I have been a little quiet but that doesn't mean I haven't been working! The Panzer is completed!

And so is the dio!!!!!

Everything is stuck down. All I need to do is mount it in a frame, which I have. Just need to cut it down to size. I intend to print off the original artwork and type a few lines, which I will then laminate and attach next to the dio in the frame.

Close ups!

I also have a problem. I can't make Telford as I am working (yet again) so I need to get this to someone who is attending. The question is who can I send it to/deliver it to (Live near Peterborough, work in Welwyn Garden City) and when?

That looks great Ian and brings back memories of my early attempts at wargaming. The drooping guns are part of the charm IMHO - I think most of the Airfix figures did that :grin:

Do you drive the tank down the street making machine gun noises and speaking German? I reckon I would.
