Folks,
I had a tough week, but I’m not going to bore anyone with the details. I’m just going to tell you about our newest release and catch you up on what is still on my bench.
OUTSTANDING ORDERS
As I write this, I have no outstanding orders left in the shop. Sadly, I’m starting to suspect that my ability to keep up with you guys is going to get easier and easier. 🙁
NEW RELEASES
I have the next item from Gunnar Baumer’s modeling desk for you. This week, it is a beautiful, multi-piece stowage set for the rear deck of your M4A3-based Sherman. Watch for that NEW RELEASES post.
ON THE BENCH
I still struggle to find the discipline and motivation necessary to keep moving forward on the German armored car details. So far, I’ve managed to stay interested in this subject. There are also a great deal of partially completed items related to this project piling up on my master bench. I count both of these as a good sign.
KARL VAN SWEDEN
I spoke to Karl just before I posted this UPDATE. Good news! Karl says he should be sending the parts for the MiniArt M3 Lee/Grant as well as a new lower hull, rear hull plate and 3-piece FDA for the Dragon M7 Priest sometime next week! He also told me he has solved the final stumbling block that was holding up the M10 driver’s compartment (the radio). So, it sounds like tank engines revving from up north, where Karl’s troops live.
THE SHOP
Let’s not talk about this disaster right now, OK?
THE OFFICE
See my comment on the shop.
THAT IS ALL
OK, that’s all I have for now. So, until next time, please stay safe and take care of your loved ones. If you can, try to build something (preferably something using TMD resin).
