Right then,
I’ve moved Mr Race and Mr Jones to opposite ends of the room, as I fear some sort of food fight:tongue-out3:

Here is tonight’s update.

Been adding the smaller details such as hatches and handles over the course of the week and tonight i got on with the other track. I did one big length and it formed really nice with just a few wedges and a couple of weights.



just a short section around the rear idler to do.

Still got a fair few details to add.
cheers

Shame about the lasagna, I even like it reheated after a day or two. Glad you stuck it out with the tracks Si, should look the bomb once you get the color on them. You large scale guys sure have it easy, if I want weld lines it's cut a groove, putty it up then tool it in with a dental probe! :smiling3: And that's why it's called modeling. LOL. Cheers, Rick H.

Morning Simon,
Here is the book, well its more like a magazine or brochure.
Was only £12 and has some nice big colour pictures of different museum vehicles, in a walk around style, including some interior pictures.
50 odd pages and several pages on camouflage and markings.

Cheers Si :thumb2:

Sorry Si for being a bit behind on this. Looking very good and that book looks a bit of a steal at £12.

Just had a look at Ammo site - they also do a Panther one in the same series - but they want €11 postage so more or less doubles the price

Just looking through my book on Tigers.
A friend of mine was working for a magazine here in Stamford. She asked me to do a review , which I did and was given the book.
Here are a few photos.
If any on wants any more just say,the book is about a 1/16 build, the photos are remarkable.













Full of great detail.

Cheers
