Much as I really want to go to Omaha, with the way my extra cash is going out due to all the extra insurance costs I am now having, due to changing to Medicare (yeah 65 sucks) I am going to have to be conservative and stay local this year. Really hate it as I wanted to go, but with my build...

I have wondered about these. I have the new Das Werk Stug III G and Das Werk Panzer III J kits. You just answered my question about where these came from.

I see what you mean about the trunk lid. It does show a bit lighter with none of the metallic pattern that is in the rest of the body. Other than that this is looking REALLY GOOD!

You know Chris, you kind of hit my thoughts on the matter square on the head. The local chapter has declined to just a get together on the last Saturday of the month at 10am. I usually do sleep catch up on Saturday and I have gotten rather "Who gives a crap" as no one wants to do ANYTHING! I...

Really nice build John! I would have loved to have built one of these in 1/32 but alas, the Trumpeter kit is horrible so I finally just went with the ICM kit which is supposed to be really nice.

Happy Birthday Bob! Hope all this passes quickly and you are able to return home to what you enjoy doing!

Thanks for the link James. It was very interesting! I had never heard of that unit before.

I talked with Bob briefly a few weeks ago and he was under the weather then. Have not been able to give him a shout since because my worthless phone service (T-Mobile) decided to upgrade the local tower in the area where I work and my phone has not worked there since. It is a Samsung Note 10+...

Oh my!

You might try some kind of a drying retarder with the paint you are using Steve! I have a lot of trouble with paint drying too fast as well and a retarder slows the drying time and increases the working time.
