Looks great, Scott. Have you decided on a camouflage scheme yet?

Looking forward to see more

hello Scott,
looks good,you did more then i did with mine.i forgot about opening the mud chutes.which tank are you going to do the cammo?
cheers,
Bruce

Thanks guys, just got back from a 4 day trip to the corporate office in Las Vegas, man it was hot!!!!

I am doing my Char B1 bis as "Bourrasque" just like the one on the box (unless I change my mind at the last minute... still debating on ordering the Echelon decal set.). This particular tank was named after the French ship and literally translated means something like "Squall" or "Gust of Wind".

hello all,
got the system back today,and i have been loading all the software back in to it.
it looks like everything is running smoothly,and i see Matt is back with us.i hope all is well with you and yours.
the Panzer 1 is still waiting for the tracks,not much time for modeling the last few weeks.that should change this week,i hope.
cheers,
Bruce

@ Matt - nice to see you here again! Hope everything is fine!

@ Scott - very nice build so far! You've chosen quite an interesting model.

Andrzej

My entry: Italeri 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 232 (6 Rad)

Marcin,

Very fine model.
Did you have any fitting problems with it? My collegue built this one (I think) three or four years ago and he told me that some parts were like from totally different kits.

Andrzej

Thanks Andrzej.

The fit wasn't so bad. Only hatches brought me some problems. As for aerial I can't say definitely was it OK or not because I got mine in 3 pieces (was torn of the sprue probably during transport) and I couldn't get it to correct shape again.

hello Marcin,
great build,loved the weathering.remember to put a photo in the campaign gallery so you can get your ribbon.
cheers,
Bruce

Nice work Marcin! Your 232 looks fantastic!

Thanks guys for kind words.

@Bruce - Picture already uploaded to official gallery but thanks anyway for reminding.

Excellent works friends!!!. Today I will start my Stug III Ausf B - version 2nd. Kompanie, 226 StuGAbt, Poland, June 1941.. I will use the Tamiya kit with Voyager PE.

Regards,
Rodolfo

hello Rodolfo,
the time line cutoff for this campaign is May 1,1941,so i am sorry but the build is 1 month too late for Blitzkrieg campaign.if you are set on doing the model for that time period i think it is ok for the Eastern front campaign.if not you could do the model for any time From Sept.1,1939 to May 1.1941.
cheers,
Bruce

Hello Bruce:

No problem, I can to build the version of 2nd Kompanie, 191st StuGAbt, Greece, April 1941
Thanks for your observation.

m:-) Regards,
Rodolfo

I would like to say that everyone’s builds are looking good.

James I hope my 38(t) comes out as good as yours.

OK, for me I have finally reached a point where I can at least show what I have concerning the crew. They are by no means finished.

Excellent looking figures, Scott. They tie in great with each other and the tank.

Looking forward to see more

Scott,

Your figures are going to be really great! Their poses are fantastic! Keep posting

Andrzej

Scott, this 38(t) looks awesome! Love what you are doing with the figures too!
Keep it up!

hello all,
not much to report from me,i am still recovering from my tree accident.for the past 2-3 weeks i have been clearing trees from my property when a 90 or so foot tree nailed me.a few broke and bent ribs and 2 bent arm bones,the doc's have me on bed rest for a month.
so i have been tryng to get so work done on my models,not much done,but i am tryng.
@Scott,the figures look great and the pz 38(t) is looking good.
@Rodolfo,sounds great,good choice for the time period.make sure you get some in progress photo's up for us.
hope all have had a good weekend and a safe a n fun week ahead.
cheers,
Bruce

Marcin, that's a great build and beautiful finish, real nice work! Bravo!

Scott, ouch! That looks so good it hurts! Those figs are incredible as is the 38(t), excellent, looking forward to seeing this all together.

Bruce, you were supposed to stand on the other side of the tree Hope you're not hurting too bad, rest up and then get back to the bench! If you need anything give me a shout.

@ Bruce
Get well mate! You were lucky that it was not sequoia tree .
Once again: get well.

Andrzej

Djeesss Bruce!!
You should leave them trees alone, y'know. They do get back at you, especially those agressive, branchwaving ones!! They can be leathal! I know, I was assaulted by one too, just for trimming his bottombranches. Man, did he snap back at me!! Just a few scratches and bruses for me though...
Not even the trees are the gentle and lovable trees we once knew, even they have chaged in time. We humans should take care. I feel a treerevolution coming up!!


So much for the nonsence.....

Get well soon, mate!!

@ Ron
It's not a nonsence - what we're dealing with is international tree scheme to destroy the mankind by causing paranoidal behaviour through branch waving and in extreme situations by physical damage (like in Burce's and your case).
Chainsaws for everyone!!

Sorry for that
Andrzej

Hey, leave the chainsaw in the shed! I am a treelover, y'know... But when they attack us, we must defend our selves or we will be in pineneedles and leaves up to our armpits!



But on a serious note, here's an update from me;
The PzKfw 35(t) in its rudimentary colours. I toyed around with an early wat camoscheme. I used Vallejo german grey and camouflage brown. Allways thought that it would be a lot darker. As I said, I did not do anything more than slap on the paint. the rest still has to be done.


As for the French counterparts, I dropped the H35. It just didn't look and feel right. So here's my new setup.
Overall view:


And a more detailed one:

hello all,
thanks for the kind words,i love trees but they are infected with pine beetles and if i do not cut the infected ones out they will kill all of the tree's on my property.and it was not the tree's fault right when it was dropping a wind gust cought it and threw it back into me.
@Ron the Pz 38(t) looks good and the base for the AT Gun looks great.it is going to be a very intrestion dio when you are done.
cheers,
Bruce
