Amazing difference The first table was sufficient as a model until it was redone. Side by side there is no comparisson Terry

I believe N0. 22 was a double issue. Storm Over The Yangtse - Winter 2008 and Special Warbird Supplement - Christmas '08 Terry

Hi Carlo I have #5, #11 and #19. You can have them for free. Send me a PM with your address Terry

And Toronto just set a snowfall record for February 27. It didn't seem so bad at first. But the snow kept getting more intense as time went on. Visibility became near zero and avoided hitting a truck that changed lanes right in front of me. Terry

In near freezing water like that a person would be exhausted and unconscious in less than 15 minutes and significantly disabled after just 5 minutes. Terry

What an idiot. Toronto had a brief thaw 2 weeks ago. Maybe he is trying to cross the border. {eek3} https://www.facebook.com/blogto/videos/304347466947691/?v=304347466947691 Terry

Just notified that the first Stug is shipped and should be here ( in my hand) by Thursday Terry

Good idea. Were sending our winter refugees to Washington.

After a bunch of near misses, Winter is definitely here in Toronto. The Saturday forecast of a few flurries missed the mark. Saturday overnight got cold and unexpectedly dumped a ft. of snow.The forecast for Mon - Tue was accurate with temps of -30C and 2ft. - 3 ft. of snow Terry

How about a comm centre with a radio and a motorcycle dispatch rider Terry

It will be good to see a few figures on it. That will give it some size perspective. It isn't big enough for a vehicle, is it? Terry

Hope that air mass is heading to Toronto. I had to go out this morning. The temp was -28C (-9F) which was cold but the high winds gave a windchill of -38C which is brutal. And it felt like -38 Look - I can walk from Toronto Island to downtown Terry

There are 2 sets of tank riders - one for winter and one set for summer. Set of 3 riders and one standing figure.I've never seen the summer set or even a photo of one. Terry

I think there may be 3 sets of tank crew each with one 1/2 figure in the commanders turret hatch and one head and shoulders figure in the only open turret on the front deck. One of the sets is for winter Terry

almost no snow in Toronto but it's going down to -40 with the wind chill Sunday night. Terry

I'm guessing SP067 is large as it is new but unlike AFVs, basic buildings in actual villages vary widely in size - so does it really matter. Terry

Track sag increases slowly over time. Most tracked vehicles have a tension adjustment. Too much sag in the tracks means that in soft ground or making sharp extreme movements the vehicle could throw a track.The tension should limit the track's vertical movement to prevent it from coming off the...

On the previous post, I find it interesting that the photo taken well after the war in a tank collection and the circa 1943 photo both have a similar amount of slack and the exact slack pattern on the treads - an indication of slack progression.

It seems like many Stug III/ Panzer III photos of actual AFVs have tight upper tracks but there is variation. First photo note Stug in background has slightly slack track; 2nd photo track taught; 3rd photo track slack.

It does look like there is a bit too much track sag but I find it hard to see how much given the angle of the photo. I recall First Legion had a slack track problem on their first Panzer III models. Wasn't there a discussion of this on the board? Terry
