortly. Wonderful builds everyone.

Trevor: Why not just glue it into the position you want? I don't think that most movable parts are meant to remain that way.

Glue the darn thing in place son!!!!!
Or maybe you can block the downward motion By putting a piece of plastic under the cannon's joint.
Damn better just glue it.

I fix my Ersatz M10 cannon problem, with a "ball" of Blue Tack or similar inside the turret, just where the barrel reach the turret.
No glue, free to move to another position.

Make a shell out of lead solder and put it in the breach.

You could also try tacking it down with a very small amount of extra thin ca glue. If you want to reposition at a later time, the bond should be easy enough to snap apart and re-tack.

Try wrapping a length of thread around the barrel axle/pivot point. It'll tighten the it and give it added tension. If that doesn't work, a bit of white glue will keep it in place. And if you want to move it later, you can usually break it loose pretty easy.

Robert: The tracks on German vehicles were enamel black. They received no primer.

Realized the end date is getting closer, so I'm putting my Merkava on hold while I finish this campaign before it ends.

Fabian: I'm interested to see how the jagdpanzer builds up.
I may be out of action a little longer than I anticipated. I'll be going back to the doctor, Monday. Everybody I have talked to says that it will require surgery. This may put me down, for a couple of months.
