I try Keith, I try.
Sometimes it seems that the whole world is out to kill me, and there are My Guardians that keep deflecting everything thrown at me.
I use a power chair to get around, a while ago 2 Years maby, I was crossing from the parking lot to the grocery store at the crossing point, and was hit and killed by a speeding pickup truck.
The last thing I remembered was the truck bumper almost to my nose. Well some force pulled my spirit out and I found myself sitting beside the crossing in my chair still alive. Mabey a different reality or universe, almost exactly the same. this is only one of many.
I try, I really do

I have decided that I an not going to continue with the Das-Werk postings intermixed with these.
The complete build is poster here in the Forems. This is a lot more work and I can’t do it anymore.
Back to the Trumpeter build.








I’m working on the track now , It is molded in a Metallic Grey plastic so except for the Rubber pads it doesn’t need any painting, There are a Million and one parts there.



Finished for a while.

Yes it definately worked Donald.

Tracks in metallic plastic. makes me wonder why all the 1/16th Panzer tracks Trumpeter and others have done over the years are in cack brown LOL But it something other makers could consider.

Here is a slightly easier way of installing the tiny Mid Connector.





I think that this works better than snapping the Connector in.
Well this made it easier on my sore fingers.
