Hey please everyone that is in the student group build post here what your doing remember

BRandenus Pimpus

P.S. Were not starting it until after the holidays.
Thanks Brandenus Pimpus

I have already roughed in an interior of the drivers compartment and added the battery box from a verlinden set that Brent Sauer gave me (Thanks, Brent). I am starting to ad in the rest of the hull bulkheads and will be starting the detailing soon. I have gotten a bunch of pictures from Brents books and might have the opportunity to go down and photograph a real Abrams sometime in the next month or so. Special requests might be taken, if your nice to me. How is everyone else doing? I hope someone has the opportunity to check out Legends accessory for the M1. I am wondering how it is.

Rob

I've got the M3 "Honey" and accompanying PE set from Eduard on the way.

Andrew you and rob are the only people other than me.
Wow I thought there were more
Brandenus Pimpus

Brandenus Pimpus

Like, Andy said, there will be more. Just be patient. You aught to see the interior I'm doing, even my wife was impressed.
Rob

I sure am missing something here.....I didn't know there was a student group build going on. I am a student too dudes..... What are the rules for this (begin date, end date, is this a campaign, contest...etc)?

Depending on the dates I will be able to join also. I'll either build a Trumps M1A1 Abrams or an Italeri Crusader Mk.II.

So, we are allowed right? And if so, please remind us again of the starting date. I may want to give the Pz IV D or an Pz IV F1 converted to an Pz IV F2 a shot.

We are going for desert storm or north africa campaign allied vehicles. The start date is january and we're trying to finish by april. I am getting a head start because I won't be able to work on it for two weeks after saturday. I will miss you guys by the way. I will try and check in from time to time, but no gaurentees.

Rob

Robo is right davidus where only doing allied vehicles no hitler death traps heheheh
Davidus I know your a pimp and all and all you do is german armor but y not say what the hell and do an allied tank
Brandenus Pimpus

Then, Maybe I will do an allied stuff, give me sometimes to pound on it. Maybe I do a captured Pz II in allied marking....

I wasn't aware that elderly people (Dave) were allowed in the student group build. If he does somehow get in, he should be made to build an allied vehicle. Sorry General
Andrew

Younger generation nowadays has no respect to elderlies!

Okay, if I decided to get in, I will do an allied stuff. (though you know it's boring)

Dave is a fellow pig i have to let him in the group build but he has to do an allied tank.
Brandenus Pimpus

Does it have to be tracked?

Nah as long as it is afrcia campain or desert stor and allied

Ok......I am in! I will build the Italeri Crusader Mk.II. I should be able to start building right after X-MAS. This will be the first British tank I ever put together.

So we should have enough time to do good models
Brandenus Pimpus

I'm still in... with an Abrams.

Will have to buy it myself though... I'm pretty sure I won't be getting any models for Christmas this year. However - I did notice a decent sized box from MicroMark on our front porch the other day. :-)

YodaMan

Okay I will do either a valentine or a crusader then? By the way, are we allowed to do a destoryed AFV? because this will get over my not-building-AFRIKA-KORP guilt. #:-)



And as a General, are you sure I cannot be cutted some slack and let me do a German one?

I am now sorted i am going to do hasegawas 1/72 M3 grant Mk1 british
