V2 - Vengeance From Above

[Guest]

About time you got back to the bench, but for the amount of work you have put in, you are forgiven.
Happy to see you are well again, and back to your none normal self, I must say this is going to be one build when it is finished. Progress, onward and upward as they say...
Cheers, Mike.

Dude1 . Most impressive work my friend. Do I spy some Friuls in the background ?
How come your mat is so clean , is this the one you keep to make us think your neat and tidy ?, more impressed with that.


Dude2.

PM in bound tomorrow .

Don't be fooled John, this is Allens photographic mat, only measures 6 x 6, hence all the close ups.....

[Steve Jones]

Great update mate. All going in the right direction. Nice of John to send you one of his B&W photos when he was at work. I bet his legs still look good in those shorts:smiling5::smiling4:

[Allen Dewire]

Ahhh…….…..Ok, you guys caught me out on this one!!!

In the background Dude 2 are a set of late Panther Friuls for my Jagdpanther that is on hold for now as I am back in full swing with the V2. My mat is clean from the 13cm (5 inch) mark to the right. Below is the whole picture….
Thank you Mike, it feels good to be driving on with a hard…….You know the rest. As a matter of fact, I just finished washing the resin tires and they are drying as I write. As for the mat, well see below…………...
I don't know Stevie. You would have to ask him yourself buddy. He still might have the shorts though. I'm going to try and get some more done tonight!!!

Alright Guys, the rest of the story………………………...

Ya never know when you might need a tidbit or a piece of scrap to do the job…That's what the 1cm to 15cm space is for……………….Later,

Prost

Allen, The Tanker is coming on nicely. I use the crooked license plate trick sometimes as well. Even works in 1-87 scale. BTW, you are a "tidbit" Piker compared to our
friend Paul E. Now there is the King of "Tidbitery!! :tongue-out::tongue-out2::tongue-out3: Cheers, Rick H.

[Allen Dewire]

Thanks Gentlemen,

I'm glad to hear it has cooled down a little bit Ross as here in the Fatherland we are all wanting it to warm up a lot. It must be a good feeling to hit the bench and not be constantly sweating. I guess the a/c helps. Thanks for looking in Sir!

I have three or four little wooden rectangles that I normally work on Rick, but they are full with my tidbits too. If it gets any worse, I will have to do a clean up and that scares me as I'm afraid I'll throw out something I really need. I have seen pics of Paul's bench and like me, you never know when you are going to need that one piece in the pile. Hey, and crooked is always a good thing. Hope you're getting a bit of spring weather on your end too my friend!!!

No update tonight due to lack of taking pictures today. I was so busy I forgot and then it was too late. I will bore you all to death tomorrow after work. You have been warned!!! I wish everyone a great week and lots of bench time....

Excellent, I look forward to being bored after work, but I’ve got a bit of gardening to catch up on so can we make it after tea time dear?

[Allen Dewire]

Oh Darling, I do hope so. Around 4ish ok with you???

[Steve Jones]

Gardening!! More like an afternoon nap

[Mickc1440]

Always good to have a catch up with this build Allen. Slow and steady wins the race apparently. With my speed I should be an Olympic champion :smiling2:

[Si Benson]

Gardening!! More like an afternoon nap

Hey.....if it’s a nap in the garden it’s still gardening :smiling5:

[Guest]

Asleep every afternoon, management permitting is something I like in the boring winter months, but now its full on outside.
Dude 1.... keep it coming, I esp like the shot of the stretched sprue, something that you exceed at. As for the rest of the staged photo I have no further comment other than tipping one of your many boxes over to make us think you have been busy.

In fact gentlemen Mr Dewire spent much of the week end taking photos of the building site outside of his flat, of which I'm most grateful.

Some great work there Dude. Is that a VW stationary engine I spy in the pile? PaulE

[Allen Dewire]

Afternoon Gentlemen,

An update will follow as I still have to shoot some photos. I am running late due to work and a bout with Mother Nature's finest weather and winds. Can you say "soaking wet" boys and girls????????

Yes PaulE, that is a VW motor for the Meillerwagen erection trailer. Please see pages 17 and 18 for details….

So everyone, grab a cold one out of the fridge, Slap Mr. Benson to make sure he's awake and have a little patience with me. Thank you for your understanding….........…………...This is a recording from Bamberg Germany...…………………………..
