Hi guys,
As James has said, at the end, there is Blitzkrieg!
Also Polish soldiers didn't have time on sleep and eat...
Jesper, I thought over diorama, but I can promise nothing
But who knows
James and Joe, shows big progress
Andrzej, I wait for final result, which approaches inevitably:-H

Hi Bruce,
At last! Now situation on front will be modified on our benefit!
Really, your Char B-1 bis looks good, but I have small question - what it scale?
I has not found this information in former posts...I can something leave out...

hello Adam,
it is a 1/35 scale Tamiya that came out last year.the tracks are the easiest part of the build.they just snap together.with the kit,you can cammo 4 different types of tanks.i replaced the antenna with stretched spuce,the kit one was a little ,to me,stub. and i used faded olive green and flat earth or the paint.i think it looks like it was out in the field for awhile.
glad you liked it,my first build of this kit was eaten by my dog,Tiger the Wonder Dog.
god,that dog loves to eat models.
the Panzer 1 is still waiting for the tracks to arrive from Krupp.with the war on they are behind with their deliveries
cheers,
Bruce

Joe....your Somua S-35 is shaping up well, looking forward to more progress.
Bruce....nice finish, camo looks great. Did you hand brush or airbrush? Maybe Tiger the Wonder Dog just wants you to buy him his own models. What's his snacking preference, Axis or Allied?

hello James,
i do it by hand,i have an compresser but no brush yet.Tigger the Wonder Dog,will eat any model,including 2 spuces from a $100.00 ship.he does it at night,while i am sleeping.
i just bought a moble home to put next to my house,that i am coverting into a craftroom/workbench/libary.it is a 20 by 80 foot trailer i hope that will be big enought for a work area.then he will not be able to eat any more models.i hope.
cheers,

Hi everybody,
Bruce, greetings for your dog
I combat with my PZInż.126 - really, there is heavy job!!But I will try make curious model from this.
But I like such challenges
Sole defect is lack of separate tracks, there is only from rubber
Cheers

I finally got the chance to do some catching up.
Primed with Tamiya black spray can.
Home made box on the fender from an old pie tin metal base/case. common field addition to 10th Pz Div / 7th Pz Regt PzIII's
Still lots of work to do as the colour has come out too light for my liking. I will be experimenting at the weekend or next week to get the darker tone right.
Thank for looking. All the other builds seem to be coming on great.

Nice to see all those builds progressing!
Desmond, Your Pz. III looks great. Nice addition of the home made box to the fender. It looks good.
Mayer, looks good with your Somua. Are you going to use the kit tracks, or are you going for AM tracks?

Hello,
Bruce, yes - he has been hit in the head by polish missile, but only surface. So, he lives else.
Second become down for earth by polish machine guns
Andrzej - you are right, this is Master Box kit. 'German panzergrenadiers (1939-1942)' in 1/35.
Weather behind window such beautiful, it aren't wanted to sleep
My PZInż. 126 emerges in pains
I must make rivets independently...

Looks good with the figures, Adam. You should definitely make a diorama - it would look fantastic.
Joe, good start on the camouflage for the Samoa. It looks like the exhaust system is missing, but I guess it is because you will add that after basic painting?

Hey guys, does this campaign end August 1 or October 1? Both of these dates are listed as the end date on the Blitzkrieg campaign. If it is Oct. 1 then I will sign up.
