[Steve Ski]

Here's the last few pics before I post the BMW. I know there's a few figure guys here and your comments are appreciated.

After the shoulder straps were remove and milliput added in the appropriate locations I made the new straps for the M36 bag from lead and sheet pewter. The buckles were made from copper wire smashed in a cable splicer and bent and filed. I can see I need a small vise mue pronto. I also hollowed out the collar to avoid having to line up the strap pieces under the collar, much easier and not much work involved. This was very time consuming, but well worth the extra effort.

I'm hoping to have this dio completed for the IPMS Seattle in April, but I'm not going to rush it. If I make it in time, far out, if now, oh well.

Thx for watching, Ski.
