Keith,About Sir Robin....I think He was prone to "run awayyyyy,run awayyyyy" Jeff T.

Hey Guys,What does everybodies build schedule look like for this campaign? Excluding Keith of course who is wandering around in the middle of the Knight Jeff T.

Thanks Keith!

Jeff, you crack me up!

Speaking of schedules--I got a little more work done. Did some surgery on the mare's ears. (I call it a mare because its either female or the poor horse had an unfortunate accident while jumping over a fence!) The Dremel did me a favor by not only carving out all that ear wax, but also filled in the holes.



This is a horse of a different color. Just a base coat. The top coat will be a darker brown. Not too much added sanding is needed since most of the seems will be covered by armor. Is it me, or does it look like a piggy bank with that slot in its back?



Keith

Man, it's been quiet around here, like a ghost town. I'll stop in to visit and see nothing but tumbleweeds blowing by.

Got the rest of the armor sprayed:


And something I haven't tried since I was a kid-- two-toning with rattle can spray paint. It didn't come out too poorly. Nothing a little airbrushing can't blend:


Keith

Keith,the armor looks good,I used to do fade jobs like that with a rattle can on My car models when I was a little shaver,and I'm glad you didn't get lost in the Knight Sorry,I had to do it
I agree this campaign has been quiet.I've kinda been waiting to see if any one else was going to start.There are 31 people signed up.I know Jeff S. has a lot going on,but I don't have a clue as to where everybody else is.Jeff T.

I'll tell you where I'm at and things are looking up just after 3 grueling treatments as the Doc said yesterday, I am right where I need to be so that is good news to me. I needed some good news.

With that outlook I think I want to drag down my Chieftain kit since Jeff T is building a Centurion.

Just a simple build no special paint either.

Jeff S...Yaaaaaaa Buddy,that's GREAT news I'm glad you're doing well.And now we are three.Looks like I will have to clean off My bench and get to work Jeff T.

Jeff,
Great news!

I will be doing a 1/24 Spitfire with a RB Productions Sutton QK harness.

Just have to finish up a couple of builds I got behind on.

Cheers Rob.

Hi guys, finally got some time to throw a rattle can at the Gimpy and added some aliminium paint to it. It's nowhere near finished yet but my company insists that I work stupid hours at the moment and the family insist on the rest of the time I'm not sleeping so modelling is taking a bit of a hit.

Here's some fresh pics.






Showing the ammo feed pawls just under the top cover:



And in me hand for an idea of size, now bear in mind I have big paws! 1/48 is difficult never mind 1/72.



Needs a lot more work yet though.

Now we're picking up steam!
Murdo,your MG looks Bad A*#
So here's what I'll be building

Will most likely spend some of the day sorting sprues and checking parts.Jeff T.

Wow Jeff T. Never saw this kit This is going to be sweeet!

Phil.

Ah Jeff! What a beauty!

I have two of these Centurions. One in the stash that I'm saving for a rainy day and another that someone gave me because he'd lost most of it including the barrel.

Are you going to do a cutaway showing the interior?

Go on, you know you want to!!!

Oh Phil, Phil, Phil.

Now I feel so much older because I built this as a teenager... back in the '70s.










~ Jeff

Phil...The box does say 1973

Murdo...I'm going to have a hard enough time just building this thing,never mind cutting it up I'll see how it goes,but at this point I don't think the chainsaw will be seeing any action on this kit

Jeff S....You got to remember Phil's from Canada.Not there's anything wrong with that

The bench is being cleared and things should be getting under way shortly.Jeff T.

O.K. All set up and ready to go It took me an hour to go through the sprues,and I had to add a temporary extention to the bench so I would have enough room to work

Got a very little bit done,pics soon.Jeff T.

That'll teach ya to go small at first!

Always go big!










~ Jeff

Sorry `bout that Jeff! On the bright side Jeff you got way more experience than me. Darn! 1973 6 years before I was even born... Anyhoo, keep up the good work guys. This rocks.
Phil.

Jeff S.... I don't know about ALWAYS going big.Steve Martin made a lot of money "Getting Small"

Phil...Don't sell yourself short Man,I just checked out your T-72 build,and I have to say,it's pretty sweet.

So here's where I am.Doesn't look like much,but I'm spending a lot of time cleaning and filling.


So,I have two questions.

1.The instructions call for most of the interior to be light grey.Am I correct in thinking that it would be semi-gloss?Could I use Vallejo's or Tamiya's light grey primer and be close?

2.I really haven't figured out what color scheme I"m going to use on the outside yet.The instructions show 6 options.I'm all set with the dark yellow and camo choices,but if I deside to "go green" and save the planet,what green should I use? Jeff T.

Jeff,
Just remember when getting small not to go in a vacuum cleaner.

Cheers Rob.

I'm thinkin that would be going REALLY big Jeff T.

Thread's been quite this week.I have been toiling away at trimming,filling and sanding parts.
Got all the subs put together and primed.Gunners and Commanders seat painted.Did some dry fitting of the turret and am getting ready to put the barrel together.


More work in the morning.Model on,Jeff T.

Moving along at a snails pace,every part I touch needs to be sanded and/or fillied. Should have some pics tomorrow.

Keith... Are you still horsing around,or have you riden off into the knight? Jeff T.

Keep 'em all interested Jeff T.!

Looking good!










~ Jeff

I'm trying Man,I'm trying Jeff T.
