Thank you 570 , a seat has been reserved for you at the front.

..... anyone touches the Hobnobs and I'll set Cohan on em
Andy two seats for you a Cohan and a lamp to keep him warm.
Chris , no fires, unless the welder sets fire to some rubbish , look out for Matron, apparently shes in disguise !SAME as Rickan will there be a conflageration as the burner gets out of controll ? as we havnt seen any fires from you for quite a while makes me think i drempt it
chrisb
Possibly the safest place to be Peter. The Rabble are out in force and squabbling has already broken out over the Hobnobs.
Hi Andy, good to see you.
Hi Neil, yes seen some suitable lights for the welding, with a random blue light.
You should be Lee, just keep away from the left hand side door !

'Panzer Destroyer' by Vasiliy Krysov. I thought I had recommended it some time ago, as it was a memoir of a Red Army commander of a platoon of SU122 & later SU85. Good small unit action w/maps.
Many thanks Paul, I'll see if it's available in Kindle, easier for for eye .Just checked , apparently I bought this in 2021, no doubt when you recommended it. ! Will check my Kindle and find it and reread .

Yes the Rabble get like that when seated during a build . Your idea is the best bet , but be aware of people who look to be in disguise Chris .
I thought I was sitting by him wonder who it was I’ll move over and try to give him room upfront.

I am aware John in case its Matron with arms like popeye wonder id she smokes a pipe ?
chrisb
Good idea Lee.
Now Chris the muscle's like Popeye might be a clue, but do you think a lady like her woulds smoke a pipe ?
Andy Capp roll ups perhaps……Good idea Lee.

Mmm don't think I'll ask she if she smokes Tim, perhaps Chris can !
I don’t think he’s that brave John…..I know I’m notMmm don't think I'll ask she if she smokes Tim, perhaps Chris can !
Are we sitting comfortably ? then I will begin.
A search of the cave has found a suitable picture frame for the box dio front.
Shall be using landscape I think, but depends on the hight of the SU .
Also found a workshop kit, not convinced the frame would be strong enough to lift an engine .
The kit for the SU is large, mainly due to the fact that's its a full internal kit. Not all going to be used unfortunately. The main engine and gear box will be fully used. So plenty to sort out as I start the assembly.
Had a quick look at the tracks
. there appear to be some pins, a more detailed check needed on these. They are not going to confound me this time ! Perhaps some one who has built these Mini Art tracks could help please.
The SU
The good thing its barrel is short, more like a StuG . ( Sorry Bob )
Back to the kit
Upon opening the box I was faced with,
Crammed full of sprues.
Soon marked up .
The main box contains some smaller sprues full of tracks, and so,e of those pins, along with shells, fuel tanks etc.
The instructions are superb, very detailed and as far as I can see free of any flash.
The supplier of the foam board kindly rang me yesterday to ask would I accept one black board with the other 9 as they had a shortage. Not a problem as that can go behind a wooden wall .
So a lot to do on the kit its self, the board should be here next week postal disruptions willing.
Found some perfect lights, including a mix of yellow and blue intermitted flash for the welding..
See you soon, thanks for looking in.
