i didnt take a beginning photo prior to starting this campaign, however i do have the early photos taken,

the main box


the bottom chassis


the turret area

Sorry to hear that Phil, I hope Today is better.

Cheers Rob.

got a tad further


inside pictures (x3)






and the turret on the hull, needs final primer and i can start the airbrushing and other little final touches

Got a little work done on the SU-85, I found that the small part of the rear hatch had two small recesses instead of protrusions that my reference shows. So out came the Waldron punch and die set and that did the trick cleaned some more parts did a bit of PE but that's all for now.

Cheers Rob,

A little more progress. The wheels went on very smoothly, all I had to remove to make them fit was some paint.

Hi all,
I´m bored , so here´s a second entry




This is going to be a quicky so it´ll be done before
the next campaign kicks in in November

@ David: I know your doing this kit too (PC Screen) but don´t worry it´s not going to be a competition

Paul

well here we go,
Torsion bars taped of:



Running gear fixed together:



Hull parts fixed together and puttied. Some holes must be filled and rest is to add some texture:



Cleaned up 88mm on a tooth pick so i don´t loose it



More tomorrow, Paul

@Paul, excellent choice on the Jagdpanther. I really like this kit, it went together super fast.

I started with the camo pattern last night but my camera battery died when I tried to take a picture. It seems I didn't pick colors as well as I wanted. I think all three of the paints that I selected are measurable darker than I expected but oh well. I think it will turn out okay, the details just might not show as well.

I have finished my Krupp Steyr Waffentrager.

Started working on the tracks.
With some filler.

Cheers Rob.

Lap Man ,, That turned out very very nice dude ..very well done ,,the toning of the paint is really good ..ya i would be most happy with how that turned out

Rob ... Mate i don't want to be the barer of bad news but i can see two problems ..one ..those tracks will be way to heavy for that P38 and two...they won't fit


Phill

I'll make em fit.

I have finished the interior of the M-10, now on to the warped upper hull.

Beautiful Waffentrager Lap!









~ Jeff

John-----Outstanding work on the M-10 interior. Looks like I could hop in it and drive around in it and destroy some things. Very well done.

Lap Man---Beautiful finish. Those red primer finishes are really striking when done correctly and you nailed that one! Well done indeed.


Regards, Ian

Lap Man: very nice work on the paint job. Absolutely perfect.

John: The interior looks great. Nice job.

Happy Modeling, -zon

So it turns out that I am a goofball and missed the part in the instructions where it told me to fill in about 8 holes on the hull of my jagdpanther. I was able to get a 'seal' in the holes with paint but the holes are still very noticable and the model is fully painted.

Has anyone else done this before or have an idea of how to fix it without messing up the paint on the hull? I am tempted to leave the holes as the are.

The trick I used to fill some holes on my current project is stretching some sprue over a flame. Then take the stretched sprue and glue it into the hole and trim off the excess. With some careful shaving and a litte putty, you can fill the hole and then paint over the fix.

Good luck.

Kevin

Here's 2 hours combined work



on my le.FH18/40/2(sf) auf G.W.Pz.Kpfw.III/IV

While this dries totally I'll roll out the FAUN.









~ Jeff

Jeff S: I think those road wheels are a little large?!?

Looking good, sir.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Totally agree with Zon Jeff ,,, those wheels are seriously wrong man

But seriously .... they not even for that tank

Very nice work so far buddy
Looking forward to seeing this one finished thats for sure .

Loving all the great work going on here guys some fantastic builds happening .
My apologizes for not showing my ugly mug much in here .,.very busy out my way at the mo so not getting huge time and what makes matters worse ,,tooth pulled today so slowed things down a little bit .
Will be getting back to normal next week

Phill

Wow... I can't get anything past you guys. You're alert and have eyes like a hawk to notice I left my T34 STZ wheels for my 1/16 build in the way.

They were part of a trade I made to get some extra wheels to build the special version that the kit does not offer.

Maybe it will part of my Large Scale http://armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Campaigns&file=index&req=showcontent&id=599 Campaign entry that kicks off at the first of the year.

Maybe?









~ Jeff

Well, I've run into a bit of a set back. I plan on putting a worn winter cammo on the Waffentrager using the hairspray method.
So I set on the hairspray and when it dries I see this



These two pictures (well there were two pictures but one was the dreaded red x so I just deleted it) are after I wet the affected areas with water to try to remove the hairspray ... but it ain't comin' off!

I'm going to just try and transform what I have here into a worn winter whitewash. It could be worse!

And LapMan ... Nice work!

Bill ,,Strange as this might sound but that looks pretty cool .. to me it has a pretty natural appearance to it ,,looks really worn like the white wash they used was pretty crap and washed off a lot faster than it should .
Either was you choose to go it looks cool to me dude


Phill

Managed to get some done on the SU-100.

Cheers Rob.
