Thank you sir ! 👍
Weekly update... This morning I arose and shot an elephant in my pyjamas... what it was doing in my pyjamas I don't know, but I shot it anyway.😖.. Unfortunalely, I missed it completely (I'm not known for missing with a gun in my hands !) 🤯 and so, its still in the room. 🤬 Elephant allowing, I'll get the Grant decalled and dun to the weathering stage today, then spend the weekend dealing with the Elephant, there's enough room for both of us hereabouts. 😎
The ICM King Tiger has made it back to the desk too and work is proceeding on it as well.😎 The King Tiger is not the Elephant I referred to earlier. The 15ft x 2ft display area is 😖 and I'm not enlarging or dismantling it ! I'll probably replace its 1/2 inch chipboard tops with 7mm ply (making it about three tons lighter)😋 but that's about all that'll happen to it. 😈
Best in loopy little circles, plot twists and turns (hopefully not for the worst !) Gomez 😉🙃
(Relax - I know wot I'm doing... I think... 🤔 )

Cheers Jed and Joe 👍
The ICM King Tiger has been removed from the equation (forgot I raided it for parts ! ) 😖
Replaced it with 2 Dragon Panther G variants, just for fun, that pair shouldn't take too long to finish (once I get em started of course !) 🤫😋
Hopefully I'll git one of them started later today, (ignoring the elephant !)
Best Gomez 😉🙃

Trust Joe to go monkeying around with the wrong kind of Elephant ! Luckily he didn't call me first (The trunk call would have cost him more than A few bananas !) 😖
Neither of the Panthers are black either ! 🤔🤫😋
Best Gomez (No time for fancy pants poster alterations, I'm actually building things !) 🤫

Progress 😎
Panther the first has its chassis and running gear assembled more to happen today 😋
Its a bit of an oddball, as will be revealed when I get to the turret...🤔

Yesterday proved to be too hot to move, so nothing more was done on the Panther 🤬.. Today's much cooler and wetter, so very conducive to doing a few styrene related manglings 😈... 'Scuse moi, my desk is calling, progress photos in a few hours, when it should be looking more like a Panther, and less like a pile of parts... 😎

Got most of it dun now 😎, back plate's on and complete with exhaust stacks, jack and stowage boxes, hull top's got its full complement of grab handles, lifting hooks, grilles, antenna mounts (inc Command Aerial "pot" down the back), just need the spare tracks and tools on both sides to be mounted and that's the hull dun, then its a matter of the oddball turret and indy link tracks (luckily just glue the links together style,😈) with any luck she'll be ready for paint by close of play tonight.🥱
I'll celebrate finishing this one by starting the other Panther 🤫, I've got a few Panthers up my sleeve to be built, so I might just stick with Panther builds for a while.. Note: I said MIGHT ! 🤔

Dun ! 😎
Just needs tracks and brass engine deck grilles 🤔- and a bit of paint of course 🤫.. That may happen today or I may decide to start another Panther, a more normal G this time.
Best Gomez 😉🙃

All good stuff Gomez
Nice tools, great Axe (that's what yanks call guitars) and the shelves look good also.
I don't know much about Tanks, but like seeing your work come together. looking forward to seeing those shelves packed with Tanks.

Cheers Jim 👍
We call guitars Axes out here too, (when we're not calling them twangers) 🤫 I've been a bit of a mad axeman for years, in bands etc; so it was about time I had another 335 style job. As for tanks, plenty more where those came from. 😈
Think I'm going to do an old Tamiya T-34/85 next, just as a break fom the complexities of Panthers 😖 after that, don't know what I'll do next 🤔, wherever the muse takes me I guess, there's a couple of post war AFV's in the unbuilt stash that seem to be calling ever louder, I'll make that decision as and when the time comes. 😋
Best Gomez 😉🙃
