I posted my thoughts on the wrong thread. Have not changed my build for this campaign.

Hello gentlemen,
Here are some pictures of the progress of work at my Demag, was still a bit of work, fortunately tedious scraping behind me. It remains a pleasure, I have to paint the details. I was also wondering over some vignette set up, because I have to somehow figure. I thought of coniferous forest edge or road in the French village of some wall or fence. Any suggestions welcome.

Looks fantastic Pawel. Great work

It´s a beauty, Pawel. A truly great built. Congratulations!

Raul

Beautiful work Pawel!

Nice work Pawel.

Quick update on my Renault

I was able to mask off and put down some sand to the R35. It dried a bit darker than I wanted...more tan than sand. And the edges are a little inconsistent. I'm hoping to clean it up some with the addition of the black outlines.

Pardon me for asking what is probably already obvious, but as I read the description this would NOT include the invasion of Norway 1940, right? I JUST cracked open a cyber-hobby Neubau Fahrzeug, and to my knowledge those did not see combat anywhere but there.

Nice work Pawel,
are those the Esci Figures included in the kit? They´re looking better than I thought...


Ceep going Alex... you almost got it...
the black lines helped me to hide my masking flaws, it did look a bit strange in between as I´ve used a Maker for it and so the lines were quite glossy... but the clear coat took care of that:



Will tackle the weathering tomarrow and the it´s up to the base...

hello, nice work Pawel and fabian .here is my kit for the campaign
steph

Thank you and I am very happy with you like it.

@Fabian D.
These are the figures included with the set, I had no idea that this product ESCI, after small modifications, like German soldiers.
Black lines look great, once I made Polish Vickers 6 ton a similar painting and also wondering on using a marker to do the black lines but in the end I painted them with a brush. As flushing Vickers I'll show some pics. I loved the always liked this kind of camouflage, in Poland before the war, it was called Camo Japanese.

@ Alex
Your R35 also looks good, maybe after applying filters, color to your tank will look as you wanted.

It's nice that you're doing similar models, you will be able to see how each of you will do it, and each one will be different and unique.

Here's my entry into this build

Sascha(Ironowl)

Sascha;

That's a GREAT choice (and nice kit, too!) for this campaign, IMO!

I built one of these (this specific kit, with an added metal barrel from RB) for a previous campaign (didn't have this campaign in my sights yet and "needed" to build a nice, clean, simple Tamiya kit as a break from wrestling with other stuff! ) Or I might well have done it HERE!

You'll want to do it up with a brown-over-gray scheme as regs had it before May 1940, I think. I did that scheme, although it may not be easy to see it...



PS: Many, but not all, smaller panzers in France, 1940 wore a white band or rectangular patch for aerial recognition...

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the cute little girl!

Bob

Thanks Bob That's a Nice PzII you have there, thanks for the Information as well. I will be building slowly over time looking forward to getting this build underway.

I am not afraid of these tracks.

In fact I have half of them ready , does not look like much though.

Cheers Rob.

Fear not! He who dares WINS!

Yeah... When I did this clip-n-clean step, and amassed all 200+ tiny links in one of those little plastic cups, I remember there was an on-set of trepidation and angst: "So... is this all there are? Are there actually enough of these little boogers to get all the way 'round on both sides?". This followed by a sort of weird glee when I realized that I had actually done ALL of them! This followed by a sort of self-satisfied gazing into the little cup in my hand as I beheld my tiny treasures...

And then I flipped the cup over and off to the floor...

I'm pleased to be able to say that I think I found almost all of them. The carpet kept, at most, 2 or 3! But isn't that why kits provide some spares?

Bob

hello, here is my progress, I decided to "dress up" the inside of the turret.
steph

nice work on the interior Steph, your kit is based on the Heller R35, right?

whished I had seen this before, as it´s looking way better than my improvisation...
But I guess a was a bit faster with the gear ring, as I used a plastic tie down strip, which just needed to be cut in half

thank you Fabian.
yes, the base is that the venerable kit heller, which in my eyes is still a good working basis.
steph

You´re telling me...

I´m calling my little Renault (almost) done now... the scene will require some work (and the figures still need their heads), but I currently can´t get botherd to do the remaining fence section as I need to make more of the barbed wire... but not the worst moment for a small break





so maybe I can find the shovel in the mean time, so that I can finish the tool rack...

Wow Fabian. Very nice.

Update on mine. Basically I just added the black outlines. I'll go back over them again to touch up a few places. Washes and such should help a lot as well.

Hi my entry

Update:
Got decals on, some mud...to be continued.

update:
I changed the insignia to the 5th from the 7th Panzer.Picture above is the 7th.

Almost forgot this one,



Need to work on the other side now.

John;

Please do catch up with and fill in that deep sink-hole in those sprockets - one of the common failings in some of these older kits. You'll not live it down if those hang in there after you do the girl up completely!

Bob
