Si B’s- Academy Hetzer early....

[prichrd1]

Yes that’s true. Mrs B has an amazing knack of using every wooden spoon and saucepan when cooking....I’ve tried training but it normally ends with me being ushered from the kitchen :smiling5:

Wooden spoons and wooden saucepans - just where do you live?? :upside::smiling::flushed:, so sounds like a recipe for disaster - Just don't tell 453 Race.

Looking good with the detail so far - keep it going.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

John,
You wouldn’t believe the mess we made! You ever see how good a three yr old sieves flour?.........couldn’t see the worktop under the mess when we finished.....and I think she pinched more fruit than got put in the cakes:smiling5:

But what were those hard gritty bits ???

Using all the tools in the kitchen - she is down there now - lost three dogs and a pair of wellies, sounds like a mad mans drum kit, I need a cup of tea, but there is no way I am venturing into that madhouse,

...and that is just peeling the carrots..... Mike.

Looks like I missed out on the rock cakes....
Still, the Hetzer is looking good, the kit PE is pretty good.

Mike, if gritty bits are blue, there’s a good change it’s dried up play-doh....
if it’s square and red it’s probably Lego....yum yum yum:hungry::smiling5:

I see faithful hound is patiently waiting for something to drop on the floor:smiling4:
I miss my dog so much, I rarely had to sweep the kitchen floor after cooking:smiling5:

Don’t worry Graeme, Johns got one in his pocket that he saved for you....mind you it’s been in there since yesterday and I think he wrapped it in his handkerchief :sick::tongue-out2:

Late arrival here Si, just in time to miss the cakefight:smiling:, neat work on the running gear and tracks.:thumb2:

Nice modifications too, did the kit have the mesh PE or was it AM?

Hi Fernando,
It can get a bit messy when the rabble are feeding! You timed it right, most are sleeping off their Sunday lunch!


The kits came with the mesh screen, exhaust shield and the sliding part that goes under the mesh screen...


Thanks for looking in mate:smiling4:

Tonight update inbound......


So with some questions answered about the details, I set to adding a couple of bits.
First up was the extra track holding clamp on the rear hull...






Then made up the missing two hooks that should be on the rear hatch, for the tow cables to be hung on...I remember Mike C, saying about flattening copper wire, so I had a go myself to make the hooks. The exact positions are a bit hazy as there seem to be small differences between vehicles made at different factory’s. So somewhere on the rear hatch seems the norm:smiling5:



Side skirts attached, leaving one piece out one each side.



And then she gets her little trunk!


So very nearly there now, just the MG mounted up top and it’s pretty much done

Thanks for looking

Get another, we have two and a half Bassets, the other half is Beagle, and came with the Beagle attitude, but she is starting to settle now, cost a fortune in vallium and other relaxing non medicines....

....And, he has the most awful cold, and where is he putting that chewing gum ????

Si,
The build is coming along great, but that yellow plastic . Still more good stuff to come.
Cheers, Mike.

[Si Benson]

Thanks very much Mike:smiling4:

The kit plastic isn’t really that yellow. That blue background seems to make it look worse....think I’m going to look into a light tent thing:smiling3::thinking:


Ok, so it’s done:smiling4:






It’s all together apart from tow cables which I’m in the process of making. As mentioned, the wheel and tracks are not glued up, neither is the hull top and bottom or the MG so I can pull it apart for paint.

A very quick simple build. I’m going to ditch the Tamiya paint and go for airbrushing acrylic , something which historically gives me trouble!
Thanks for looking

Si, looks good, good luck with the paint.

cheers
