Sorry to read you've all been stuck down with illness. Hope you are all better.

Thanks Mr R.....PM inbound :nerd:

Hi Si

Looking really rather good there. Nicely muddy but without being over the top. Very well done.

Andrew

Cheers Andrew, if you remember, I’m using the reference pictures I found for this, so it does need to be reasonably filthy. I’ve been building it up in layers so as not to go overboard....glad you think it looks ok:smiling4:

Looks fantastic Si.
Jon.

Cheers Jon, much appreciated :thumb2:

 

[Si Benson]

So, given the quality of that build a building is well within your skills. Great work.

Thanks for the kind words mate. Maybe I should have a try :thinking:

Very nice

Thanks Mr T :thumb2:

Hiya mate,
Glad your liking it so far :smiling4:Are you building anything at the moment?
Hope you and the family are well ?

Hi chap,

Nope sadly nothing, we bought a new house and it needs some work before we move in. That'll be only in March or April. The good thing is that I'll have a mancave of 15 square metres with a huge cupboard so plenty of room to use and fill in the near future

Family is doing great. Just busy time. Glad I do have some time off though...yesterday I visited the NUTS! event at Bastogne...great stuff, plenty of reenactors and WWII stuff. Boy I never realized a Sherman was so noisy :smiling6: . And the Saumur Panthers was on display and in action so I'm glad to keep the WWII vibe alive ^^

Cheers

Large displacements make for big explosions especially when mixtures were very rich like back in the day w/primitive carbs:smiling:. The radials were naturally noisy I think. The later German flame suppressors helped quiet them a bit. PaulE

You luck devil you! I think I watched something to do with that on YouTube last night....looked cold and wet but some cool vehicles rumbling around

Good to hear all is well and you and family are ok. Hopefully you can get moved in an modelling before too long mate

Very impressive Si. The mud and dirt build up has worked a treat. Hopefully you are over the worst of your illness now. Look forward to seeing the final build soon
