The stranger returns lol been a while. Due to health issues we are seriously considering moving, so getting it ready for sale. Gardening, building work (planning permission is a nightmare), painting, etc, etc.

Mojo off the scale so to re- kick it, started Takom's Bismarck's secondary turret. Being 1/35 it's a lump!!

Two of the six turrets had range finders and were located midships

Will do Chris. Far too young to remember Brucie who, heard of Bruce Springsteen lol
 
Welcome back Bob, hope the health issues are not causing too many problems. It'll be a pity if you have to move after all that work on your mancave.

Great to see you back at the bench and posting again.
An interesting 'little' project you have there!
 
Nice start Bob. Kinda like a Stug with too many guns and not enough tracks…. Hope the move goes OK. Pick somewhere with an inside man cave….it really helps the mojo in the winter…..
 
A warm welcome back from me Bob.

Hope everything goes well for you and good to see you model making once more.

Cheers Pete. We live by Roath Park lake and on the side of a hill. So steps to get in and a staircase to get to the garden. So I feel we really have no choice but to move, Julies arthritis plus Cancer recovery then add my ME means it's a struggle most days then you have the internal stairs as well.

Hi Tim, yep a room to do modelling and painting is at the back of my mind. A lot of bungalows have dorma rooms which although will have stairs would be ideal. Easy access to the loft space and I could move my books and bookcases up there as well that would please Julie. We will have to see?
