Das Werk SdKfz 251/1 Ausf D in 1/16th scale

Looks great Paul, good luck on the checkup.

Thanks Bob, the incision is FINALLY settling down and not hurting so much. This has been the most painful surgery on this yet (#4) They must have really gone in and dug around a lot.

Here are the rear doors with the working latches and linkages added. Again in this scale it is all big enough to make it look right and work properly. Yeah, it is a little delicate and if I see someone playing with it I will break their fingers. (Should not touch models that aren't yours)

Anyway, it gives me the options in how I might display it without locking me into any set prop.

Still dealing with my bum and painful leg. Wrapped it with an Ace bandage today to put a bit of tension on it, and it seems to have helped. Have a checkup Tuesday morning so I should find out more then.

Upper level work!
And Yes, I want to touch it!

In the process of looking over the firewall there are 5 instrument faces on it. There are 3 small instruments that have black faces, and a large white with red and green patches tachometer instrument. Nice decals, and the instrument dials are recessed quite a bit.
However, there are no clear "glasses for over the instruments. Filling them with clear resin is not really an option due to how this all assembles. What I need to do is cut some flat clear round glasses to place in the openings. I don't have any hole templates that will work, and a compass is a no go what with a needle hole that would appear in the center of each round.
So I resorted to something that @jknaus showed us quite a while back and obtained my copy of said item.

As there will be multiples of each size, once a size gets dialed in, I will just do enough to take care of all my builds at once.
