Can anyone tell me what type of haftrack is used in the dirty dozen at in the last scene, i can not tell.
this might be a cool idea: too have a group build where the subject is anything, as long as it is dirty. do your best to make it weathered, and or covered in mud. Sound like any fun? useing models from other group builds is acceptable.
any one Interested?
I want to say a Famo 18t halftrack, not sure I’m right though. Another G.B.? It’s sounds intriquing, but I’ll have to defer. Should get some interest though.
Don’t know about the movie. If this gets going and you allow builds from other GB’s then I could join this one. How muddy are we talking here??? I already planned on putting lots of red dirt and dust on my Vietnam T-54 in the Russian GB.
just as long as it looks dirty
Thats cool. There aren’t many techique group builds going on so this is a good one. You should edit the topic title to reflect this is a possible group build now. Something like “Dirty Dozen GB: Armor Weathering”. Just a suggestion.
Wow I thought I was the only one that has ever seen that movie. We must be pretty old. Naw I’ just 31 so…
actually im 15, and i love the movie
the one going away from the house, over the bridge. it is a FAMO
Sonds like a neat idea, especially since the germans often covered ther vehicles in mud to blend in.
i like muddy, dirty and weathered to death, it may not reflect how they are in real life but its how i imagine a tank to be in my mind [:)] i might be up for it
It is a FAMO and Tamiya makes a kit of it. I don’t know if anyone else makes a kit but its big and expensive (usually)
Sounds cool. Can I be a morale officer? Not many of my current builds will be very dirty, however I model a fair bit of Russian front stuff, so…
Cheers,
John
Don’t you believe it Biffa, even modern AFV’s that are not involved in active service attract mud, dirt, grease, petrol and every other type of stain like nothing else on earth. Dirt and dust particularly get into every crevice and crack inside and out of the vehicle. Muddy or dirty boots stomp all over the place, so muddy, dirty and weathered to death is spot on. BTW, don’t forget the dried mud caked on to the running gear which you will always see in real life but rarely in a model.
Cheers
A GB where the only requirement is that the vehicle is as dirty and run down as possible? If it happens, I am SO in.
Tamiya’s FAMO is the only kit of the vehicle that I know of, and in concurrence with Steve, yes it is expensive
I think revell also makes one in 1/72 or they are releasing it soon.
Comrad maybe you should join the Russian GB… start anytime this year… http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34395
Im thinking this mightbe a really cool badge what do you guys think?
I like it and already put it into my 330x200 badge collection (new rules [:0]).
It’s in the upper left corner.
Yeah that looks cool. I’d think i might want to join since it can be from other group builds. Not sure though.
The badge does look really cool, but I think we’ll have to size it down. I think for this build I’m going for a Sdkfz 251 in the russian spring. mmmmm this is going to be fun!
