Anyone out there interested in modelling the Famous Famo? Superdetailed in any way you like??
Must be FUN.
If anyone requires ANYTHING on this monster prime mover just ask.

I'm not such a Famo fan, but if you have aon the SdKfz 10 (based on the 251 chassis) I'd be well interesed.

hey cromwell,
the SdKfz10 is the 250 and the Sdkfz11 is the 251

I think a little gallery, posted on this site of our work, if Jim is cool with that.
I've just completed an engine part that took 12 scratchbuilt items. This is taking longer than planned....
If interested post back.

Still waiting on mine Aber set to start mine Famo with the Bildstiencrane this one I will super detailled :-)

Yea, count me in. I may be slow on the photos as I have no digital. I'm also pretty much going to build mine OOTB.... it'll be a nice comparison...

What do you all think would be a reasonable time-frame, bearing in mind work etc....
We should ask Jim if he will post the pictures together on a board in this site.

If you guys need anything just ask..... :-)

Ronald,
Gotta say that i love your Bergepanther. OUTSTANDING.....

First weekend in January? Do we have any other takers at this point?
Do you have any color photos of the undercarriage.... transmission etc?

Will try to send some pictures for you, but will have to be sunday.
I can recommend the Nuts and Bolts Vol.12 for pictures but B&W.
January sounds ok.

Sunday is fine. I just got the NB book this week. $30 is a lot for a glorified magazine, BUT it is a treasure trove of photos on the FAMO, Fish a few more were in color....

The quickest way to share build photos is to use the Armorama MSN site. I can set up easy parent links that take you to all the armor group-builds also.

I can publish pics here too. It just takes longer to get them processed and uploaded.

Cheers,
Jim

Hi,

For January count on me for a FAMO group build.

Thanx Jim. What a result. Will post back later...gotta take the wife shopping..booooo

Found a great new way to make metal look like metal.....
Will make an article and post it on this site.
:-)

Count me in also. I am just finishing one of the beasts. I'll try and get some pics.
How about 251's?

Hey guys,
I should have a digital camera by the end of the week. So I'll have photo capability soon. Sounds like Tuga may not get to his until January. Any thoughts on pushing it back a little further for him? Tuga, your thoughts?

If jan is for starting date, then I am in too. If it's the complete date, then I have no time whatsoever.

OK LET'S THEN SAY MARCH FOR THE COMPLETED ARTICLE.
A few of you have just started or are waiting for things to arrive.
Does this then meet with approval??
If not send some suggested dates, so we can post as a group.

Since I am working on so many kits now, 2 armor, 1 ship, so I would naturally prefer this to be start as late as possible, maybe Dec. or Next Jan, but don't want to hold back anyone, if you guys elect to start earlier, then I will join next time.

Since it's a big project, can we have longer time frame, say about 4 to 6 months? I assume we are building the Famo with trailer, right?

Can you build any type of Famo??? still waithing for the etching and mine other famo with trailer is almost ready

I've started, and have no problem if you other guys start a little later, well just submit all our completed stuff about the same time. Like I told Desert Fox, have fun, this a hobby after all!!

Good Luck Guys!!!

OK January to start it is then. We should try to be ready by March. That should give everyone ample opportunity. YES you can build any FAMO, even with the Bilstein Crane if you want Ronald...lol
Stay in touch with progress guys.

I am in then..... Now need to get a Famo for myself, and also a nice Pz III J to sit on it maybe.......
