Well, it is the Animals campaign anyway....

Hi all,

I{m goin to participate in this campaign with a 1/35 Hobbyboss Skoda PA-2 "Turtle"

I've looked at this kit, looking forward to your build, Daniel! I wonder if comes with the flat tire...

Update on my Nashorn:





Like Dustin, I'll drop whitewash over the top, but unlike him I'm going to leave most of it on then set up the crew in the fighting compartment. My figure skills are not too hot though.

I see this campaign will be ending very shortly. Can kits over 50% but less than 100% be submitted? Campaign link doesn't say from what I have read, unless I missed it.

I think that it will be up to the Administrators.

Agreed; the campaign leader makes the call, but as a general rule most campaigns limit new entries to 20% completed. How one would measure that I have no idea, but I'm guessing the difference between 20% and 50% is readily apparent.

Finished! This little guy was rather easy. The only problems where that the belly's air intake was too big and had to be substantially cut down and the prop came broken in the box.

Looks nice, David!

Locator pins and flash for days. And nothing quite lines up. Oh well. Flash and sanding aside, this has been a fairly easy build so far.

Just finished my last campaign build, and thought this would be my next campaign. I'll be building the Tamiya 1:35 Marder III Ausf. M. Marder is the German word for the marten.

What exactly is a marten? Here is a pic of one.


Here are the required starting pics with today's date.

Yep, they are basically weasels,

Begining with the Skoda,

Was able to get a little work done last night. The chassis went together without any issues. Need too cleanup the suspension and the road wheels are ready for primer.

More progress made last night.

Suspension and fenders have been added



Side panels ready for assembly


Road wheels and rollers ready for painting in the Quick Wheel mask

She's ready for paint!

Flash aside, this was a fairly easy build.

Continuing with the Skoda,

Was able to do some painting over the weekend. Base coat is complete.

Major painting is now complete. Need to finish the tracks, tools and decals.

Shaping up nicely, Mark!

The Marder III Ausf. M is now complete. Won't be doing any weathering on this one.

Dragon Tiger I progress update.

More update pics, Tiger I before weathering.

Finally time to show show updated photos on this puppy...




Time for some whitewash and winter precip.....
