What is the name of the book and the author in these pictures? I would love to find it for future projects

Good to see that everything turned out alright

Glued plastic pieces in the freezer to loosen the parts again.
I'll keep this in mind for future emergencies ...😉

will you be building a SotS?

Thanks for the nice comment.

No no,  no SotS for me.

I find it a very interesting book. And mister McKay has thought and studied about  this ship very thoroughly.

Maybe in a few years one of these two will be the next project.

After banging my head against the wall a lot (luckily the wall is not damaged 😇).

And been busy with military model building and repainting part of the house 
I managed to get one sail ready.
Normally each rope has to go around the yard 2 times, but on this small yard this is too much. One time around looks better.

The wrong methode (bottom) and the better metode (top)

And I am now the proud owner of this book.

With this very useful info for me. So I'm not going to adjust the mizzen sail.

Thanks for comments, following and likes

The box art looks a bit lighter and Mephisto at the Queensland museum looks like its painted in sand . brown / green camouflage. Do you have any insights?

Not much actually.
It's been a long time since I've built a German WW1 tank 
I'm going to look in my book first.

The Germans is WWI and WWII were very good at re-purposing other countries' equipment, so the guns would come as no surprise.  I think that main gun that as British was designed in Germany.....   I need to do some Googling.... 

The cannons are from British/Belgium origin 

me too

An excellent choice.
I do have some info available about this model.

Thanks for the comments
But if I look closely at the photos. My painting and weathering skills have become a bit "rusty" after a summer of rigging and sailmaking on my Pelican.  

Next model will be better 😇

I build this kit years ago.

Good Luck, i follow with interest 

5 Weasels are slowly becoming active again

First to do is making the wheels and tracks. On the original resin model this was quite primitive.
The aim is to make an idler, sprocket and 4 bogies to determine the positions of the wheel assembly.
Work in (slow) progress

a primitive test bogie

Time to finish this build

Added some rust and some bare metal here and there.
Glued the model on a base plate and gave a matt black wash.

Tagged and stored with his T34 and SU brothers and sisters.

Thanks everyone for following, comments and likes.
