Sorry to hear about this, Jeff. Sounds like a real pain in the neck. Our guys here in St Louis dealt with much the same back in '91.

As the title suggests, I'm seeking the True Details 1:32 resin PSP base. I can buy outright, or I have a couple of extra out of production Eduard 1:48 scale bases, and could trade one-for-one, with some extra cash thrown your way. Thanks a bunch, Kevin

Great, thanks again fellas.

Trying to simulate the rough cuts in the armor plate, kit details are a bit soft in this area.

Some (but not too much), mud has been added under sponsons, uing a mix of Acryl Blue and sand.

Surfing the web last night, I stumbled upon this picture. The frontal armor behid the gun mantlet was extraordinarily thick on the Jagdtiger, one of the reasons it was so difficult to deal with head-on.

Yes, it helps a great deal. Thanks a bunch,

I'd say Taffy 3. I like multi ship displays.

As far as I can discern, there are at least four 1:350 Tirpitz kits currently available; Tamiya, Academy, Trumpeter, and Revell AG. Aside from the Trumpeter kit, which I believe is new, all all the others just re-pops of the Tamiya kit?

This is the scheme that I've (tentatively), chosen. Scanned from a Russian publication that I can't pronounce, and based upon a very well known photograph.

OK, tonight I finished off the right side, now I'm ready for mud under the sponsons, then paint. I've added a couple of road wheels on either side, raising the vehicle, to get a better sense of poportions.

Hey Bob, I don't see a link to the 2013 show, but CRM says it's here somewhere.

Very cool indeed. I've long wanted to do a large scale pre war US Battleship with the cage masts. Too many "want to do's", so little time for it all.

Road trips can be so much fun.

Thanks Gil. I attended the nationals as well in 1991, and joined the Gateway club shortly thereafter. I had already known several local area members prior to that.
