Thanks...

to all the people that visit my blog and all those that have put links up on their sites. Since i started with the stats in July I've had nearly 900 visits and I've discovered i have links to my site from several other very popular sites (unsolicited too). This has all been terific for my google rankings and now "Panther Build" falls on the first page of a google search, so thank you all. I hope to have the decals soon and can get the beast to the finish line.

Waiting on decals

It's now been 5 months since I last posted and for that matter touched my panther. I'm waiting on some decals that Lawrence Goh is making for me and there have been a couple of delays. He normaly makes 1/35th decals but decided to help me out with my project but in order to get the quality he wanted in this scale he needed to change printers and that has been the hold up. He sent me his proof sheet to look at and they are fantastic, i can't wait to get my hands on the finished product. I'll put up a link to his site when I can find it.
In the mean time I've nearly finished the Dragon T34/76 1940 kit I got to the tracks and as everyone knows they are terrible and I can't decide what to do, as this was supposed to be an real Out of the Box build i don't want to replace them but ... I've also finished several figures I'll stick some pics up soon.
