After trying some new techniques I'm at this stage. I'm waiting for some stowage from Black Dog and also need to put on some antennas and such and spray a dust coat on it.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.
Then I started the Pz IV. The typical Hase 1/72 armor build. Starting with the turret, road wheels and hull. I skipped the road wheel step to complete the hull.
As I was looking through the instructions, this struck me funny.
What?

More 1/72 armor Steve? I think Mark has some competition here!
"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."
It's about time! I've been so "lonely" here. All y'all have each other to feed off of when building your larger scale models!
Now I can watch a Master build in my scale and learn something. As for competition, he may have me beat in quality but come talk to me about quantity when he reaches 800 1/72 scale armor models!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
Yeah don't forget us who do them weird 1/76 scale stuff!
I am doing the 1/76 Half Track to go with the Matador I recently did.

No, I'll never catch up with Mark. I have several 1/72 armor kits including the Sdkfz 7 and towed 88. They came with the Pz IV. I need to gather all my kits and pack them into some totes so we can show the house when the time comes. I'll leave out the kits I plan to build next year. Not sure when we're moving. It all depends on many things, finding a job for one and selling this house for two.

John, Glad to see your work there too. Cool! That looks better than my set that I did oh so many years ago!
Declan, I have also built 1/76 scale armor. In fact, barring resin kits; I think I've built every available 1/76 scale model ever released.
MC, that PzIV is looking fantastic!
