The problem isn't the size I believe, it is the material that it is made out of. Soft lead based castings are not the same strength as brass, bronze, or steel.

This build is looking really good Paddy. Shame it is so delicate that it can damage itself.

lol! I will determine that once I get there. Have the shield assembled on the Pak 40. The front lower corners are actually welded up. Doing something new to try and replicate that. Turns out I was trying to overdo it, so a little more smoothing. Then photo time (have been taking pics...

I just took a big bite and bought 3 of their tools. Yeah one is the new beastie, the others you will have to wait and see.

Old photo trumps new restoration. The kit has it right.

Ah! So the "War Dept" can beat you severely about the head and shoulders eh!

Watching as I have both the Panzer III J and the Stug III G kits. Pak 40 is coming along. Should have photos up later then paint this weekend.

Looking good Martin!

So far so good Gary. Keep up the good work!

These could eventually get a full interior. Their first armor kit was the Stug III G. I really like Stugs and got it. I was so impressed with that kit that I bought this one and the others that they have released.

With Father's day and the Chattanooga Model Con this weekend I ended up with a few things. Am really trying to refrain from buying kits as I really have enough, but there are a few that will almost always get my $$ if the price, subject, and execution are just right. Mostly I am focusing more...

Cool Paul! I love big scale kits!

Ditto 🤣

As to how I did, I took 6 kits and got 3 bronze, 2 silver, and one gold. They actually judged and rated each build and awarded pins/coins to each as judged. These 3 builds got the bronze These 2 got silver This one which I don't think I have ever posted on here got the gold. This...
