Hi, figured I’d clarify my project from the other thread… I’m doing the Tamiya Initial Tiger I with the Voyager PE set, stowage from the Tamiya stowage set, and a whole complement of Tamiya figures: all four crew members and some infantry moivng alongside… I did Tiger 332 on the Russian front, with extra details added as per the relatively complete photos of the tank in Tigers in Combat I, and I’m going to do the terrain like the picture a few pages earlier of a Tiger I from the same group (503) crossing a road during a quiet period while a bunch of infatrymen mill around alongside.
The tank is almost done, working on the tracks now (which I saved for last) then finish installing the outer set of wheels, and then finish assembling and painting the figures, and figuing out how to make the terrain.
I added the Badge to the first post. I have no preference if you wish to use it now or wait until you are done. I would just ask that you download the image to your own server instead fo linking to site for the server. Thanks.
I got my VW staff car in the post today so should be getting started on it pretty soon.There’s not alot to the kit so I’m going to be putting it in a dio.
I could’nt find a Kubel in stock so I also bought the Schwimmwagen and might try and incorperate that into my dio,I’ll be keeping an eye on your build Rooster.
waikong, put me in for a KV-1 also. Started it last night and it’s almost done already! Hard to believe it only took three hours to assemble the thing. These Tamiya kits are sweet little monotony breakers.
hkshooter, done. You are fast! These kits build much faster than my usual aircrafts, but 3 hrs? Maybe you should build 2 or 3 more! I’ve started my Sherman, but it’ll take more than 3 hrs for me.
These usually fly for me. This one I’ve done a little differently because of circumstances. I completely finished the contruction on this one prior to painting. The painting I will probably have about three more hours in so the total time is likely to be six or so hours. I hope I’ll be able to paint it suitably while it’s completely together. Going to be interesting.
Thanks, I’ve got this 6-wheeled combat vehicle that is 1/48 scale but does not fit into most traditional group build genres. I thought it would be a good vehicle to build for this GB.
It was part of a Japanese anime mecha series. That vehicle was originally called the JRS Native Dancer. Revell imported several series of Japanese anime models and labeled them all “Robotech”. This was one of the few non-giant robot kits and was issued in an off-scale compared to the rest of the series.
It is a neat 6-wheeled ATV that has a large cannon on top and two 4-shot rocket pods. Nimble enough to avoid Godzilla’s blasts but has a big enough blast to make him look for easier prey.
Sorry to disappoint you Waikong but the Tamiya kit I’m doing is actually a T26E3 (forerunner to the M26 Pershing) regardless of what the box says. I’m doing the build as a vehicle from the 3AD operating in Cologne 1945.
