Trumpeter E 10

Can't divulge that info due to OPSEC Dave. :rotf

Yesterday , we met a lot of interesting people and modelers.

Can't remember having such a good time in......Well, let's say it's been so long I can't remember.

Let's just say the 11:00 till 2:00 lasted till 4:00 pm (16:00 hr ) and I never once thought I should have Left earlier :D .

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Looking good!

Thanks guys! Progress was hampered in part by the sunny and warm weather(high 60'sF in January) yesterday, I took time to knock out some woodworking projects while the rain stays away for a bit.

If I shoot some Tamiya rattle can, Alclad and follow those up with some Bondo filler on another project, I just might stink out the gremlins? :hmmm

Wish me luck. :mpup
 
Thanks Terry! B)

Thank you, Mats! Surprisingly, this one isn't that small. I'll post something for scale reference next post.

A wee update, I am making a display base for Rhino's papa's Mustang and put the first coats of sanding sealer on it. Thinking it might help solve the gremlin infestation, I brought it into the shop to dry. Very smelly, but effective! I also "welded" the hull seams on the E 10 while watching the AFC playoffs, the Tamiya Extra Thin cement added a piquant aroma to the shop, driving the gremlins into hiding.

Here's what I was working on. Using Evergreen .020 plastic rod and my Exacto.

Years ago, I built the Dragon E 100 super heavy, but did not use the night vision optics. I stuck them in the parts bin for future use, that being now. Dragon molded these in clear plastic, really not sure why, as only the lens would be clear. :S Working with the clear parts on a late afternoon was difficult to say the least, but I managed to get it together and added some lead wire cables.

I primed it this morning, along with the road wheels. I realized I do not have the appropriate barrel for this machine, so I ordered up one from Lots of Models, hoping it gets here this week so I can continue. More Rommel double secret modifications to come, stay tuned.
Thanks for coming by!
