[Way too many people out there telling you that the particular shade of RLM65 I used on that Messerscnitt wasn't actually in use between June and October 1943[/quote]

Hi Zeke, Sorry to correct you but it`s spelt "Messerschmitt"  and by 1943 the undersurface colour of german aircraft had changed to RLM 76 a much paler and lighter tone of blue-grey

PS sorry could not resist  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Made a little more progress on this one. Added a boom for an antenna array of some sort.

Whoa!  :o :thumbsup: :bow:

The antenna mast could also be the arm of a trebuchet or something like that! 12th century siege tank!  :wacko:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

If I may ask, the reason you didn't call it "Maus II" was because it was just too obvious? :cheers:

It's great to see you working on this project again, Mr Ops. I just love builds using "found objects". The boom you added along with the whimsical shape makes me think of Dr Seuss.

very nifty !!   an artickelated version tickels my fancy ....

you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

I'm not sick ... just a little unwell.

Very imaginative BlackOps, I like the way you can create way out models with everyday stuff.

I've always wondered what I could do with this, it's actually a muscle massaging tool.  The other thing is how would I explain to the missus what happened to it  :wacko:
