Always appreciate your build threads Ian. Looking really good!

I have an Optivisor that I got back in 1988 for jewelry class. Have used it ever since.

Looking good Mark!

Very nice Mark! Judging by the photos this looks to be one of your best looking ships so far.

Looking really good Bob! He switched from the dark side Paddy.

@Sharkmouth It's easy Saúl, you just have to get the "professor type" glasses.

WWII they probably didn't have too much extra stowage on these. Not like the German tanks needed. Usually, unless they were on a fast roll to get someplace the logistics stayed up fairly close.

Only from Chris would those stories be bearable. :bigrin:

@Sharkmouth It is now called CANVASXdraw. It isn't cheap, but it isn't crazy my current version is the non subscription and I got it on sale, I won't do subscription based software, as I have been bitten by buggered releases and if it expires and craps out I am stuck. The buy version for what...

@paddy here are just some samples and examples of the new (to me) tool in the program I have used for decades. I think it has always been there I just wasn't aware of it. (DUH!) :smack: Anyway, a while back I downloaded a new revision of the program and discovered the envelope tool. Here...

I am being taken over by the green! Andy had a 4th of July sale and the M10 had always intrigued me. The Chaffee is a new kit and the Gecko kit of the Panzer Jager II impressed me so I decided to get it for something different to push my limits. I also tried out a tool in my program that...

If you are doing the white wash over the green, it would wear off with rain and other affects, it would chip, but usually only on leading edges of things like wings and tail surfaces. Also the white wash would probably not be applied underneath. Why bother as it could not be seen from the air...

Was a model maker LONG before I ever messed with a watch.
