Pete's Place

Looking at your German sheet, Gazza, it may be an older one but the decals look about the same. The ones I got recently also have some German Balkenkruez emblems and some red/white/black tricolor flags as well. The layout on yours is definitely different.

Pete,

Keeping Mike's strait is always a challenge.. As for me, I am easy going and you can call me by my last name or first... also answer to just about anything.. LOL... Had a guy in highs school that use to call me by someone else's name and it because a running joke till I graduated.

On the subject of the aerial markings, I think I lost something in your explanation. Do you apply the decals directly to the tank or do you mount it to some paper or other type of backing? I think Gazza said that I-94 was thicker so you did not have to mount them on a foil first.

I love how the PZIII aerial markings came out. They look great. Can't wait to see your work in person and meeting the master behind the brush.

I think its great that the site is seeing a little bit of a resurgence and people are posing more work.

Excellent work Pete, stunning panzers!

Hi Hoth! I will try to keep everything straight and look forward to seeing you and the other Mike at Sand Wars. I will bring some extra stuff for show and tell.

I applied the flags straight off the decal sheet with no paper or foil backing. The material is a bit heavier. I just try not too hit it with TOO much Micro Sol as I don't want it to conform too perfectly to the contours of the tank. I also cut the flag carefully off the sheet trying to get the cut as close as I can.

Thank you very much, Burt! I appreciate it.

Hi Gazza! Thanks for the clarification on the decal sheet. I now have 24 of the size I think I need the most which should be most of what I need for a while.

Here is another ship that I painted for the GHQ catalog. This is HMS Southampton a British light cruiser that was lost in 1941.

Hey Pete, what colors did you use for this ship, brand and names?

R, Jim

Pete,

I think I have your process down now. I think I am going to give it a shot in the near future. Agreed that it will be great to meet in person. If you are bring a few extra pieces for show and tell, maybe I will bring a few.

Hi Hoth

That would be great! It is always neat to see what other people have done.

[Hoth_902]

Pete, this means that the other Mike needs to bring some stuff.

[pmskaar]

Yeah, he does! Did you here that Redleg? LOL!

[redleg]

I can't put my micro armor on the same table as Pete! It's going to look like I color my tanks with crayons compared to his stuff!

I guess I can squeeze a few bunker boxes into my carry-on though. I will deploy the JTFP Forward Command Post, plus a few vehicles that don't look so bad! LOL This is going to be fun!

[Hoth_902]

I think Pete is meaning for show and tell... a couple of bunker boxes might be over kill....lol

[pmskaar]

Just bring whatever you want. No pressure from me at all. We will have fun.

Nice work with these flag decals, Pete. They really enhance your beautiful work on these Pz III Ls.

Thank you very much, Foxbat! I really appreciate it.
