Whoever built that Viper diorama had way toooooooooooo much time on his/her hands!

Tim, Dude....You are a model builder...YOU CAN FIX ANYTHING!!!! Mark

Mike is right, I keep forgetting that other countries use it (hence colors vs color). Gil who's Air Force do you plan to color it in? Mark

Duke, Are you posting these from different servers? I can see the ones on the Armor forum but not the ones here. Mark

Pssssst.....Duke, They all look great and I know you work in that wonderfully incredible braille scale.....but two 76mm field guns don't REALLY count as armor. That is kinda like calling a WC-51 a tank! HAHA. Keep 'em rolling!!!! Mark

Marc, Nothing wrong with Russian Armor fans.....I love the T-34 and T-54/55 series! Heavily modified for us Middle East Wars lovers!

Yeah, Wait till you get into one of the flame wars!!! We'll see how much you are loved!

Chris, Basically it is your "BAD BOY" meter. Trust me, You won't see it change unless you have gotten a PM or email from a moderator or administrator. They will be MORE than happy to explain it too you then. Mark (one who knows)!!!

Psssst....Chris, The link for the Missing-Lynx review is to the BT-5 walk arounds on PrimePortal. Just letting you know. I think this is the link you wanted: http://www.missing-lynx.com/reviews/russia...reviewcs_1.html I gotz your back!! Mark

Les, Sometimes the gloves don't even work. I get to free handing and end up spraying past the model, the glove and unto my wrist. Ya just can't win. Mark

Chris, Don't let the airplane guys know this. They just might up and come over to the DARK SIDE! Also, That same turret design was used on almost all their armored cars. I currently (backburned to finish the Achilles) have a BA-6 that I am making into a "what if" Militia vehicle as well. Mark

Oh John, THAT FELT LIKE A BIG HINT!!!!!!

Duke, Thanks and I meant no disrespect by that comment. You kick em out like there is no tomorrow and I just don't move that fast. I still am a procrastenator! However, If I can force myself to put the wiring in, I should be able to fire the majority of the paint soon and have this almost finished. Then I can start working on my backlogs. Mark

Chris, My name is not "Duke"! I NEVER race. Sorry. I am a terrible procrastinator. I just trudge along and do what I can. Unfortunately, My next burst probably won't be until I get the 17 Pdr rounds for the hull and then I will procrastinate about painting them. I hate painting! You keep plogging along on the Tiger. I love the way the PE Zimmerit turned out! Mark

Chris, Thanks. This was supposed to be a review build. I need to research more before volunteering and opening my big mouth. I thought it was going to be a simple, "throw on a few extra parts". Not the case. The turret and late model gun has made this more into a conversion and I feel bad about that. Hopefully John will forgive me. Mark

Depending on what you paint, you can use the cardboard idea set on top of a masking tape roll. It is only as expensive as you imagination and wallet.

Can't wait to see the Kfir in colors!!!

Labor Day weekend progress Most of the interior turret is done. I need to add some cabling and that should be it. Would love to trade out those 3in rounds for 17 pdrs though. However, not going to scratch the mounts or paay for a aftermarket set. Ladder (partial), storage rack and bumper stops for the engine doors.

Looking GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HaHa....Now that one WAS good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have to agree!

Pat, This is reversed but I think this is how the hood is held up. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Can...ountry_2007.JPG A different one... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:194...h_trailer_1.JPG another... http://www.olive-drab.com/od_mvg_www_jeeps_willys_ma.php

I scored big today. Mine were in the scrap booking section on an end cap with all the other Sticko type items. They had Silver (5 packs that are all mine), pink and gold (grabbed one of those as well). The cool part was I found their website: http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/sticko/products/ They are stocked at Walmart and JoAnns Unfortunately, they do not appear to make these in r-ed, blue, orange or green yet! They do carry a epoxy set of colored ones but they don't have the LENSES look. Mark

Same here. I have one just down the street so I will probably take the trip tomorrow!

Mike, Just glad ya figured it out! Mark
