BUMP TIME.

HOW IS EVERYONE DOING ON THEIR BUILDS IT MUST BE VACATION TIME.


BOB

Ok! everyone, there are 21 days left to complete and post a pic. of your entry. How are you doing my T34 will be finished this week.

Bob

hope all is well just wondered why Iraq and Israel weren't in the country's for this campaign I was doing a BMP-1 form afgan army but it is a horrible kit and wondered if I could enter a Merkava from Isreal?

David here is the link to the campaign page with the rules stated as by Jeff who started the campaign. Hope that this helps.

So if it depicts an afv of the Afghan army then it will be admitted, just post a pic of where you are in the build.

Bob

I had better get on the ball, only (15) days to go I still need to (1)paint the details, (2)filter, (3)weather, and (4)apply a falt coat. See you at the finish line



Bob

Hi
Just adding the finishing touches to the base.
Painted up some fern's & converted some old fishtank accessories into another plant just waiting on the paint to dry before adding them. Will be finished some time this week ( lol )

Hello Shaun,
Nice to see that I am not the only one under the gun Now to accomplish that stinky part (oil paint) which get chased out of the house

Bob

I'm sorry, guys, but I'm bailing out....

I hit a serious modelling-low in the last 7 weeks or so... Haven't touched a model, magazine or book. Even visiting a modelshow with running 1:1 scale vehicles didn't spark anything....
I will certainly not finish this one in time....

Sorry to hear that Ron, but we will look for you in the future.

All the best.
Bob

OK! Just (6) days to go, how is everyone coming along on their builds . The weathering is giving me a problem, it seems that the offensive odor of the oil paint has caused an uproar of the masses here. I have to either wait until all here is away or find another location to accomplish the weathering . There is a real probability of a lynch mob threatening my health . I hope that under the present conditions I will be able to complete my build .

Bob

Well, I finished my Type 90 on the weekend, took pics on Monday and was getting ready to post them...

That's when I realized the Commander's 50 cal had not been installed....

Should have new pics taken this evening, and hope to post shortly thereafter.

Grant, it will be nice to see the photos of your build.

Bob

Bob, consider it done. First, without the 0.50 calibre turret MG.







Unfortunately, the flash tends to "wash out" the very minimal weathering I have done. Most pics I have seen of the Type 90 show the tank pretty clean (at least, for a tank!)

Once the MG was installed, here's how she looks...










All in all, a sweet kit. Only things I added were metal photoetch mesh for the turret rack, the antenna, and replaced the Tamiya kit pieces with MV lenses for the headlights.

If I weren't so slow, I really would have liked to tackle the Type 74 I have as well. There's always next time!

Grant

Nice job Grant, I like the camo.
That makes two that have posted a photo of their finished entry in the gallery.

mutley: PT 76 (Vietnam)
