Oh come on give me a brake.
What have I done to deserve this? I´ve apologized to Jeff,
for thing, what else must I do?
Here´s the next problem, not to sure about front shield
maybe it´s supposed to look like that but the sides
I´m going to have a beer or four and resolve this episode.

A jig and a hairdryer buddy!

Jig & hairdryer.

Well 3 hours and a ton of plastic shavings. I finally have some progress


I test fit the resin engine compartment. Has some minor warping, but nothing that can't be sorted out in short order.

I hit the sal grove, so i should have the engine compartment done tomorrow and on to the upper hull.

Wow! You gentlemen are diligent! I guess we'll see a first finished before the first month is over, which is way out of my league.
Now I do not wonder why the campaign time is so short: Y'all be finshed by half-time!
Cheers,
Guido

Hi all,

Some neat builds going on here, and I'm in a quandry. Do I build an M36 TD, or a Sturmtiger SPG? Choices, choices...

Tom

Apparently i could not wait till tomorrow to start on the engine compartment

So now my TD has some bling to go with its thump

Hey guys .... Looks like everyone is having fun which is making me hear three words in my head " getting left behind "
All good ..i'll catch up with you lot and yep i think your totally right Jeff .. Jon is winning the most amount spent to date on a kit

One thing i will be doing with my E100 is replacing the tracks so what i am gonna do is use Trumpeter tracks and drive sprocket as the tracks in mine are crap

Hopefully soon i will be attacking the E100 soon ..once i get this half track finished being built for that campaign then i am free for everything else .

Phill

WOW I have my own grove Nice looking work there Jon I built that kit for the Dragon OOB Campaign and loved it looking forward to seeing more
My Jagdpanzer got its 2nd coat of primer yesterday no work will be done today cause I'm off to an all day boat/beach trip

Can I use a The M5OA1 Ontos for this campaign





Thanks

Tom

Emil's progress so far







Will be working on the wheels soon..

Thomas ... the answer to your question is YES!! the Ontos was built as a tank destroyer so its in mate ... and welcome

John .. nice start on the Emil , won't be long before you have made some nice progress

Paul ... dude i feel for ya ..a brand new kit and great is almost the last word you could use .. the good thing is tho ..least we all now know what to expect even if we decide to get one .

Guido ,,, Both!!! not need to be picky matey BOTH!!

My entry for this campaign:



I am a StuG man at heart. I've built two 1/35s (one Tamiya, one Dragon), two of the Tamiya 1/48th kits (love 'em) and I have a Monogram 1/72 Ausf G in my stash I picked up for $5 on eBay.

Looking forward to finally cracking this one open. It's been sealed since 08 when I got it right before leaving Norfolk when I left the Navy.

This is what I will be building. I think Jon is building the same model so I will be watching his build with interest, no extras straight OOB.





Gary

Matt ... Always good to see a STuG mate .. will enjoy watching another one being built

Gary .. No2 of the hunting tiger group now we will see first hand two kits ..one modded and one OOB and see just how good they both can look ..this is gonna be cool

Phill

Gary...Mine went together without a problem, very good kit imo

Here is a little update

John,
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love de last models of german armour....

Hi there,
hair dryer and jig - never!
my ugly monster of a kit has not beaten me yet
Check this and lets see what you think:
Spacers to put the cradle straight



What´s yours Sir?
A small amount of scratch please






It´s not been glued yet, just masking taped.

@Jon: Awesome build, that metal barrel and resin engine are
excellent.
Paul

Paul
Incredible work!!!!!!!
Congratulations

Got a little done on mine, I am building the SU-85M Premium kit and using the extra pieces to make my older SU-85M kit into an SU-100.

Cheers Rob.

Jon, Glad you have had no problems, it looks great. I
will hopefully get a start this weekend.

Gary

Jon looking very nice indeed, love the engine & barrel

Rob very cool farming out of one kit to improve two!!

Paul like the new & improved version for sure!!!

Mike

Here are the photos of the Ontos in progress





Thanks

Tom

Okay, here is my start picture to enter the fray with!



These will be so much fun as I am in the middle of a Sturer Emil build (which is an open fighting compartment vehicle) which is similar to these also.

When the dust settles I want to get the Dicker Max too to add to the collection.

Jeff (PantherF),

I will be watching your leFH18 build with great interest. I saw it today and was so tempted to pick it up. Unfortunately both my wife and four year old daughter looked at me with "that look".

I'll just go back tomorrow when they are out and pick it up

What kind of price did you find on it?
