Well, we're off and running! I thought I was the only one w/ a full year of unfinished kits!!

Hopefully I can pick just one to finish!!

Enjoy

I play around with old Lindberg kits, especially their 1/48 aircraft. I like to modify them for some of my "alternative history" and "what-if" stuff. It's alot easier on my sanity than cutting up a more expensive kit.

It's a trip down memory lane for me. Just realizing how good we ALL have it now and also at the same time to pull some of that modeling magic out instead of just gluin' a kit together.

And then jumping on the band wagon whining about how off their $70 Tasca kit is!

sure, why not..
I might even finish up something that was started for one of the other getter's...

Hey Fellas,
While i wait for the APC/AFV campaign to start, let me try to do something with this old Tamiya 251/1 SPW.

Hi folks,

Well I signed up I have 3 half built kits to finish plus a dio, so no lack of things to get done.

Cheers

Al

I am in with the Dio I started for last years "Urban Warfare" campain and with a 1/2 finished Tamiya-San SdKfz 251. So at least one set will get finished from 2011 (The "Anti Air Campaign Duster was ditched when I had a chance to look at the AFV kit last month)

After looking at that Hanomag 251, i remember why i never continued. At least i can use it for practice.

Ok, so now after the first shock from what You all just saw has settled, I would like to ask If it is possible to enlist with a build that needs to be taken apart before it can be assembled agagin. Let me explaine. What You see is the old Kfz.7 from Hasegawa which I started more than 15 years ago. It never got finished and last year I decided to take it apart and build again. Now its in this jar of brake fluid which will hopefully dissolve some of the cement used back then. So the bg question is, is it legit to enter ?

Well here's my entry. STRV 103C



going to be using some Eduard etch as well, i wanted to make the RPG fence.

Nice. I built the C a few years back.

Still have it in Gate Guard Green.

Naseby,

At first I thought you had pickled your Kfz 7 in formaldehyde!

Best of luck in bringing her back to life.

Nate

Getting some progress done on the 251. Not really having fun though at the moment. It's just such a crappy kit. Once the painting starts, maybe i will enjoy it more.

EEK..pickled model kits!!! sounds like an interesting re- build

I finally got around to restarting the Merkava IV LIC..trying to decide on ordering Friul tracks..and theres that empty bustle, and the ball armor...

I promise some progress pics on my entry ... if I can find the box. I put it somewhere, just where is the question.

Someone once mentioned I should receive hazard pay for working on it.

Do they do that and where do I sign up at?

Ola Guys

I signed up today for this campaign. This week I finished a kit that I started in 2007 and it ended up looking like this

I also dug up the old thread where the whole built is shown.
BA1 builtlog

But Now I got the spirit and I got a few more shelfqueens that could use a long overdue finish. One of them is also a built from 2007 and it is an Al-by Dragon Panhard 178. This is how it still stands today at my parents house

And the builtlog of it

I'm planning on giving it the same threatment as the BA1 and I'm going to pick it up from my parents house coming sunday.

Also I'm going to pick up this vehicle:

Mercedes Benz Stuttgard 260 Luftschutzwagen. It got a coating of paint but never weathered it.

And this vehicle

Lend lease Dodge. Got a coat of paint and then stopped working on it.

And this one.

Renault H39. It still sits as this. Interior was painted. Outside got a coat of primer and then I screwed up the kittracks and I have to invest in friuls.
More pics of all the work involved in this kit can be seen here in the gallery
Bronco Renault H39 Detailproject.

I don't know if I will finish them all in this campaign but I will try my best. There are even more shelfqueens then these vehicles above but some need a lot of repair. Some vehicles already donated parts to other projects. From some vehicles I don't even know if I have all the parts to finish them. So for this campaign I limited myself to vehicles that are relatively late in the progress mostly after painting and are therefor relatively easy to finish.

I'm looking forward to it.

With friendly greetz

Wow...nice selection of unfinished kits for this campaign. Looking forward to see the end results. Here is my entry for this campaign...Italeri's M110. I'm hoping to include this as part of my firebase diorama that had been put on hold for the last few months

Hi,

I just noticed this campaign and thought it was a brilliant idea, I have several part done and nearly done models (nothing unusual there, most modellers are the same) and this would be the perfect excuse to get some finished.

Here are a few of the things I will attempt to finish during the next six months....

The MK72 Sd.Kfz.10 Demag...


The Trumpeter Stug III backdated to an A....


The Pegasus 75mm Infantry Gun, just needs painting....


The ICM Sd.Kfz.222....


The Trumpeter Jagdpanther, just needs washes and weathering...


Dragon Elefant, again just needs washes and weathering...


Italeri/Roden Opel Blitz...


This stuff has been in a drawer for longer than I care to admit, I think the oldest build is about 3 years the most recent 9 months. I hope to get a decent amount of them finished for this campaign and will make the usual promise that most modellers make...'I will only start another kit once I have finished this one....'. I know that will end in an epic fail, but you have to try don't you.

All the best,

Paul

Yep, thought I had a rare affliction and was the only one who had a few unfinished models/projects.

I doubt I get them all completed like you're attempting.








~ Jeff

Heres the kit I'm hoping to complete for this campaign! I am trying a new technique using very fine sand to replicate the course anti- slip found on the IDF tanks.

I found pics showing the panel lines around the exhaust were incorrect, so out came the putty



This kit is really starting to fall together quick..more pics to follow!

Jeff

That's a kit I have had on my list for some time.

Seeing it built as yours is and the "In The Box Review" is accelerating it off the list!









~ Jeff

Spurred on by other events, I decided to enter this campaign and finally get around to finishing my Dragon 1/72 SU100.



I had completed a little of the lower hull and all of the road wheels, parts of the upper hull and a few other bits,



Maybe this time I'll finally get the damn thing finished!!!


Paul

I bought it planning to add the Droid system..found out too late this MBT didn't utilize it..

The sand texture was pretty simple using "Future " for an adhesive!!!

Jeff

Some interesting builds to finish up here!!

I will try to finish this one, which has been on and off (mostly off) my bench for over 2 years.



Happy Modeling, -zon
