Thank you J!!

OK, here is an update to keep any wolves at bay. I may putter around with a base this weekend but for now I am working some oils, AK goodness and pigs.





A quick shot of the top. Don't mind the couple grains of sand in the pic...apparently cleaning and taking pictures at the same time is not such a good idea! LOL!



I still have a pile of work, with and not related to this one so I will be going back and forth patiently over the weekend....hope to have some more soon on this!

Thanks for tuning in!!

Wow T, this is bringing it up to a whole new level...absolutely brilliant!

Appreciate the kindness James...thank you!

I'm beginning to wonder if you've ever built a tank that wasn't burnt out and wrecked Amazing yet again.

-Conor

And it just keeps getting better!

Thanks Conor!! LOL....I think there are a couple that did not end up that way!!


Thank you very much Bob!! When I get done we should make a pick of this and yours (same kit) side by each. Show a great representation on what can be done with this old kit!!

Gee, thanks T! That's probably the highest compliment any of my models has ever received!

Your Welcome Bob...well deserved sir! When I get this thing done my friend, we will make it happen!!

Well, with a friendly reminder from AFVFan...a dope slap was more like it, This one is done!! Thanks Bob!!

I may appear that I missed showing some steps in here but I am working somethings up for an article soon...trying to save some of the "meat of the project" to go with the writing.

Here are some finals to finish it up!










Getting a chance to use any of the AK collection I have is always a good time! Thanks for stopping by during the project and for the support!! Hope to have a chance to have another "Duel" with Rob in the future!!

This is a build I'd love to see in person. As great as the pictures look, the real thing has got to be a knockout!

Superb work, T!!

Thank you Bob!! Very kind of you! What's your next show you will attend? LOL!!

OUTSTANDING

Thak you Bill!! Most appreciated!

Todd, outstanding work! I have been wanting to try the salt and hairspray techniques. Seeing what you accomplished here confirms that I need to get off my duff and start practicing!

Thank you Thomas! The HS Tech. can be rewarding...messig at times but worth the effort. Have it it! Play around a little on an old model or styrene stock first. Single layers at first and then mess with more.

There is some of the tech. shown in here and I have more shown here in a feature: http://armorama.kitmaker.net//features/4526 I am sure you have things under control, but if there is a question fire away...there is enough of us around to always help!!

Next show I'm planning on right now is Sumter SC, I believe in late June. Unfortunately, that's in the wrong direction.

Going north, I normally don't look much past Richmond. I hate spending money on hotel rooms, so I plan most of my outings as "day" trips (unless it's something special). That limits the one way driving range to around 4 hrs. You being way up in NE just about guarantees our paths won't cross until maybe AMPS Fredericksburg, next year.

I have been planning now to make it! I need to prep the wife...softly now about it and I should be good to go!! That would be great to hook up at the show and shoot the proverbial POO!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...."EYE CARUMBA"!!!!!!
J

Thank you very much Jerry!!

You blew me away when I saw this for the first time. Outstanding work buddy!

Hey BJ!! Thanks my friend!! Great talking to you tonight BTW!! Hope your cousin wasn't too upset we were ignoring the call waiting!! LOL!!

She'll get over it, LOL

Well, Well....what do we have here! Looks like someone stumbled onto an old buried Stug! Ive never even stumbled on a 25cent piece on the ground much less a buried treasure like that!

Brilliant works from you brother T....as usual! Ill do me a dug up wreck soon....you watch!

Gary

Thank you Gary!! LOL...you and me both brotha'...on finding stuff!! I was just happy they gave me a $20 gift card to Walmart for the grill I bought the other day!!

I will hold you to the build my friend!!
