Martin OostromWelcome to my prison!
Yes Lode. After my wife, I also tested positive. Irony is, I only left the house for some solo cycling, visits to my parents and the necessary shopping, since March. It seems I have the mild version, I'd describe it as a flue+.

Lode SchildermansStrenght, mate and I wish you a fast recovery.
If I am concluding well, your wife tested positive, you teste positive and you are in prison. Most men would have said marriage 😉 Just kidding. Keep it up, my Dutch friend

Martin OostromAll that can be done is done. Back into the box, until it can be painted.

Martin OostromOkay, I spoke with Lode yesterday and asked him which colours he used for his Tiger: Tiger I -late version | Album by Lode (1:35)
Mine will be inspired by his scheme, a perfect match isn't in the works.
For the first time I primed with Tamiya rattlecans. Not perfect, but that's me.

Lode SchildermansMartin, nice to see you're back on 'track' I'm glad I could help you with the RAL Colors for your Tiger I. With pleasure, but the biggest pleasure was to see you in person 🙂

Martin OostromAs I didn't have a the right reddish brown and yellow, I went with the 'This seems close enough' approach. Am I glad that I said 'inspired' instead of 'identical' 😄

SpanjaardYou know, the scale changes the color, and the lighting of the pictures, and the different paint batches, and ... of course, you can take any kind of artistic license you want 😄 😄 as long as you like it, it is your tank, right? nice to see it in the bench 🙂

Alec KWhoa! Not sure how I missed Martin' COVID debacle. Hope you recovered fully. Build looks great 👍

Martin OostromWelcome back people. Alec, I haven't been really sick, but my stamina is completely gone. Riding a bike at a normal pace for an hour is all I got at the moment. But I'm still here!
