Small update to the Bomb Room ceiling…
Added Tamiya Masking tape bands onto the pipes. 
Painted the ceiling with Vallejo Interior Grey Green (71.305). For the pipes, I went with Vallejo Magnesium Metal Color (77.711).

Decided to bench the Tamiya Panther G for a few weeks after discovering a forgotten shelf queen, an Italeri Panther A. The lower hull was mostly assembled.
Decided to make it into a Panther D with zimmerit. Cavalier Zimmerit from back in the day and Chesapeake Model Design Panther D turret.

Lately, nothing interesting…
Been feeling a bit out of it lately — lack of MoJo and all. 
Sooo, I backed-up to take a look at the broader picture (Refer: ‘The Usual Suspects’ movie) and decided to try and make some sense of my “PanzerWerks” — long overdue.
The other week, I added a three-drawer cabinet into the mix, rearranging and tossing un-needed crap as I went along my merry way. 
Yesterday, I added a couple of shelves to the airbrush area (RH wall). I think that helps. 
Then, the moment of truth… I grabbed every single bottle of paint off of the table and out of random project boxes and placed them back on the paint shelf. I kinda,’ sorta’ categorized them by related colors, but I know I’ll never be able to find anything again!
There’s still more work to do…
Happy modeling again… I hope.

Kudos to the Armor Research Company. Very happy with this 1980’s era product.
Edit - added frames & nuts for rectangular screens.

So much great work in this thread.
So shooting season is over and it’s time to get back to this thing. I think the decals are cured.

After a couple o’ cups of Jo, I got some MoJo back… 
This has been on the back-burner forever… finally got it fired-up again. 
Chain Drive jig and assembly.
That was easy… NOT!
