Hi Paul, cheers mate.John,
Luvverly jubberly
Thanks Jon, about the limit for me size wise with the decals. Thanks to Mike I used Vallejo Gold rather than the brass. Think it does give a better look.Very nice.Those shells look great.
Jon.
Hi John
Shells look good. You are a master of the landscape - must be your interest in gardening. Any news on your ferns.
Jim
Some impressive work John. PaulE
have make, in fact the holes are the maggot exit ones. They were quite tasty done in batter. .Top Work Dude 2, but I thought I warned you about using blocks of Swiss Cheese to work on while decaling things. After a while, they start to stink and turn green!!!......
Hi Greg, thanks for looking in, hope you well .wow that is beautiful...and plus the idea for re-arming and re-fueling is great.... LUVELY and i'm really curios to see mooore..
Nice progress John!

Andy, thank you, I enjoy the majority of small fiddly stuff, other than plastic tracks !John, you must be a master of the fiddly stuff with the great work on those shells.
Andy.
John. Great job on shell and your dio is looking good as well
Wow JR those rounds came out nice. I did notice quite a bit of difference in the length of them, I assume the ones that are longer are AP rounds and the shorter are HE? At any rate, there had to have been quite a bit of "free bore" between the gun chamber and where the rifling begins. That's something I didn't know until now. Learn something everyday. Rick H.
Totally awesome dudeee! All heading in the right direction.
Yes the length of the cartridge casing is the same, just the war head being the difference. Thanks for explaining.Sorry, don‘t know John but regarding the length of the different rounds - if similar to the 88mm like I am attempting to build then the longer one will be the HE but they should both have the same length cartridge case so that they sit in the same place in the breech.
The narrower pointy end of the HE will sit further forward than the short AP but the driving bands that actually engage the rifling are down next to the case on both shells so effectively there is no difference between them once loaded
Thanks Neil, nice of you to say .Loving that tarp , John!
Hi Si, thanks , and you won't regret buying the VMS paper shaper either.Afternoon Mr R,
Lovely work on the ammunition boxes and shells and I’m impressed with the tarp. I went and got myself the VMS stuff just now to have a go myself.
John. Looking great! Very detailed as always a job well done
