Jim, I will let you know when the kit gets here.

Bob

I'm just getting back into the hobby, but this campaign looks like a good place to start....I think I'll add an M151A2 with 4.2 mortar trailer to the mix.
I've been wanting to build this particular combination of Jeep and trailer for years. This campaign should provide the incentive and time to finally get it done.

Hello Bob,

really nice Kit. I'm looking forward to your progress.

Regards
Sven

Ok I cleared up some of the paint on the window edge and painted up the 2 figures and seated them inside, so I think its finished for now until I put it in a dio. Let me know what you all think

Darryl - great to have you join up! Looking forward to watching your progress!

Sal - nice recovery on the Window Glass - it looks good!

I got a little time to work this weekend on my project - after celebrating my Birthday - and updated the blog I'm running on my website. Pictures to follow when I get home from work...

Jim, I received the kit in the mail today, but no figure is included. Here are some photos.

Thanks Gun Truck! I'll be getting a late start on my build however...realistically after the first of the year...once my youngest son is moved out and I turn his room into my own model building man cave

here's my work in progress



It's the technical by hobbycraft

Excellent folks,

Tilly porgress so far.



Al

Both the Technical and Tilly look good! I think I'm missing out - better get myself a Tilly too!

Hi Guys,

I would like to enter with MPKs first foray in injection molded kit manufacturing in Braille scale, the
Zugkraftwagen 1t (Sd.Kfz.10) Demag "D7"
(Kit 7201)
It's a lovely kit from a small player playing in the big league.
The only trouble I had so far were a few annoying sink/ejector marks, and a suspect void that had to filled in behind the left front fender.









Cheers
Rob

Hi Jim,

It's a lovely little kit, some very fine parts, a couple of which my fumble fingers snapped but fortunately they glued back together OK. Lots of finish options too.

Al

Rob - welcome with your Demag! Don't be shy - it's good to have you building along with everyone!



My Birthday was this past weekend, and I took the opportunity to enjoy myself and take a break from Life for a couple of days. Getting back into my WC-64 KD Ambulance, I went ahead and performed an old-school modification and posed the front wheels to add some character to the final miniature. I hung the Axles from the Leaf Springs and then went back to consulting photos of the restored vehicles for locating the Shock Absorbers. This calls for trimming away the molded-in detail Skybow provides on the Frame Rails and making new mounts for the larger, oil-filled, Monroe telescopic Shock Absorbers that go on both Axles to soften the ride for transporting the wounded. The WC-64 KD Ambulance was the only variant of the Dodge Weapons Carrier fitted with these Shocks in WW II service, from what references cite. They stick out from underneath the large Fenders, difficult to miss.

I'm going to get some modeling time tomorrow evening at my local IPMS Chapter meeting - so I hope to hang the Shocks on the Frame and move on...

Happy post birthday Jim,

Nice work.

Here is another update to my Opel Blitz build. The lower section of the cab has hull red undercoat color applied to a Tamyia rattle can primer coat. This image shows the cab portion with several light coats of hairspray on it in preperation for the paint chipping.



This image shows the front view of the lower cab section. Here you can see the paint chipping effect I applied. The cab is just temporarily sitting on the frame to give a better perspective. The engine kit is still to be installed.



Just a slightly different view of the cab showing more of the paint chipping effect.



When this has dried I will begin installing the engine kit.

Mike

Looks very nice Mike!

@ Alan: your Tilly looks good, I would love to have a real vehicle dont you just love the way it looks.

@ Michael: the Opel is coming along nicely, Love the wear/scrapes on the body.

@ John: I dont know what vehicle you have there, but nice work so far.

@ Jim: how do you accomplish such fine work on your chassis in this scale, I have trouble being able to see to build mine. Great work.

I played with my RPM Ford T.





Did a little rought sanding to attempt some texture for the canvas top.


had to put smaller axle/spindles on the front. The kits were so big that it would look rediculous.


The fuel tank and kit supplied 55 bbl. The kit also came with (4) foot pedals just incase you lost any. Yep I lost all of them, so I will have to scratch some it takes (3) gas, brake, clutch.

Hi Bob,

Thanks, The Ford will be an interesting one to watch develop.

Main build of the Tilly is done, weathering, stores and some figs will join it and the end result will have the tail board dropped most probably





Al

Hi Guys,

A little later.











Al

@ Alan: your Tilly is nice, I like it and last night I was watching a 1951 movie ("HAPPY GO LOVELY") that had a civilian Tilly in it. After the scenes of the Tilly were over I turned it off. The Tilly in the movie was a panel version delivery vechicle.

Bob

Thanks Bob, change of plan for the next one going to make a start on the Chevy 30cwt. Got some figs done already.

Look forward to developments on the Ford T, should be a classic..

Al

Moving right along, (see my blog for more photos)


Not a "welcome to resin type of kit" as there is a lot of trimming, fitting, over and over again, and some scratch-building needed to place some resin parts. So far nothing that couldn't be solved, but it certainly does get frustrating, helps you create new words as you go along, wishing you could grow a third hand.

Al, the Tilly looks great.
