Gremlin56 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Instead of corrupting HD Judy's thread I'll start a new blog for this unusual German Panzer. I'll slot the boxy pics in later. This is progress so far: 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Julian It's a weird machine Francis, the "box of rolling shoes" is a good name, to me it resembles an armored garden slug On 30-5-2017 at 7:36 PM, beefy66 said: So any thoughts on the nickname for this build Boxing Boris maybe. beefy Hi Keith, reminds me of a garden slug you don't mess around with On 30-5-2017 at 8:16 PM, longshanks said: Yeah Steam Punk !!

Gremlin56 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 3/6 update. Fitted the control station today. Fit was rather iffy so I went for heavy measure using super glue to subdue the slug and I was just congratulating myself on a job well done when I realized I had fitted the deck a**-backwards . After major surgery and much harsh language this is the steam-punky effect:: My French WW I and WW II tank colors set arrived, should make the Renault Ft look like Gruber's little tank: Time for a Picpoul de Pinet with some nice cheese........................................................... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Drat, you have caught on to my secret Be warned young Kev, only use your stirring balls in lukewarm fluids, certainly not in hot soup or tea or "the farce may not be with you" or was it "may the force be with you"? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 4/6 update. After all the excitement concerning stirring balls I added the forward bulkhead and main gun. Also popped in the ammunition storage for the main gun: Yes, most certainly a slug................................................................................................................... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Reminds me of the Fiat Multipla: a car designed by a committee that never actually met ........................... It's plug ugly, reminds me of a slug. Only thing I can think of. Really. Nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
