Chas I am using the flash, I will try some photos without to see how it looks. That is fuel spill on the area that you mentioned.

BOB

Come on Bob Card!!

Damn I give up, all I can get is the red X.
Used to be simple, just hit the copy button and paste, I tried 4 different ways and still couldn't get it, must be getting too old.
Bob

Here you go Bob:





All you need to do is click on the small square which says 'more', underneath the linked thumbnail code. You then just copy and paste the new code which pops up once 'more' is clicked.

Man I was coping the wrong thing, live and learn, Thanks Chas

I first want to just say Wow, really nice projects people are posting. Hope I get the time to finish this one off.

This is the main view due to the relationship to the picture, the rest are just detail views and I won't repeat the ones Chas brought up.




I had some draw backs and some thing that ate up a lot of my time. Nothing lately so I'm back at it.
Still have to finish off a lot of details, make some adjustments that I seen from the photos and add 7 Marines on the LVT as per the photo. Much too do.

Really like that diorama Tomek Anioła! Excellent work.

Now that Chas has showed me how to post photos again maybe next time I'll actually get it right.
Thanks for looking,
Bob

Bob Card that is a good looking LVT you have going there, I know it will look great when you have finished.

BOB

Great job on that beast of a kit, Bob! It looks very good. Were the decals part of the kit? Did the decal instructions/description say anything about what unit the tank was from, time period, geographical location etc.?

Andreas, great looking Sherman. I really like the dusty look of it. I can see it rumbling across a dusty bombed out pacific island trying to flush out the enemy from bunkers.

Thank you for opinions. I'm very happy you like my diorama.

Brett, I like the way you painted your Chi-Ha. The commander figure looks great.

Andreas your Sherman looks very nice. Could you add more close up pictures of your tank?

Robert , you can add some dust and dirt to your tank . In my opinion it will improve your model.

Bob your LVT looks very promising.

Tomek,

I am very impressed by the way your diorama turned out, especially the palm log bunker and vegetation on top. I would be careful when adding commercial static grass which includes the red fibres, these tend to look like pieces of copper wire and not very natural. Apart from that, I love it!

If you make a few more Far East dioramas like this and I'm sure you could become a prolific ambassador for the APFEMoG! (Advancement of the Pacific and Far East Modelling Genre).

Chas

Bob Card,

I am looking forward to, and hoping to see the completion of your diorama. Good job so far.

Chas

Thanks everyone,
This is actually about 3 kits combined with some scratch building and PE thrown in.
It is basically going to be a reproduction of this photo

Taken on Peleliu within 50 yards of the beach. The LVT 2 to the left was knocked out and this LVT (A) 1 moved forward to offer protection and help the wounded from the LVT 2. The name "The Bloody Trail" is supposed to reflect the island hopping campaign to Japan. And that’s about all I can find out about the photo. The transfers are from Hard Corps Models and are specific to this particular LVT (A) 1. They have some really great transfer sheets for the PTO.
Weathering, by the time I’m finished you will just barely see anything but the name and the B7. But I have to finish the other items I mentioned because I normally weather everything together.

I missed Calcutta, nice job Andy, was the shot clock part of the decals? Great job witht he weathering also.

Thanks for your time,
Bob

Thank you Chas.
I must think about this static grass. Maybe next time I will try something different.

I’m planning to build a diorama witch LVT(A)4, but first I must finish my dio with Polish Tankers and Humber Scout Car in Holland.

Tomek,
I am am traveling this week and will try and add some more pictures this weekend.

Tanks
Andy

Hey everyone-
Finally back from the dead! I have finished most of my dio. I need to work at the infantry now. The tank is finished and so is the ground work. I will post pics in a couple days.

Bob! Nice to hear from you again. And might I say you have returned with a bang!

-Mike

I added mud and flat finish to the weathering so now I can say that I am finished.







So here is my Type 79 Ko-Gata a little tank that gave me much problems.

ROBERT

Looks great, Robert. A nice little kit.

Looks good as it is, but a dark wash for the mud might bring out the structure more.

Thanks for sharing

Looks great. I agree with jesper though. I think it needs a wash.

On another note: This is very last last last minute but can anyone tell me how to do the ribbon? hhahaha im really sorry but i spaced on it! i am a horrible leader!

-Mike

I guess the photo does not show but it has an oil wash. I used raw umber, raw sienna, and gray dots that were washed with turpentine.

ROBERT.

Hello Guys,

The deadline is coming in one week. My Alligator is still not finished but the hardest finishing touch (application of the Italeri vynyl track) is completed.
Some minor steps are still to come (add the antenna, paint the headlights, and add some wet mud).
Unfortunately the diorama base will not be completed, but the single LVT would be enough for this campaign...
By the way: do we know whart ribbon is proposed for this GB?

... almost finished.
Tamiya's Type 97 Chi-Ha from Malay campaign
Detailed with some scratch-building. I also used a set of Friul model metal tracks.

That is a beautiful job done there Nick, weathering is superb. Keep us updated on your progress and give us more photographs!

Can we expect to see a commander figure?


Chas

Oops, I have just seen the new pictures added Nick. They are fantastic.

Thanks!

Chas

Thanks a lot Chas. As I said I have ALMOST finished. I am preparing two figures for the crew.
There are plans also for a diorama but I think that this will be out of time for the campaign.
Later I will ypdate with some more new pics.
