      However we do live with a ghost/ghosts in our house. We have had several unexplained situations that have arisen over the years. For example, once every time Lisa turned the light on in the kitchen, the light on my phone came on. When she turned it off the light on my phone went off. This happened several times for different lengths of time of turning the light on and off. However when we put other lights on in the house nothing happened. Our favourite one relates to Lisa's phone case where she keeps all our credit and debit cards. When she came down one morning they had been taken out of the phone case and stacked neatly behind the lounge table leg. Fortunately they are friendly ghost/ghosts so we don't mind. Happy Halloween!
      That’s not ghosts….that’s the result of apprentice tasks for the young carpet monsters. You’re breeding the damn things!

        Glad I'm not alone, but remembering your sheep wearing bulletproof vests when you caught all out are we to really believe you:smiling::smiling::smiling:

          For one the track road wheels have all been changed to spoked and the track guards have again been altered. Some mistakes by the kit manufacture are the cause after I had read my T60 bible.
          Not that any one would or me would have really bothered, but looking at the book is to blame :nerd:.

          Fruils are done, just waiting for some treatment to arrive tomorrow and then some more painting can begin.

          A few ideas for the diorama base in mind.
          I do love reference books, have taken years and a fortune to build up my archives. Problem is I'll see a feature or detail on one particular production batch or Ausf. or Mark such-and-such, but want to add it whichever one I'm building because it's so darn cool. Makes it hard for me to want to stay within the lines, sigh.

            3 links are in the fluid as I write, leave them too long and they will either go completely black or be eaten away
            Hmmmmm...... paranormal activity..... mythical creatures from legend and lore..... age..... Nope. Nope. And Nope. You're huffing too much glue Mr. Race, back off of the Dave Ward special recipe TET stuff and you'll be alright.

              Hey Ron, it's good to see I'm not the only one in this boat. I guess that's why I never finish anything. Too many little details to add and not enough time in this life to do it. Hope all is ok on you end Bro.........

              Prost

                  Allen, yep half of my work I won't post online because it's a certainty to be called out by the History Professors lol ! As if this one or that one would ever be seen at EuroMilitaire or Moson anyway ! Ehh, at least I built it the way I wanted and can enjoy seeing it in the display case...

                        Due to The German AFV philosophy of last in first out you can find photos of almost any mix of features as shortages made use of old features on new build & rebuilds.

                                That is indeed what I think of before deciding to "go for it" Paul. Sure, there are still boundaries between plausible and outlandish, but most all know that, and even then there's always the "What-if 1946" segment of our hobby too !
