Allen,

Cracking work mate love the details you are adding.

[Fernando N]

Great to see the interior is fitting together nicely my friend.:smiling:
Cool to have the different coloured parts so all the work is best seen.:thumb2:

Best is just to the north of Eindhoven, 7 kilometres from the show will take just 10 minutes of driving time.:smiling4:
No cool week for me too, hope despite the temperature you still have a great week too.

[Steve Jones]

Juno is how us common folk say it, not like you posh Europeans:smiling5:

Outstanding work on the interior. Certainly some of your best work

[Si Benson]

Evening Allen,

Had to have a big catch up, I’ve missed loads of goings on! I’m blown away at your excellent scratch works...I’d have made a box and covered it with a tarp:smiling5:
Really impressed mate...keep on keeping on:thumb2:

Moggle on,

Hi Allen, I've just had a interesting half hour just catching up on this ( as Gregory say's ) seriously impressive build, and you've hardly touched the tip of the iceberg, in the scheme of the whole build. Looking forward to more updates.

Hi Allen i was off for 3 weeks and I just had a catch up with your progress! Your attention to detail is amazing! This will probably the most accurate diorama gonna be i ever see! Well done looking forward for more regards Danny

Good Evening Patient Rocketeers,

First I must apologise for not responding sooner to all your wonderful comments and encouragements. The heat here in the Fatherland has not receded and it has only gotten hotter. Not a drop of rain and every day over 35° C. Table time, even with the fan on hurricane mode, is a total waste only being able to wear the optivisor for a couple of minutes before the headband is soaking wet. It really sucks as the mojovation is still flying higher than the ISS space station…...

Paul - Thanks so much buddy! I only wish I could do more.
Fernando - Thanks and the different colors are from all the old tidbits I've found in the spares box and have hacked up to use. Great that you're so close. You in the north and me in the south. Stay cool if you can...
Stevie - Posh Europeans??? I'm gonna have to come over and show you how posh we really are. It doesn't matter where you are. It's just too damn hot my friend. Thanks for good words!!!
Si - You are much to kind Sir. I bet the box with the tarp was a showstopper. Your work is always top notch...
Rick - Thank you too Rick! I figure if you scratch one in 1/35, wash it in hot water and then throw it in the dryer for an hour, it may shrink down to about 1/87 and fit right in. Then again, it could just be the beer talking!!! Take care...
Jim - Thank you Jim! I only wish I could keep going, but at the moment, it's not possible. Friday it is supposed to cool down. I can only hope...
Paul E - Thinking about starting her up is good. Doing it is better. I only hope it's not as bad there as it is here heat wise. I appreciate the good words Sir!
Dude 2 - You keep me going John and for that, I can only say Thanks a lot my man!!!
Kelly - Hi and welcome to my nightmare. Rudy, he took off and is hiding in the fridge next to an old bottle of Zap-A-Gap! He's waiting for it to cool off too...
Greg - Hey buddy, you send me cooler weather and I'll scratch all the more!!!!!!!! I only hope it does get cooler for the weekend so I can drive on...
Ian - Thanks too Sir! You have hit the nail on the head as the Steyr is just one of 12 or 13 builds for the whole thing. It appears this is going to take a bit longer than I had expected...
Danny - Welcome back Sir! I take it you had a nice vacation and are ready to get back to the bench. I hope to make it 'almost' 100% accurate, but I'm in no way a rivet counter. I just give it my best shot and if it looks good, then paint it. Thanks for the big vote of confidence my friend!

Sorry that I can't show any progress., I can say that I have found and ordered 2 sets of resin wheels for the Hanomag SS-100s and a 1/48 scale resin and etch update set for the Tamiya motorcycle with side car. I just hope I can get two spoked wheels for the cable cart out of the set to mount on the sides of the Steyr...

Thanks again for all your support and I hope I can post a real update shortly. Try to stay cool and have a great rest of the week!!!

Prost
Allen
