Nice start Anthony! Keep the momentum up

G; The Pz III Ausf G is looking good, nice camo and scratch storage racks. The gray realy has a green tint , like my Blitz is a lot more brown than yellow. One of theses days I might figure out lighting and be able to take pictures that show the correct color as seen by the eye.

Tony; Glad to see you started on the 232. The supension looks like it was a fun job. Nice progress. That is another vehicle I want to do someday.

Ralph

Hi Guys,
Some great looking stuff here, keep up the good work
My Tiger is on hold for the time being while I await the arrival of some new goodies

G: Panzer is looking good.

Anthony: Very nice. Look forward to seeing more.

Hopefully I can get the PE cage on my 222 tonight.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Aloha All,

I got the grenade screen bent up on the 222 and now it's ready for paint.



Happy Modelling, -zon

Nice job on the 222 Zon, were those the screens provided in the kit?

Hi ed,

Beautiful work on the destroyrd vehicle.

Al

Looking good Zon

Jeremy: Thanks. Yes, PE for the screens and the engine grill are included in the kit.

Anthony: Thank you.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Ready for some paint now !! Major assembly done,this kit has lots of small antenna's,guns and stowage which I will leave off until later.I will lay down the panzer gray 1st and then the Afrika Corps brown showing wear with some gray showing thru.Right now it still looks like something from outer space

Anthony: Looks great!! Looking forward to seeing paint on it.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Zon: Awesome, wish they did that with the old 1/35 kit I had.

Anthony: Looking good, now where did i put my Alien kit....

Hi Guys, checking in here Zon and Anthony your stuff is looking great
I got my Tamiya Tent Set in the mail today and started cutting and glueing as soon as I got is out of the box. It's all primed and will be ready for paint hopefully tomorrow. The Tiger will be rolling up on the radio operator looking for fuel, at least thats what I have in mind right now

Jeremy: I have a 1/35th dragon kit of another vehicle (can't remember the name of it just now), that has the same turret / grenade screen. Dragon pre-folds the cage for you on that kit. I'll try to remember it for ya.

Sal: thanks for the comments. Looking forward to seeing paint on your Tiger.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Hi Al!
Thank you mate!

Wayne, I am planning a similar uotfit, how do you fix the stowage rails to the tank? are you scratchbuilding some bolts?
Thank you
ciao
edo

Sal: Ouch man, that radio operator is going to be in some serious pain when that Tiger rolls up on him!

Zon: Thanks

Edo,

I just used some styrene angle stock and some strip. The real thing would have been hastily welded together, so that's what I did. With glue

G

Jeremy: the kit I was thinking about with the pre-formed grenade screens is this one:

1/35 DML6294 Aufklarungs Pz.Kpfw.38(t) mit 2cm Kw.k.38- Smart Kit

http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcart/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=DML6294

It's been burying in my stash so long now that I might have to dig it out and give it a go!!

Happy Modelling, -zon

Aha, I wondered about that. I'll have to pick one of those up sometime. Thanks Zon!

No problem Jeremy!

Lots of work and a touch of the flu has slowed this down. Here's where I'm at now.









Details painted, enamel protected by Future, oil washes and drybrushing. Heading down the home stretch now.

G

G: looks good!!

Happy Modelling, -zon

Dang G, nothing seems to slow you down! Nice progress, how did you get the decals to lay down so smoothly on the sides of the turret?

G;

Coming right along, decals look good, nice job on ther turret sides, those kit decals were rather thick as I remember. Nice detail painting. One thing, you might want to check is the divisonal mark for the 3rd Pz, upside down Y with two marks?

Ralph

Thank You Gentlemen.

Jeremy, copious amounts of Micro Sol, prodding, pushing, and foul language yielded the results seen on the turret. After a day or so I touched them up with red and white paint.

Ralph, "thick" is a very politically correct term in describing these, ahem, decals. I'm glad they they were though, as I would never have been able to get the results I did. They withstood a lot of abuse that would render "normal" decals useless. I think I buggered the unit markings up. These were probably not meant for this tank. Oh well, I'll modify them or remove them as needed after a bit of research.
