I'm still here and patiently awaiting March so I can attempt to make a box of plastic look something like this!:



Keith

Hi, fellas.

As you know I´m planning to start the campaign with the Dragon Flakpanzer I kit#6577 and one of the things that bothers me was the lack of detail on the interior´s plates, to be precise the antislip pattern stamped on the plates.

I know I can buy a PE to detail these but the kit is expensive enough to invest more money on it and I´m not planning a contest/museum quality model on that one.

But two days ago I fell in bed with fever and the doctor diagnoses pharyngitis and prescribe antibiotics. With the medicine the fever slowly decreases and today when I go to take the pills I note something very interesting in the packaging. Whoa! May be not the perfect and most accurate pattern but here it is. The most luckily of all the pharyngitis I ever had. Hahaha!



See you on March!

Raul.

Yes Raul! Take a negative and get creative with it! I know all about that.

Now that I am getting my head turned around I must get back to the missions at hand and get busy so I will be entering with the Sgt. York.






See you all in a few days!










~ Jeff

Here´s the image, sorry.

OR... I am seriously thinking about this right here.



Instead of the Yorkie.










~ Jeff

OOOOOOO.....I wanna see this one Jeff!!! 1/16...OH YEAH!

Gary

Go big or don't go at all Jeff, that's what I heard somebody say once. I think. Either way, it's a good idea.

It's 1/6 Gary! I have a 'guilty pleasure' collection of 1/6 items so I will accept this with open arms.

Yeah... here lately going big has been more my game than anything, especially in 1/16.

I have 3 brand new 1/16 FO Tamiya tanks kits I am itching to tear into.










~ Jeff

Jeff, WTG!! You're the leader of the pack for sure.
Joel

Here is the project I'm going with. I have the eastern express BTR-D and skif's ZSU-23-2 that I will combine with host of goodies from eduard and masterclub. Both kits are going to need some serious work, but I'm up for a challenge.

Jeff, I think DML also do a /6th 3.7cm Flak 43, same one that was used on the Ostwind I believe.

Another Biggy for Jeff!! That is what I`m talking about!

Phil.

Well, I'd rather have something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARMORTEK-1-6-SCALE-FULLY-RC-A34-COMET-TANK-ONLY-50-KITS-RELEASED-WORLDWIDE-/300853452314?_trksid=p2047675.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555001%26algo%3DPW.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29%26meid%3D5829605295654281952%26pid%3D100010%26prg%3D1013%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D321078957184%26 in 1/6 (not for this Campaign of course) but I'm up to my eyeballs in doctor bills so maybe later on down the road.










~ Jeff

Bah, it's ONLY something like 8,300$ USD, Jeff.

Yeah, well maybe not so high on the tree of life but I was looking at a 1/6 tank 'till I ran into the little detour but I will prevail later on down the road.










~ Jeff

EasternExpress & Skif... Christopher you're entering a world of pain and misery...

Now that's a challenge ...

Jeff,

Lemme know if you want walkaround shots of the York. I shot about 100 pics inside and outside of mine.

Jon

..and it has arrived!

Panther V Coelian with twin AM Flak 43 metal barrels:


I also received my new Iwata HP-C Plus airbrush on Friday, so I'm very ready to start on my first campaign.

Did notice that there were only 3 decals in the box, so I'll probably order a set of additional decals for this build. Are there any particular manufacturers I should look for?

Hey Kruppw, I like that vehicle. Seems like ive drove one many times on BF2 a couple-3 years ago...or similar. I look forward to your build Chris!

Nice lookin kit Vegard! OH Man, your gonna love that AB right there. Thats a nice piece of equipment.

Only a few more days! Im gonna be a bit late me thinks.

Gary

Veguard, in regards to your Coelian it was only a prototype build on an D chassis with a mock up turret. So it would only have the basic decals unless you want to go operational. Bison decals are quite nice, used them. I built this tank with the Verlinden conversion and old Tamyia tank.

Thanks Trevor. Ordered a few sets of Bison decals, along with some Early Prod. Panther tracks from Spade Ace.

Do as you please there Vegard, as there are no restrictions there.

I built the Accurate Armor turret on a D chassis and according to the photos it had no markings at all.




Nice going on the kit and the airbrush!










~ Jeff

Nice reference!

Without a dio, the model would look a bit bland with no decals or camo, so I'll add both.

Is this thread going to be stickied when the campaign starts?

We'll see. Remember, we have "new" management.










~ Jeff

Let me know with what you think of those tracks from Spade Ace. Quite interested in them. Thanks
