Woah. Not even close.

We're both swamped and miles away from finishing.

Never thought we'd smack into the deadline that hard.

Here's were I am:



The battlefield at cease of hostilities:



We'll call it a day. Food now. Maybe some easy modelling into the small hours and then to bed.

I'll finish this the usual way in the following weeks.

See ya all. Thanks for watching.

Out.

Some progress on the Hetzer:
- White wash in progress, wheels and tracks will be next.

Next week photo update...

Hi all,

I have made a start on my entry it will be a 1/48 P-47 Razorback. Still working out what markings I want to do as I have a hundred or so options....

I will post some pics later once the wife returns home with the camera.

Mark

I'm in with a 32nd sclale Spitfire IXc.

It is to hot today to do anything. Temp is 98 with a heat index of 113. I don't know what that is in celcius, but it is way to hot to even go out to water. So, I started this morning. Got some of the interior sprayed. Now it is time to watch a little baseball on TV.

Great kit.

tony

Anthony, I just picked up that kit so i will be following your build, post lots of photos

I finished up the Officer for my Mobelwagen and mounted him to the rear of the crew

He is there to oversee the use and demonstration of this proto-type vehicle that is why he is in the uniform of the General Staff

Gotta love these old Tamiya kits no fit problems quick builds and just enough detail to look decent Everything here is Tamaya including most of the paint Now I need to get a decent photo for the gallery

Looking good Sal.....Well done......

Congrats Sal, it came out terrific.

hi sal
just seen your update!
nice job on the mobelwagen

S04 sPzAbt 101 which is white wash. never done a white wash but ill give anything a try . will you be doing a build log on your tiger? maybe could help each other out with any info we can find...

tony

I finished my Hetzer, will post some pics tomorrow, it's getting dark.
The Tamyia Hetzer is a sweet kit, I truly recommend .

Well, I signed up for this campaign, and originally could not find where it was on the site! I know its armorama, but usually I do wingy things. I picked up this Tamiya 1/48 MkI Spit from a local store that was going out of business, so I got this and some other kits. Dont worry, I have a Bradley from the sale in the stash! But for me this was what many would call; a therapy kit. Sometimes it is nice to have a kit that is not a pain with assembly, but you can enjoy the painting and weathering, and that was precisely what this one was. I kept the latter to a basic, and used my recently aquired Pro Modeler wash. (I like it a ton better then using oils!) Included are my progress pics, as well as finished pics. I lack a good camera, so they were taken off my android, but I did find a cool vintage photo app, and this really made the spit more gorgeous. (Those are in my gallery)

Michael - that was fast. It looks well finished. cool

Well, it took a week, but I could not find the campaign in aeroscale! I usually get ample time to work on my kits, as I wake up early specifically to squeeze it in before work!!! I Built this one up early july-ish, but just found the right stream.

Here's the finished Hetzer:

The hetzer looks great,
Hi guys i have a litlle progress with my sdkfz 7, i just finished the gun and the chasis.
The gun with the news cannons

This is the chasis, someone knows how to paint it? i mean what type of primer colors etc, this is my first truck.

Hi guys,i will be participating using this kit.It is in1/48 scale.

some very nice updates here
im currently doing work on my tiger not been able to all week
days off rule XD



Mamooth - in regards to your question of priming it can vary really on what colour the vehcile is! i normally use black as my colour primer as i tend to do dark colour vehciles in olive etc plus with a black primer you can see the little mistakes like where pieces have gone together properly and if doing a chipping method i tend to scratch the olive drab off and the black is underneath showing then. but thats what i do! maybe some one can give another option for you!

I apreciate your coment Anthony.

I might do a 2nd build for this Campaign...
a Panzer II (OOB)or a Panzer IV J (w/ATAK Zimm & Voyager PE & Resin stowage)

Damn I'm addicted to Plastic again ....

Just an easy OOTB build for me on an OLD Tamiya kit. I'll add a Legends NATO tank Crew also.

I'll use this to try out some new painitng techniques

Here's the kit :



Paul

@Paul - I'm interested in how well that kit goes together. I waqs looking at one in my LHS for $10 last week. Until I turned around and saw bin after bin of Verlinden figures for $2.99. Needliess to say, I came home with a bag full of mini-men.

Update on the M-41. Haven't been working on it much. Fighting off some kind of killer cough and I've been falling asleep watching TV after work. Managed to get in a little detail painting last night.

I'm really starting to hate macro mode I did the heat exchanger leaflets on the MCD and while to the naked eye they seem to be aligned in macro you get this. They are minute and very thin so tamiya's extra thin dissolves them fast and deforms the tiny pieces. I will see if it looks better under a coat of paint so I might redo them if necessary.



The slave cable receptacle needs a hole drilled out and a connector wire added to link it to the MCD



the cable conduit for the APU cable is also done



I drilled a few holes (really small diameter) here, one still to go



A tow bar is added on the side of the turret since I saw that on a pic of the tank I will be doing (Valhalla)



A shackle is replaced with this thingy as per the reference I got



And replacement sprockets with the correct lightening holes



The turret finally got it's barrel. It's RBmodels and I wouldn't recommend it. The resin part (middle) had miss-aligned hole drilled out and I had to putty it with epoxy putty and drill a new one.



Here's how it looks like now



That's it for now. There's still lots to do, so little time

Here are my results of my first experiment making a mantlet cover and using Magic Sculpt on my Pershing. After taking the pic and seeing it enlarged on the computer, I ran back outside to trim mostly the sides down some. So when I get more pics, it should look a little smaller. I think the grey Magic sculpt worked better then my early attempts at using Squadron putty. I'm going to add PE guards and MG next. Suggestions welcomed always
