Hi Matthew

Congratulations on that one - looks great Did you mask the places where paint is worn of or did you paint on the areas afterwards?

Thanks for the kudos, the worn areas were painted on afterwards usig Vallejo Acrylics, and oils. Thanks again. "Q"

Hi All
Started mine today Dragons Panzer 1B D.A.K
its going to be OOB apart from the idler wheels which are Lionmarc replacements
The tracks are a pain in the a**e,compared to the Tristar PZ 1 ,
5, yes FIVE , attachment points per link,216 links thats,mmmm ,1080 cuts to make
One side down , one to go

I'll think I'll have a lay down now,or build the turret,NO more track links today

Andy

I feel your pain. Looks good thus far. Need to get cracking on my old school Tamiya Matilda. Goodluck with the rest of your build. "Q"

Looks good, Andy. I think you have just the right amount of sag on the track.

Looking forward to see more

Here is a small update on my Tiger I. It is now assempled and waiting some touch up of the desert paint before painting the details and start weathering.

Hi

Here is my finished entry for the desert campaign. It is the 1/35 Zvezda/Italeri Tiger I early version. It is from Schweres Panzer Abteilung 501 in Tunesia in the Winter 1942/43.

Comments are welcome

Great fun to participate

OK, late start here. I finally decided on the DML PzkfwIV F1.
Photos posted in the campaign folder. Nothing much done yet. Working on the hull and suspension. Gad.....roadwheels, nothing but roadwheels...... gotta love 'em........

Im a late starter as well.. Jumped on board yesterday with
Dragons Pz.kpfw.1 Ausf A Smart kit... Got an hour or so into it today.
Will post some progress shots tomorrow...

I added some of my Panzer IV pics to the KitMaker website,
I am using the Academy Panzer IV kit, with all my own
scratchbuilding parts.

Some of the basic pioneer tooling and accessories I redone myself by using brass/alluminum rod and sheet of copper for the brackets and clasps.

.03 half round styreen was used for the welding seams on the turret, then by using a #11 hobby knife to break the rod and simulate beads, Then a lot of Tamiya Fine Iiquid glue to make a smooth welding look.

Gunzo "Mr Surface 500" dabbed on with paint brush to simulate the casting of the steel plates.

Plastic styreen sheet was used to remake the tow hooks up front. I plan an using a neckles chain for tow chains on the front hooks and hook pins.









Now it's off to the paint shop....

Looks good, Thomas. Looking forward to see it with some paint on it

Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see a long barrel mkIV Thomas,keep them pics coming
Andy

Thanks Guys for the encouraging words....

NOW, I need alittle help

This pic is my Inspiration for this build:



I Found the pic on the net and don't remember where I got it....
or if it is from a review of a book, model, etc.....

I like the Paint, Markings and Weathering of this drawing
My questions are....

1) I need the 15th Panzer markings for the front of the Tank
as well as any that maybe on the rear of the Tank,

2) Is Tamiya XF-60 the best color for this scheme or does anyone have a better reference color?

3) Any other information is always welcome....

As far as I recall these markings are on one of the Tamiya decal sheets for German WWII armour. However, I am not entirely sure as I do not have my decals right now, so my memory could be wrong.

Hi All

The chev didn't work out as I had hoped, so I have built up a Humber Mk1 Armd. car, it is a resin kit in 1/35th scale.

Pics posted in the gallery.

Cheers

Great one, Brent. You have included a lot of nice details into what must be a very small vehicle if you are using it for wargaming.

I just uploaded pix of my Academy IDF Shmira mutt to the photo album. I built it in a little under 2 weeks. Tamiya Desert Yellow overall, weathered using Tamiya Weathermaster sets. Using a combo of Academy and the Shmira conversion kit.

Thanks!
Chad

heres a pic....

Looks good, Chad. It has a very nice dusty feel over it.

Thanks for sharing
