Finished the track, just some finishing to be done

Hi lots of great work here so far and I am a little late to the party but I am finally ready to start

This kit is an Italier rebox that Tamiya added to I did a review of it a few months back here
https://armorama.kitmaker.net/review/10071
I took it on a roa trip to my aunts and this iswhat I got done in the 1 day there

Hello,everybody.

This campaign looks popular with already 71 modelers enlisted !

The beginning of my humvee.

I have to cut the pins on the axles and drill a hole for putting the DEF model wheels instead of Academy one.



Tool rack from Tamiya. I add two straps with buckles built with photoetched parts.







Towing hook from Tamiya

The Chally is assembled and primered. I'll let it rest for a day or two before painting. Looking at the color issue over the net i saw that people paint it with a with a number of colors, so here is the question. Would White Ensign's Gulf Armour Light Stone be correct? And if no, which one is?

Made a start.....
more PE in this kit than any other I've done, If my patience lasts I'll try and use it all.....no promises though.

Stick with it Max, they are adding nice little details....

hello,
almost complete, lacking only a few details and a radio operator. your comments are welcome . thank

Hello everyone

I just noticed this campaign and I've signed up (I think...). I've just finished my Canadian RG-31 in Afghanistan and I'll post some picture here later tonight. Do I need to post them somewhere 'officially'? It's been awhile since I've entered a campaign and I'm unsure of the process.

cheers
Bob

Here's some of my WIP shots taken recently:














I'll post some shots of the finished model later tonight after a bit of weathering.

Finished photos uploaded to the campaign gallery.

Everyones stuff is looking just grand. Before I commit I would like to enter a 1/35 Tamiya Tunisian Tiger. I got the kit and started the turret but nothing else is even unbagged. I'm waiting on PE, AM decals and Fruills. Is this acceptable?

hello, I will say that my chevy ended

Hello,

After considering the timescales and the contents of my stash I've decided to join with a couple of braille scale builds, Trumpeters AS90 and a Dragon Challenger II, both from Operation Telic - Iraq 2003.

My campaign completion history is mixed, so we will see how we go.

Chris

Bob,
It looks nice but you'll need some pictures of the model before you started. I'm not sure if I understand but I'm taking it that your model was already being built before you joined the campaign. I haven't seen sign of Paul in a bit but maybe John can weigh-in on the matter.

Hi there all sorry for buggering off again, I had a short break at home and some other life things are getting in the way, but I hope to get really stuck in now.
Alex B thanks for stepping up again my friend, I owe you one

Benjamin, looking good there , a very nice and clean paint job, hard to believe its hand painted

Tom, lovely soldering work on the PE , this will look great under a coat of paint

Fernanda, nice progress there, just remember to take a little
more time , you'll then be rewarded with a fantastic looking build

Sal, nice choice my friend . But isn't it a little on the small side for you

Alex T., nice progress , looking forward to more.

John, the paint job is a good question . I'm going for Model Masters British Gulf war sand and lighten it up a bit .
Here's a pic of a repainted Chally 1 at Duxford, maybe this will help you a bit




Max, a fantastically clean build there looking forward to seeing more of this "floorfull" kit

Steph, lovely build my friend , you done an excellent job on the ground work and the antenna just rocks

Bob, nicely done there . I would have liked to have seen some in build pics , but maybe next time then, ok?

Ian, welcome in here , The rules state no started kits, but show a pic of what you have and we'll see from there. It doesn't sound to far along maybe this could be a yes

Chris, welcome to you too , nice choice there and I hope to her done

Stick at 'em lads, everything is looking mighty fine




Paul

Hi Paul
Some of my in-build pics are in my post. I just put them in all at once. I have more if you like.

Bob

Here's where I'm at with the Tamiya Tiger, I hope that's acceptable.





Eduard PE, TechMod decals and a box of Fruils that showed up today. Mmmmmmmmmmm good.

Ok Ian, go for it buddy






Paul

Very good sir, I have enlisted.

I will be constructing legendary Tiger "131" from sPzAbt 504.

Paint will be RAL 8000 and RAL 7008 from Tamiya mixes.

I have three days off so the party will start this afternoon.

Many posts ago.. I was working on my Pz III turret..

Today's work,




Dragon's instructions are still a mess, anyway I'd like to finish the turret this next weeks..

Here's where I am on my Braille Valentine Tank build:

All Sub-Assemblies have been completed and being readied for final assembly. Bottom Hull & Running Gears have been painted after assembly. I opted to use metal barrel from Aber instead of using the kit-supplied part on the sprue.


Dry-fitting shows a big gap between the top hull and bottom hull, which I will fill in during final assembly:

Been a good weekend of activity.

Painted the tracks, washed, and some initial weathering started. These are now assembled onto the model.

Re-did the wash on the tank body and it came out a lot better, sealed with matt varnish. Once dry I put on the decals and sealed with another layer of varnish. Started the weathering process on the main tank, but haven't got very far on that yet.





Also managed to assemble the crew!

John nice to see you're still at her my friend , shes
coming along slowly but surely

Marcos a lovely little build there dude looking forward to the paint job

Benjamin that little gang will make a great scene there
Looking forward to seeing more


Paul
