 Cool indeed, I hope there's some left by the time I get there.

 Ripley, I had some similar aggro to you, but at the other end of the casting process - I assume that I simply didn't put enough catalyst in (or it was an old batch of PU resin) - the upshot being that I had a large, complex mold full of viscous, stinking goop that also took hours to clean out. There's also the time I re-decorated the spare room giving some paint a vigourous shake - having managed to leave the top off the dropper bottle...

 Excellent stuff, looking forward to the 11CV & Waffentrager a lot.

 Excellent stuff, it's good to see the older models getting entirely logical 'upgrades' as bits from other vehicles based on the same chassis appear. Very pleased to see the more detailed tracks & the multiple exhaust types (wish I'd had the larger Flammvernichter to hand for a bunch of recent projects) plus the new barrel is a significant improvement, (I'd also thought 'Cuckoo' would be a fun modelloing project).

 Yes, the hollow wheels on the Italeri kit were a bit odd, but easily filled (nice job UVS), though always thought the kit was basically ok (the tracking arms/suspension caught me out a bit on the first one I made, but the second went together smoothly).
 The 222 looks great, really looking forward to it & that they trundled on through pretty much the entire war makes them a very useful kit.

 I can also confirm that, with fairly minimal fettling, the Rubicon turret can be made to fit the WG Puma.

 They look great, but please could we have some bespoke passengers for your 251 kits, none that I've tried (Perry, WG etc) are wholly satisfactory

 Nice looking kit, like UVS I wasn't sure if I had a use for one,  but if it's possible to build Buffalo II/IV's for my Brits for the Scheldt & Rhine crossing (which I assume, given the Polsten mounts shown earlier) that'll change.

 Lovely clean paintwork, excellent stuff (weathering's very much a matter of taste - as demonstrated by the variety of opinion on the forum)

  Great thread, sharing the collective wisdom of many years of kitbashing will make for a wonderfully useful resource

 (Apologies, came back to this today & discovered I'd put it in the wrong place before - I'll put it down to a surfeit of Christmas cheer!)

 Ok, it's a little niche - but it's a niche I certainly game in (late & 'weird' WWII). If indeed it woiuld only require the creation of a few bespoke components I'd love to see one (along with an ARV & the slightly bizarre 280mm mortar carrier version).

 Beautiful job, I particularly like how you did the tracks on the burned out Panther
