@Barney looking good!

In my opinion, the door is too high. For some reason, the door to such buildings is made slightly taller than the average person. Maybe they do this only in our country.
In the USA you have a rich bibliography on this topic.
This book is an example; I can show a dozen more similar ones.
And I have a kitography on this topic (www.in-mirror-scale.ru).

Good stuff Yuri. Turns out I had the pdf already downloaded sometime in the past. 
I think the door is ok, the rest is a little off. I was trying 8’ in front and 7’ in the rear.
Lots of room for improvement on the next outhouse. Lots of sloppy construction techniques to clean up. The video had a stone outhouse that looked interesting to try.

Privy reference material. And outhouses. Cool idea Ryan.
I was up until 0200 local to see the end of the race. This is a picture from 2018, I think. Sadly there were no Bentleys in this years race that I noticed.
The number 912 Porsche 911 GT3R “Grello” of Manthey Racing won a very wet 12 hour race on Mount Panorama.
Anyhow, I got ambitious and primed the rest of the latest Radar Panzer. Only three more Bondo and primer applications to go to get the radar mast looking decent.
To recap: Trägerfahrzeug Rechnerverbund Artillerie left, Beobachtungspanzer Artillerie center and Umbauastz Transportfahrzeug on the right. Whew! That’s a lot of vowels.
Then I pulled this orphan out from my failed IDF 75 campaign attempt to finish it. For whatever reason the canvas is insolubly stuck to the cargo compartment and isn’t coming off.
It’s inspiration:
Sand blasted/dirty windshield. Hard to see the wiper swipe on the driver’s window
Redneck engineering tilt up thing
It was 0130 when I stopped here
I still have to get this into its final position…

Shake n bake build, because I was bored.
An old Tamiya LVTP-7 vehicle. Just to clear space on my stash for newer kits.

This book reminds me of a books I once read, which may come useful for diorama/vignette making:

Well, the canvas popped off the cargo compartment while I was messing with this. I still have to move some of the cable a bit to the left to even up the cable loops but
The Fat Frog printed T130 tracks are some of the nicest I’ve seen.
Anyhow, here’s where I stand now

Construction almost wrapped
Dragon’s detail of the MG 42 is outstanding in my opinion. Scale it up and the ATF might make a house call.

I hustled - and got some primer and painting in before the rain hit:
So, now I’ll wait for this to dry, and get after the engine
Happy model building -
Cheers

Finished my M 48 Sunday evening. I will add some “street dust” to it in the next days to make it look not so factory fresh, but other than that I call it done 
KPz M 48 A2
Bundeswehr
2./Panzerlehrbataillon 93
Munster/Germany, 1959
Kit: Revell Germany No. 03206
Paint used here was Revell No. 42 Gelboliv RAL 6014. As you can see I have corrected the left head lights. This kit has 8 (in words: eight) decals! 
My first armor build since Tamiyas MCV Type 16 in 2022. But I hope to get some more earthbound stuff done this year. Airfix new Ferret is already starring at me …

I dig it the most! Excellent result. I need one of these.

Even if placed on the bottom of the tank I just do not see the justification for hobby manufactures placing their names in a visible location anywhere on MY model.

Thanks, Al! Glad you like it. Currently Revell Germany does not have this kit in their programm. I’ve got one from the first “batch” in 2014. But you might be lucky to find one on Ebay. Or just wait. It sure will be re-released one day …

@Tank_1812 where did you find your scale rule? Been looking for one but all I find is either metric or for model railroads.
