Hello! Just wanted to show my latest project... Everything is scratchbuilt except for the drilling machine and the air-compressor and the posters on the wall came out of my printer on thin self adhesive paper which turned out quite well once they were coated with some matt... I really shouldn't spend to much typing here since the largest model-competition in Sweden is this weekend and I have too much left to do... Lucky me the latest I can turn in the models is at noon on Saturday so there should be plenty of time to finish the tank and some figures ( I hope )... Cheers Sven-Åke        |

Holy moly, that is some great detail work there Sven, it looks really convincing. If the tank turns out as good as the shop then you should do a feature about it! I'm really impressed. Now, get off of the pc and get 'er done! |

Excellent work!
A sidenote, though. Fort Knox is in the state of Kentucky, not Michigan.

Just another proof of my deteriorating short term memory Yoni  Checked the references at work and thought to myself, ha that's easy to remember... So I did NOT write it down and once home I typed what was in my head and there is no explanation for how that Michigan got mixed up inside my head... Well thanks for pointing it out!!! Cheers Sven-Åke |

Thanks Hisham  Always fun to play tricks with you The Compressor and Drill comes from Goffy and they are quite nice... The packaging could be better because many of the parts were brokne when they reached my mailbox  Best Regards Sven-Åke |

Thanks Rudi No, there's only the walls for the room which the door leads to so the entire back of the dio is painted matt black... Cheers Sven-Åke |

Very nice. Great attention to detail. Touches my heart - I was there 40 years later and things were about the same (except Holder). LOL Edit: Could use a figure or two for scale... |

Thanks!!! I will try to do atleast two figures but since I'm on a tight schedual with the competition only two days away I might skip the figures just to be able to finish it but I do agree that figures will help the scene both scalewise and also bring more life to it... Best Regards Sven-Åke |
