              Just caught up with this Paul, very interesting indeed, you've got your own little 'man cave' world to delve into, when the nagging reaches that certain crescendo :flushed:
              Imagine yourself sitting next that nice warm radiator with a frothy pint, just looking about and planning your next phase of construction....you lucky dog!

              Cheerio! Jim.

                      That's a nice price RickH. They were $32 when they were first released. I bought this one in 2015 along w/their Sturmtiger.
                      Still working on wiring design Greg.

                        Paul. I posted one of these in Completed Armor section when I first joined the forum. If you take a look, (it's on page 5) there are WIP pics. that show just how out of scale these are. Thought you might be interested. Rick H.:thinking:

                          I remember, that's why this one's an orphan and in a building where it's shortcomings will not be as evident. The ArsenalM's were much closer although resin & muddy in places and close in price. PaulE

                                Nice update Paul. Those chains and welding kit must be minute. Keep up the great work
