Well, i am calling my Brumbar complete. (though i did notice a couple touch ups needed on Track underside.)
I am working on a figure at the moment. If he comes out decent enough, i will post him in the final gallery with the build.




I made a base. This is the most time i have put in on a base at the moment. The figure would be here.



This was a nice kit build. The only real problems are really for the scurzen mounting brackets layout. With the zimmerit pre-molded, dragon did not inluded any mount points for them.

Hey guys, here are some pictures of my started build, I know I'm a little late to the game, but in "theory" I should be able to get everything done in time.







I filled in the molding holes

































thanks for looking, and thank you for letting take part in this campaign.

Hi Lucas, Christian and Marc,

Great build guys, the kits look terrific, nice work indeed.



This is where my Howitzer will end up. It still needs weathered, a crew and various other bits and bobs.



Cheers

I made more progress tonight and got the green down, and the camo on. I used a darker green then I think I should have, I find pictures of AS-90's that are lighter and a brighter green, then I find some that are darker and heavier like mine.

Too much scuffing? Hard to say here, as i am terrible at attempting the effect.
If it is a paper panzer , then yes. But it is your model and your artistic vision.
It is looking cool.
I like the group photo.

Why does the E50/ Panther F look liken it has a 37mm flak sticking out of the back half of an 88mm barrel? I like the wear you put on the Tiger.

Haven't done any work on the Bison. I got a new job and my hands hurt like bell. This must be what arthritis is like?

here are some finished pictures, I used Tamiya paints, and AK pgments for weathering. I'm not overally happy with the result, but it is what it is, for a $20 trumpeter kit it built accordingly













I'd post pictures up in the finished gallery but I'm out of space, and I can't delete any photos for whatever reason.

Hi Sal,

Thanks, it's part of a larger diorama I'm working on. Some top shots will give you an idea where it's going.







It's the second of my Somme scenes, there is a build blog going on here:

Glad you got started Sascha.

Look what just got here, no way in hell I'm finishing it in time for the camapign but for 66$ at Squadron I'm quite happy.



I already picked through the box, it all looks goood besides the tracks; which are notoriously bad.

It does actually have a driver and radio operaters compartment, with a very nice looking engine. Not sure wether it's the 230P or 245P though. A small fret of photo-etch for the engine grills

Decals are non existant, only an Oxidrot/primered vehicle.

It's a very nice kit according to reviews except the tracks and the interior walls of the fighting compartment do have some rather large ejector pin marks, but that's a pretty easy fix.

EDIT; I guess I should note that the 21cm Tiger is still on sale.
