Boots, what's going on bro? You said I was close, but no cigar. I thought it was a hooky thing you had in mind. I was way way off. You had me in suspenders all the time dude  |

Ah yes, now that must have been the original plan . You need 3 of these to tow a Tiger  . Boots have you got 3 Famos? I can help you out with a second if not, and only if you're willing to go for it, I'll even chuck a Tiger in if you do  |

LMAO...........if i had the space i`d take you up on it , unfortunately i havn`t got 3 FAMO`s.........was nearly tempted by the trailer at one point tho |

I know what mean fella , 3 of 'em and a Tiger 1 would be about five feet long at a guess . Grand start there though , I loved building mine back then it was pure fun all the way  . Apart from the dudes  . |

If i emptied my shelf of done builds it would work......but.....i gotta find room for a fekin` gert Hind as well........not that it fits on a shelf anyway!! I may well clear a shelf one day as i wanna finish the FAUN trailer and load plus i would like to put somat behind this such as a trailer or 21cm Morser 18 etc.....i`ll make it my trailer shelf This funny enough is my favourite engine to build and it`s typical Tam fit and quality thru and thru.......i don`t normally build the same vehicle twice (T55`s are an exception btw as are a limited few more) but for the cause and the pleasure of building it i didn`t hesitate to pull the trigger on this one...........and it`s a weathering dream ...........not decided on theatre yet but leaning towards a North African useage..........havn`t done a Des Yellow one for a while ..........nice bit of sand blasted paintwork required me thinks Cheers fella |

A trailer shelf sounds fantastic Boots . And the Afrika-Korps-Braun over a Dunkelgrau base coat will be bloody awesome fella . Sounds like the painting plan has already kicked in |

Post by Boots on Jan 4, 2020 20:17:59 GMT
To be honest mucker i prefer to work with the lighter colours such as yellows/sand, W/W, faded greens etc coz it shows weathering affects well Like the idea of ya colour choice .........thats one idea now engraved in my ideas dept ........as for painting plans in general..........the Sherman was gonna be green and look what happened to that!! Possible go for On Track for me |

Boots, the Afrika-Braun isn't as dark as it sounds. It's also available from Revell Aqua colours and quite cheap . These are good paints, and thin with glass cleaner or water, but prefer the glass cleaner . Will be good to meet up at On-Track if possible, been a long time since the last meeting  |
