Hello everyone, You're about to witness an epic hobby feat, it might be the greatest hobby project I get done or the worst fail, either way it ahiuld be fun, so let's get this started... Tuesday Nov. 24th 1744hrsI'm on my way back home, my train ride is half way and I'm trying to remember how many tanks I have to build yet, I think it should be just a handful, so if I start after gettin E to bed, i might get everythind built and if I'm focus maybe even primed

Wed. 25th 0110hrs
8 Tanks and two M42 AA ready for primer, not bad considering all the flashing these models have and that I got distracted with a movie and a diaper change for my kid
I have the day off so I'll have some more time to continue, for now it's time to go to bed

I have a similar challenge.
3 Magach & 3 Centurion tanks in need of construction and barrel magnetization.
2 down, 4 to go.

Friday 27th 1341hrsPriming is finally done, after the lack of cooperation from my airbrush it just took twice the time it should, lets see how it handles the base color, which usually flows easier (knock on wood) Right now it seems that I might not pull this one off

My paper due in 5 hours and 40 minutes has been quite the time consumer, but I was able to magnetize the barrels and turrets and assemble all of the tanks. My goal for tomorrow has now been extended to include building all four of my Isherman tanks. I realize it is not on the scale of Rod's undertaking, or George's, but it is a lot of work for the time that I have had available. Good luck to you, Rod. I'm sure they will look great on the table tomorrow.

Saturday 28th 0913hrsCammo pattern was quick, I think I can call this a moderate success The tanks have no details or shadows or highlights, but they look really nice and I'm quite happy with the result, I really missed painting and proved that I can paint at night after E goes to bed Here they are...
