Wow, very impressive Euan!! Some great work being produced by everyone here

Euan,
an excellent BRDM. My favorite parts are the camouflage (I've never seen that one before), the weathering on the tire treads, and the chipping.
Thanks for posting!

By the way, my kids are finishing up some earlier builds to clear the benches for this one. With time running out, we should probably start soon!

hey guys,

im not part of this campaign but thought i would share my missile tank my son helped me with, he came down with chicken pox and was at home when i normally do my modelling, as i work nights i get to crack on in the daylight lol anyways, my son is only 5 but he loved doing the base paint on the hull and helping weather the tracks, great job to all the pics ive seen on here so far!

Thanks for your kind words guys!
Euan

P.S.
Your IT-1 is looking great, the more Russian armour the better!
Thanks
Euan

Thank you,

I normally stick to modern US/UK, the IT 1 was a Xmas gift and after doing it, I was really interested in how the Russians do it, will be doing more Russian beasts for such now! Lol

Bronzey

Sounds excellent. I can strongly recommend any of the other new, modern Russian kits from Trumpeter.
Thanks
Euan

I'm making progress on the Grizzly, despite very brittle plastic and the fact that I've begun to dread painting the same way I dread the dentist.

Painting is the best part for me, it's the building that can sometimes be slightly laborious. Just my opinion. What colours do you intend on painting your Grizzly?
Thanks.

Hey guys sorry I havent been very active lately, wrestling season is finally finished up and I will have more bench time. Everyone's builds are looking really good, I think I want to attempt sculpting a figure. Ive tried it before and it came out decent, but I want to legitimately try this time! Im looking for a picture to model after, I got some new ideas from Finescale (is that word allowed here?) that I think im going to try

There's a lot of progress and some very fine work being done. Since I'd hate to see anything get rushed to meet a "deadline" would it be agreeable to add an extension on the time-frame? This is your group build so let me know

I don't mind an extension. In my experience, my kids don't overly detail their builds, and when I was a kid, I certainly didn't take time to paint every part, but just like us, they have to work in model-building time against school, homework, chores, etc., so it can take a while!

Anyway, here's my son's start. He has chosen an HO scale diorama kit from Woodland Scenics called D's Diner.


Of course more pics as they become available.
-Sean

I agree an extension would be favorable

If there is going to be a time extension, could I do another build, just for fun?
Thanks
Euan

Hi guys, Im going to include my Su-100 in this campaign.

I will post some pictures tomorrow.

Cheers, Sven.

I just gave Andrew a Tamiya F4F. He wants to get started right away, so hopefully it will be done in time.

hi guys,

sorry for not dropping in recently I have had my school entrance exams and have not had much time for modelling . Also we have a 5 month old labrador puppy who also takes up a lot of time.

anyway i have made a start on my King Tiger and shall post pictures a bit later on

cheers,
luca

Hi,
My son is in....
I buy a Me109 G10 from Revell in 1/72 in the starter set range.

We squeazed in more time at this before Cub Scouts yesterday. He's got the interior painted and most of the dry transfer signage on. Parts are coming together.


-Sean.

Looks like he has a great project going on there Sean

Welcome Jose & son, I've always liked the ME 109 series, looking forward to seeing some progress!

Hi guys,

The build has finally started!





And a picture of my distraction. Our new 4 legged terror


Should i post most of my progress in my Thread in the AFV section or in this thread. Or just post the same post in each one?
Thanks,
Luca

in the end, this will be the model I'm entering.
It is the airfix zero with only eduard masks to add, here are the pictures of the work so far;

















Kind regards,Sven.

Luca, posting in your own thread is fine, just keep us updated here!

Sven, even though you are pointing out the downsides this is looking great

Thanks James, I made a little video and uploaded it to youtube.

Zero Build!

I hope you like it.

Well done Sven...both the build and the video I've just started to try out the Vallejo washes myself and they seem to work very well.
