Made a lot of progress, and almost ready for paint.
I cut the shafts for the road wheels. They are easier to paint and pop right back on.
I shaved of the tow cable hold downs and used scrap brass. The PE parts for the tow cable clamps make me crazy. I've never been able to assemble them. The Dragon Pz III series has extra parts, A11 in this case, that can be used for this purpose.
I like the way it looks.

That does look good Guy!
Just letting everyone know we are now into the final month of the campaign. Last chance this year to finish those forlorn kits looking down on you from the shelf of abandonment!

Regrettably, I must desist. My Emden is advanced, but I realized that if I try to meet the deadline, I'll end doingh a poor joob. There's too many detailed painting steps ahead and, If I hurried, well, there's no decent Emden!
Nice campaign (Sure I'll follow the next one), nice models, and Have a Nice Christmas Season and a very happy and productive New Year!
P.S. A resolution to the New Year: The Emden Will be soon finished! Follow my gallery here, in Kitmaker, if you like, and see if I accomplish this first resolution!
Regards
Javier

Lots of great finishes here.
Well I got this old Italeri Stug IV posted, just happy that this one will no longer be reproaching me from the back of the shelf
It's certainly not great and may well get dragged out for practice purposes in future.

That was fast John, thanks.
And a big Thank You to everyone who participated, even if you didn't finish it (again ). Great to see so many kits rescued from the Shelf of Shame and finally completed in all their glory. We'll get UB15 set up for registration in the next few days.
And wishing you all a Happy & Productive 2015!
Cheers
Sean
