Requiring an "OD god" such as yourself to build and paint a German vehicle is beyond the scope of reason. Perhaps "the force" is hindering this evil Panther shipment to Da Kiwi Dude

Could be the Fluvians also.

You are in our thoughts Lord OD

So, reports of "Sluggish" progress have been recieved by the G]SO and we are intirely disturbed by the lack of focus on the pigs of DSB. Some of you are clearly NOT procrastinating as much as you possibly can. Helga has stated that for the proper interrogations to take place; a) All kits were are to be built but aren't found are to be sought after with a metal detector made from a stalk of celery, a empty can of campbels condensed Cream of butter soup (the full can trials were marred with explosions, sprains, and a rash we can't explain and will thank you not too ask about....EVER) and a used copy of Titanic. B) Kits found and moved closer to workbench areas are to be researched and probed for extra-terrestrial life and fluvian bugs (which should have been declared at customs before being brought into the country). C) All enterants are to report for Pain Proccessing and Integration classes by the 32nd of this month at exactly 4:23 DSBST.
Compliance will be marked in your permenant files which noone but the GSO, His most High, Lord Pakish, SLDDA, and anyone with a Phantom zone projector in the shape of a garden gnome (which, GeneralZod, Mine has gone to Amsterdam and taken up shop as a Strap installer in houses of ill repute!). All others are put on notice to not notice that we have noticed the noting of our notification notice. Now, where is my sponge bath sandpaper.......

Don't believe it Lord Kiwi, our nefarious HK friend probably blew the money for the kit on an all nighter with Helga. The little dude is a "smoothie" ya know.

The resin cockpit etc has been fitted into the fuselage of my Me 163 and now requires painting. However all projects have been put on hold except for my Hawker Typhoon, which I am trying to finish for the Overlord 2004 campaign. If there is still time (what is the finish date for this?) I will continue with the 163 next

I've fallen a little behind with the Bv 155 due to being busy at work and with feature articles and banners etc for site.
It is nearly ready for paint though. Hope to catch up in the next week or so.

Cheers

I have made alittle more progress on my Tamiya M26 Pershing since the last forum post. I have to put on a decal on the side of the turret before I can add the other three (3) spare track links to it. If I can get back to the bench every night this week, I think it'll be finished my next week.

Hi All,
did first colour top side on the Bv 155.
I'm doing reverse mask method. I.e. top colour first, mask then second colour and so on.
The wifes got the digicam so I'll have to try and borrow the one in the office, if I do, pics posted soon.

Cheers

Hi there

Hmmm... June 21st...

I think it's time to admit I've absolutely NO chance of finishing by then! (Starting... maybe...)

Having committed to building the SBD, I will definitely do so... but it'll have to be in my own time - there's at least 3 month's work in there at my pace - it's too good a kit to waste by rushing it... Sorry Helga!

I'll post pics of the Dauntless when I can - sometime in the Autumn, probably.

All the best and well done everyone who made the deadline.

Rowan
