Going around adding weld beads to everything and playing around with where the Stowage will be. Ration crates, 30 cal, 50 cal crates and some musette bags. Also have some bags to hang from the turret. I'm making blankets and camo netting as well. I haven't seen photos of T-80 tracks draped on...

The USPS started their slide when they forced out the career employees about 15 years ago. They simply lost their way. It's a shame. My wife had 32 yrs in, retired at 60 years old. I made it 27 years. Left at 62.

I know how you feel Bob.

I hear ya. I have no regrets.

After being employed at some sort of job for 50 years it was a bit nerve racking to say I quit.

Went ahead and ordered the Aber 50 cal barrel upgrade as well. I may have to get a job...I swear the next build is going to be STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.

It was going to push close to a Benjamin bill to replace the 30 & 50 cal machine guns with aftermarket ones after shipping. So I'm going a different route. I've ordered an Aber brass barrel for the 30 cal. I also ordered 50 cal and 30 cal open ammo boxes from Steel Pot Studios, high quality...

I admire his work. And as you said, is good about replying and answering questions people have. With my stupid machine guns problem for the Sherman I contacted him about a solution to the open ammo boxes and he got back to me quick with a solution.

Yep I found Jef awhile back. I think I've ordered enough stuff from him for the Sherman build to pay his utility bill for this month...haha.

Paul, checkout STEEL POT STUDIOS. I did a test order of ammo box crates from him for the Sherman build. Excellent prints! So I've placed a larger order that's on it's way. He has many things for the 1/16 M3.

Thanks Klotzen. I suspected the Peddinghaus offerings might not be as advertised. It looks like Sol or AVF will be the fix. I keep thinking I can fix the 30 cal print I got, but nah. So, your right. Ordering two new guns.

All stop on the build. I'm dead set on displaying both machine guns loaded. I think I can deal with showing the printed 30 cal this way and I'm trying to "fix it up generally by adding details like the swivel lock to the pedestal. However the kit's 50 cal has problems. The gun itself is good...

Thanks Gary!

I used some sterling silver wire because it's what I had that was the right diameter, not springy. Don't know who does a German 88 in 1/16, but I'm wanting to do one.

Thanks! I'm so confused 😆
