I'm a Toys-R-Us kid with white hair.

OH! So do I as I just turned 53!

Thanks for the FYI Chris... just in time too!

As this campaign starts for me in 50 minutes here is what i will be tackling and I am going to try and get it done in a month.




While I am at it this is another work in progress and I would like to know what you think of the anti slip coating?

@Jeff

I don't mind about , that's ok!
No problem, these threads are a stress relief too .. no matter your age.

Darren I hope that Czech and Chinese partnership turn into a great LAV !
I like that anti slip coating, I'm no expert on anti slip coats or LAV's, don't know if it's too thick or thin, but it looks good. How did you do it ?

It is PVA glue and chinchilla dust sprinkled on.

Well I just gathered up everything for the build once the kick off time starts…………just itching to build.



Here is my ultimate goal I’m hoping to achieve, a VAB sanitaire generation II

Christopher what is the interior like on that as the windows look quite large allowing you to look in?

Darren the interior is really nice and a better improvement over the parts in the Heller kit. Even though I plan the rebuild a large part of the rear interior since the medical version is different.

Yeah I have been thinking about that I figure I will coat the whole vehicle in the green 1st then add the brown spots, then give a good cleaning to the AB and trim it all with the dunkelgelb
Well that's the plan anyway but we will see the kit wont be started until my 2nd road trip this summer which starts on August 11

My 2 choices... I think I'm gonna go crazy and build both, side by side.
( along with the Emil and the 2 Panthers that are staring at me, they seem quite angry, specially the F since it's missing it's tracks and a wash to be over )

Hello Gentlemen,

Here is My Puma ready and good to go. I must admit, im pretty anxious about the undercarriage and the intructions are so busy it all starts to blur and blend to where its hard for me to discern. Wish me luck!



Here we go!!!

Gary

Great choice Gary !

I bet it's going to be another masterpiece..

Thanks John. Good luck to you bro. That 223 kit looks sweet!!!

Gary

Gary nice choice, the suspension are not that bad to build. I've built one of their pakwagens awhile back and had no problems at all.

John good luck with your bmp-3, skit kits are not exactly known for quality. But anything bmp related has my attention.

Hi everyone,

Here is my entry to the campaign.





I'm hoping to improve on all my basic techniques (construction, painting and weathering) and learn some new ones such as maybe building a base for it to sit on.

Good luck and fun times everyone.

Welcome Frazer ! Good luck too !

Guys the most important thing about this Campaign is having fun

Gary, seeing the sprues & level of detailing this HobbyBoss kit has the same level as the 221 from Bronco !
I'm looking forward to get it on the bench.
But I have to work on the Panthers otherwise I'll get on a plastic black hole and won't finish either of them...
Patience & discipline I need .

Don't worry about that suspension, I did 2 234's from Dragon, they look harder on the instruction sheet..

Thanks Christopher !
I wanted to pick a Trumpeter's but at the time I got this bargain from my LHS. I did one Skif kit in the past, a T-64, it wasn't perfect but better than a Eastern Express kit.
Let's see how this one goes..

Here is what I am building for the Campaign.

Cheers Rob.

You're a brave man with all that PE.

Are you using it all?







~ Jeff

Well I said I was in a hurry so here is the first update from me and covers stages 1 through 5. The wheels are not attached as yet just pushed home. It is not as much as it may look as there is no photo etched parts needed in these stages.

I'm not sure when i will get started.
Half you guys will be done probably when i do.

You and I can start and finish, picking up the rear of the column. But that's okay... let 'em be first!








~ Jeff

Well quick change of plan guys, I’m actually going to start building a BTR-50 first. Don’t worry, I still plan to build the VAB at a later date. I’ve got too many project on the desk to build, so I wanted something fun and quick to build.





Darren- get start buddy, what a speed demon, but then again there's not much to a lav-25

Jeff,
I plan on using all that I can.

Cheers Rob.

HOLY COW ROB!!! Thats alot of PE! That would make me nuts and nervous, OOOPS...i just threw up a little bit! Just kiddin'. Thats gonna be a real challeng there man. Good on ya Rob!

Darren, and Christopher - great start fellas! Im just starting today. Maybe ill have something posted by tomorrow.

Nice Kit Frazer!

Theres my buddy Craig...A man of few words but a picture says 1000 of em!
