Hi all, I finally got hold of a digital camera to take some pictures of the Panzer III tank I finished a couple of weeks ago. The pictures can be found on Brickshelf at: (URL) also finished my German Ju-87B Stuka Dive Bomber, and put pictures of it (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general) !

Thanks Eric, I've appreciated your comments all along. It bears mentioning again (I posted about it when I replied to your Project 1138 airplane) that the pilot's seat in the Stuka is a direct ripoff of your fabulous quilted fabric airplane seat. I (...)

Thanks! I originally had the tank all in light grey, but I decided to opt for the contrast of the two-tone color scheme. I wanted it to come across looking like the splotchy camo patterns that were hastily applied. The tracks are indeed (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

That Stuka is awsome! That's a very difficult thing to model in LEGO because of all the funny curves, but your design really mimics the actual shape nicely. Brad Shaun Sullivan <shaun_sullivan@irco.com> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Amazing Shaun! Like I said in previous posts or e-mails (can't remember), all your WWII models are divine; the level of detail and accuracy is amazing, and the way you've handled all the curves and angles is excellent too. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Shaun, The Stuka is amazing ! IMHO, your best model yet and that's saying something because your other stuff is great. -Xanthra47 PS. Do you take requests ?

Thanks! I'm very pleased with how it turned out - getting the gull-wing shape the way it looks now took over three weeks exclusively, during which time I refused to work on any other aspect. Once I stumbled upon the design, the rest took about a (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Shaun, I like the Stuka, and even the canopy looks good. I've though about modeling WWII planes, but I always get stuck on the canopies. George (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Thanks Mark, If I manage to do it, it's not going to be easy to walk away from the WWII constructions. And if I do, I have to admit it probably won't be permanent. As I mentioned in another post, I have to even out my forces at some point - I'll (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
