G'day,

Sure is a very in-debpth (typo!) build Bill.

I've never seen so many Jerry cans!

Also a very interesting spare track placement. I see something new every day.

Cheers,
Chas

Thanks Chas, that's what I get for typing the announcement late on a Saturday.

Your tank came out incredible!! I enjoyed watching your build from beginning to end and look forward to seeing more of your builds in the future. I learned a few things also,thanks Bob

Great build - now where is that Tiger I that goes along with it

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Bob for the comments, glad it will be of some help to you.

Jesper,

The box-art has an interesting possibility for pairing it up with some Tiger 1s, almost certain someone will do the dio of it in the near future.

Nice finish Bill. Once again can I see that undreside now that it's finished? I am rounding the corner in assembly on mine. Sure wish my camera and my computer were working.

James,

Not sure if these will help you more than the other shots, but here you go. I can't turn it all the way upside down like I did in the WIP photos due to limited handling surfaces.

Thanks Bill good enough.

Jaw dropping good Bill.

A great build.
Looks like a save to me

Thanks Jeff, appreciate the comments.

Outstanding Build ! I always seem to learn somthing about the hobby from viewing everyones projects. Very Cool Panzer III. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks milvehfan. I agree about reading about other people's projects, always pick up little things here and there by seeing how others tackle verious issues or approach things. Virtually all of my exposure to model-related subjects is via the Internet and can't tell you how invaluable a resource it is for past, present, and future learning and evolution. Someone's always coming up with a newer/better way to do things and when they share that in a community such as Armorama, everyone benefits. I try to do the same thing with my work even if sometimes it's a better example of how NOT to do something.
