Pz.Kp.fw IV Ausf H late

[jknaus]

I have pretty much stopped posting the past number of years because I have been having issues building models. Its hard enough starting, but I have found that once I do start its harder to keep going and I'll start, post some pics and then just quit or screw it up and turf it. Unfortunately this hasnt stopped me from buying and my stash is way out of hand.
I been getting some help and I started a Stug III F/8, but screwed it up and now its in the parts bin, but I immediately started a Pz IV H. I'm thrilled to say I'm about 80% finished building and should soon get to painting. It is the RFM kit and is very nice. I have added after market such as ATAK Zimmerit, new bumper stops, and latches. There will be some more before I get painting.
This is going to be a 12 SS tank and I have Star Decals markings for it. It was going to sit on a town street in Normandy, but now I will just make it a stand alone and all buttoned up.
While I have already collected everything including refs for me next build I am still plugging away at this and hope to be finished this year.

Hopefully this wont be the last set of pictures.
As we come up to Remembrance day I urge any vets to seek help if the memories get too much and the feelings too heavy. Actually I urge everyone who is having mental health issues to seek out help. It can be painful, but it can be so worth it not only for yourself, but those around you, family, friends, all.

I get urging for help. I know I need it and can't afford to get it. It's a lose lose situation.

If you need somewhere for the overflow of your stash to live I would GLADLY help you out and give them a nice warm home of course...

Excellent job James, so glad you're getting some good vibes at the work bench.
Looking forward to our chat next week.

I know the feeling on all fronts! Winter always gives me the blues, especially when there is snow to move out of the way.

I have been on a bit of a downer this weekend. I did go out and chop back the bush that was the Crepe Myrtle in the back yard yesterday. Last Saturday I did the big job of chopping back the two LARGE holly bushes in the front. Trimmed up the sides and took about a foot off the tops so now I don't need a ladder. That and the fact that Walter Koenig and Sir Patrick Stewart passed away this week has bothered me.

I so enjoyed the short Picard series that I have watched it several times.

Finally the election is Tuesday and so much is all effed up these days. with the indoctrinated pink haired useful idiots running around calling everyone that doesn't agree with them a Fascist or Nitzi or something else even though for the most part they have no clue what they are talking about.
You just can't fix stupid.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just in a downer mood and it won't get better till Wednesday at the earliest. Nothing I can do about anything at this point.
