Not every day can be productive.

Sweet!!!

That roof plat is a awesome example of the two tone chipping technique.

Thanks. It is easier than it looks, just takes lots and lots of time.

What an ass-end effort. I wanted the exhausts to look like rusted galvanized steel, figuring at this late stage of the war parts would be bolted on unpainted. So below is my method to achieve said goals. Questions, comments, jokes, gratuity is always welcomed!

Steps in order.

and the finale!

It's a shame to bury all that in rubble, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Peer pressure has been effective, and now it will be abandoned in a village in Western Germany. But I do have another kewl addition to make it exciting.

Don’t think joint projects are eligible.

And thanks Luiz!
