German Panzer I Ausf A (Late Version) HobbyBoss/Tristar

Excuse me Steve.

Hi Steve,
Keep going, all that seam work has worn you down - one of my pet hates cleaning up seams and wheels.
I know it is a bit late for your build, but if you do another as in your Panther, make a template up by laying the model on its side on a sheet of thick card and then you can get a rough idea of the shape you need to obtain for the track shape.
I have posted this one to give you an idea, this is for my Light tank and Bren carrier.
Cheers, Mike.

Hi Everyone

Glad you like the engine Si. Not to shabby eh? :smiling3:
I laughed out loud to that one Richard:smiling5: Maybe we can corner the market on Panzie - The Engine Robot. I will start thinking of some story lines:smiling2::smiling:
Looking forward to greasing it up Steve. Its a shame so little of it will be seen when finished:tired:
Maybe we should have a Panther fest Graeme. I know someone else who would be interested:upside:
Thanks for the golden tip Mike. I will certainly bear it mind on the next side. Many thanks
You are excused JR :smiling:. Cant beat a nice bit of banter!

Hi Steve.,
Cracking build, I must admit with your skills with the wet stuff I wondered why you don't make more OOB, if you're serious I would be up for a Pantherfest later in the year.

Shiver...the sprue attachments were giving me goose bumps Steve. The parts are many for a small tank but thankfully they look well engineered as complete sections to be glued unlike the nightmare that Dragon does:smiling6:...if it's a box they'll give you 8 parts including the hinges and no part numbers.:tears-of-joy:

Looking good...your oob's are just as good as your enhanced builds.

Cheers,
Richard

A little advise here...don't go lifting off anything from the Transformers trilogy or Gundamns, they've got the mullahs to sue the pants off anyone. But then Panzie sounds like an original. :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard

Wow, that engine looks so oily! More incredible work Steve - especially on parts that will hardly be seen.

Hi Steve
The engine looks superb. Shame it won't really be seen. Well done cleaning up those parts - worth it though.

Hi Everyone

It is some what annoying it will all get covered up Peter, but at least we have the build blog for people to refer too for future builds
Cheers Paul. Appreciate the feedback
Great to have you here Ian. Hope you enjoy the blog
Nothing worse than doing all this work and then seeing a seam line Jim. That's why I gave up on figures. No matter how much I cleaned them up I still managed to leave a seam line somewhere:smiling5:

Really nice Steve! BTW, thanks for the pics.
