Here is my finished entry for the campaign. The 1/76 Matchbox Sd.Kfz. 232 in markings from the Polish campaign.

Comments welcome

Jesper - Nice work, looks great. Thanks for sharing and your contribution to the campaign.

Thanks, Kevin. It is a joy to participate and take a trip down memory lane with these old kits.

Looking forward to follow all the great builds in this campaign.

Very good job Jesper. You inspired me to get one of these 232s.

Bonjour,

Here is my progress on the Puma. The next step will be to paint it along a few other German vehicles.



Thank you for looking.

Salutations du Canada,

Well I`ll call this one done.

First time depicting snow and mud, it turned out okay(baking soda, PVA and scatter) as well as the mud(scatter, pva and brown paint)

White wash also practiced

Anyway, enjoyed it partly because it was easy, but also because it allowed me to practice, being only my third model since returning to hobby!

Hope you like it.

Andy & Andy - Great looking builds. Thanks for the contributions.

Hello,

My contribution to the campaign:





I just finished the build part, and will be posting progress pics in a while.

Cheers

Hello,

Pics following the completed build phase:







All the while I thought all the Matchbox-branded boxes came from England. This one I assume was made in China -- the quality is different (i.e. plastic seem softer) from how I recall the old Matchbox kits. Anyways off to paint prep work.

Cheers

Hello,

I just thought the base of the bridge needed a bit of roughing up.



Cheers

Tat - Looking good, great progress.

Thanks Kevin. Moving on to primier mode... Cheers

Oh crap! I haven't even started yet, been struggeling with Military Railroad campaign and failed.... with my luck, this will be failure nro.2. No time to start before christmas..

You have till the end of February, lots of time.

Ah cool, February is good news for me to. I've had a real builder's block this year, I've hardly lifted a sprue cutter all year. I did make a start on the Panzer II recently, I took some 'before' shots so if it looks like I'm going to stick with it I'll post some retrospective photos.

Cheers,
John

Hey guys. Great builds going on here. Big fan of Braille scale and Matchbox models. Enlisted onto the Group build here at the 11th hour, but will definitely finish by the deadline. Plan on doing the M-19 Tank Transporter. Will post starting pics(date stamp & unstarted model) soon.
Glad to be onboard. Thanks, Bill.

here we go MATCHBOX all the way . Thought I would do the first Matchbox armor kit that I built as a kid some 38 years ago.

As promised...start pics and some WIP photos. Interior of truck's cabin lacks detail...added foot pedals, gear shift, hand brake, etc. Dial guages added to dash. Bill



Drive train/chassis needs detailing...exhaust,bracing,etc.
Thanks for viewing. Any comments? Bill

Bill - Nice looking start. Looking forward to seeing this one.

Ok lets try again.

Work has progressed at a fast pace . Had lost of fun first time around second just as much fun.

Thanks Kevin, it's appreciated. Some more work done. Added
exhausts, steering frame, and end boagie details. Detailed out the winch. Exterior details to cab...locker handle and fuel caps. Painting started. Pics................




Thanks for viewing. Comments welcomed. Bill
Ps:Minor conversion to figure, due to added cab detail.

William, those are some nifty updates there. The figure looks great too!

Here's where I'm at. Started painting the base and got the figgies ready for painting.



Cheers!
Stefan
