Hello Phil, your weathering and 'detail' work just gets better and better. Well done mate.

Pity about the weather, no 'patio time' as yet.

With the lack of decent TV over the holiday I have caught up on WW11 documentaries.....passes the time. The Soviet Blockade has been showing....lots of T34s.

I will try to attend the open day this year, perhaps we can meet up again.

Enjoy 2012 ...all the best...Mick.

Ho Phil.

Did you make the ice cleats or did they come with the kit? Never have too many hammers.

Hi Nick
It was you that started me off with the Panzer 111's and your great looking tools and box's
I havent had a go at making the aged wooden box's yet though like yours.
I had already seen the Log Saw in use in my dvd "Defiant" based on a true story set in
Belorussia,I had seen the other style hammer on there so I watched it again while having my dinner,
just to see the hammer :lol:
Cheers
Phil

Hi John
I made the Ice Cleats.
In the books I have I found about 4 different versions and some with 6 and some with 7 teeth and
almost square teeth to more pointed.
Some may have been to suit earlyier T34 Tracks.
So I chose the style that would fit the Track,which was on a photo of a T34-85.

Cheers
Phil
