Thank you gentlemen. Did a minor tidy & mislaid my decals. Will post when done with 23AI B Co.

[Steve Jones]

Dont tidy!! We all know where things are when we dont tidy:smiling5:

So right Steve. I had too many things going at once and was running out of room, so I was forced to. Believe it or not they were in the container they belonged in. I've since been diligently cutting & sorting these itty-bitty decals trying to come up with twenty 7thArmored, 23rdAI and B Co. 31-35 & 41-44 bumper #s. These are white on white paper so very difficult to cut & verify. PaulE

Deecs lookin good! Could you do a close up of the assault gun platoon? Thanks for sharing Dad!

Finally done except for 3" gun crews. I have the "in action" gun crews, but not the "in the track" as ROCO z-298s are very rare. Tomorrow Paul, I'm cross-eyed from these @!$#%&^*( decals.

Oh man!!! Your output is amazing Paul. Its nearly the end of August and I'm yet to finish anything :crying::crying::crying:

Being retired helps Mick. I try to get 6hrs a day on the bench or research. Prolly avg. 24-30hrs/wk. Spotted a shortage of Water Buffalo so am semi-scratching two more. Nobody makes them in my scale so I tear up some ROCO post war 1.5ton cargo trailers for their frames & wheel assys. & cut off some loading hatches from post war water trailers and semi-scratch the rest.

That's outstanding work Paul. You must have serious eye strain after doing all those decals. All very impressive

[minitnkr]

It was a very small tidy Dzhon. My local witch says I'm not allowed to share. PaulE

Thanks Steve. Why decal makers don't use contrasting paper is beyond my understanding. I did find I-94 publishing uses a blue tint in their paper and that helps a great deal w/white & pale yellow decals. Their offerings are of excellent quality. PaulE
