The TWINS look great there Rob! I just luv SU tanks!

What does the decal on the SU-85M stand for? I've never seen that one before.

Rodolfo - Beautiful work on your track and wheels, that Hetzer is going to be sweet!

I finished my second attempt at a TD, my first 1/72 model.


Merry Christmas all!

Hi Phil & gang,

As it all ends tomorrow (not the Mayans this time!) I'll officially admit defeat on my M36. But, for the record, here is where it's at! With most of the "build" part done I'm tackling stowage and tracks - then it's off to the paint shop! Probably another month before it is ready for display...








I need to update my build log, but not til later this week!

Rodolfo, Very well done. I'm sure I'll be looking back at your progress while I build my own Hetzer.

Tom, That's a shame. Your M36 is looking great. I would have loved to seen her painted up.

Tom: its too bad that you ran out of time as it looks like you are going to have a superb build when finished. Will look forward to seeing it finished in the new year.

Had a bit of a mishap, managed to knock both TD of the desk and almost all the way to the floor, some boxes stopped them.
The damage is minor one gun broke off and the front lower hull seam opened on the other, both easy fixes. So I will fix that and add some pigments then call them done. Will post to the gallery in a bit.

Cheers Rob.

Hey guys ... Sorry for the lack of attention but this year has ended up being the most cocked up and strange i have experienced ever ,, right now i am sitting in a little cabin on a very big ship and with all my belongings in stowage and at last i have the net back after 3 days of it being down and with all the other things going on i forgot about this campaign .
Now i have a question ... does anyone need an extension to complete their projects ???
If so i would be more than happy to ask Gary for one .. if not then i will start to hand out the ribbons to the gents with completed builds .
I will be back tomorrow so i will answer ya all back very soon
By the way ... absolutely brilliant builds guys its all you guys who made this a great campaign .
