    Jim's Re-Hab center.

    Grabbed a couple of ancient dust shelf denizens and decided to give them new life. I usually do this when I get bored or frustrated with current projects and need to cleans the palate a bit.
    Grant tank was a project my son built as a boy, it's the old Tamiya kit.

    Decided to strip her down and turn her into a makeshift artillery tractor... a field expediency version.

    Second off is an old Lee, also the old Tamiya kit from an ancient diorama I built way back in the early 80s.
    It's actually on the site, God knows how many pages back called "Chasing Rommel" I think.

    Enhanced stowage a bit, many old photos show that in the desert crews tried to cover as much of their equipment and effects so as to attempt to keep out
    the all smothering dust that infiltrated and fouled up everything.

      All canvas work is tissue folded over several times and soaked in white glue and water. All still very rough around the edges. I've noticed a few seams and such that would have never got by me today, all will be corrected in good time though. Project in dirty wash stage at present, color and shading to be tweaked and a suitable base for display found.
      Hardly no time lately to keep up a decent pace but I try to find a bit of time here and there.

      Thanks for looking in....Jim

              Thanks guys, I'm always a bit leery about allowing access to the 'sausage factory'. It's always an ugly affair to view the process.

                      Scrappy is certainly looking the DB's. Good luck with the Long Tom. If you need reference photos I have a load of them.

                        What would life be without sausages? Great progress on "Scrappy" looking forward to the "Tom
                        Long" :smiling5: build.
                        Cheers, Rick H.
