Progress Pics + Surprise

I got my act straight on that picture posting, so I have some progress pics to share.

Tamiya Brummbar -Early-
CMK- resin zimmerit hull - sorry Moses
Eduard PE - some, definetly not all

For this last shot I got BRAND NEW Verlinden figures just released in 1/35. I painted them quick and had to put them in because they were so cool!

I may loose my posting privelidges after this.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. It’s done only in the spirit of admiration and respect. (sorry it was a german tank)

I kid only the people I like, the rest I ignore.

ROTFL!!! Build22!!! [:D] [:D] [:D] I love the new Verlinden figures!!! BTW did you have any trouble fitting the “Shermman” figure in the hatch??? [;)] [:D] [:p]

On a side note the model looks like it’s coming along nicely.[:D]

Eric

I am actually crying… [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D]

Help, …Can’t…breath…laughing…too…hard…
I think I hurt myself.
We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy. What makes it all the better is that it is a German tank.

Build, you win.

Mike

Does this mean they are German Armor fans on the inside [}:)]

This sounds like Breaking news. We need an in depth report!

By the way, what is it that Bill is actually doing behind there [:p]

I would have answered sooner … but I had to clean my Egg McMuffin off of the monitor.

I hurt … from laughing so hard.

Build22 … no privileges lost with this one … I feel honoured … but I still hurt.

I can’t stop laughing.

Oh … by the way … I think there was a model in there somewhere … oh yes … here it is behind a chunk of egg.

Great work on the model so far … and the Zimmerit looks pretty good.

Bill … what are you doing back there???

HYSTERICAL !!!

I thought you guys might like that. It was either that or the cover of “Band of Brothers” DVD but I couldn’t get the pictures small enough.

Erush - the Sherm-man figure is Verlinden # 1857 in your catalog, right near #1856 Tank Girl reading “War & Peace”. And I didn’t have to trim anything off to get him in the hatch he fit pretty good - maybe those Germans had short arms and couldn’t push themselves awy from the table

Erock and SF - that’s how they show it on the model box, although, the way he’s positioned and that smile on his face it does make you wonder?

SF - Sorry I didn’t have Shermans ready to go. But keep an open mind, I thought you looked good in there.

Hysterical, I love the figs. [:D] Oh, the tank is looking great by the way. [^] Shermie looks right at home. Bill looks…well quite happy back there. Ahem. Cough, cough…[B)]

That is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Thank you all for the great laugh. Too bad my wife didn’t get it. Her loss.

Maybe he was just really motivated to get through the hatch. Didn’t anybody realize that the Germans stocked their tanks with full Chinese Buffets?

ROFL…that was awesome Build. Shermie in a Panzer na na na nee poo poo!!! [:D] I love it.

I love the Brummbar…and can’t wait to get it started myself (in about 2 years at my pace). Shermie sent me some awesome line drawings of a multitude of armor, and the Brummbar was one of em. I have the Dragon kit as well as Tamiyas. Not sure if I will go with zim yet or not…(blasphemy!!)

Looks great Build, very nice conversion and that resin hull looks sweet.

Keep em coming…looks like you feel confident enough to post more pics so soon…nice!!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Oh boy this is good!

Well thank you once again Build22, I laughed my way through the afternoon.

By the way, I showed it to my wife too, and she had a great laugh at my expense … I guess that’s love.

Called VLS to try and order the figures … but apparently they’ve sold out … seems they have become quite popular.

P.S. - I still hurt !!!

build22 ROFLMAO!!! Good one! Must…breathe… too… much…laughing!!! Keep going great guns. Looks good.

Hey Shermanfreak, I bought the last two figures on clearance. LOL [:p]

“It is well that war is so terrible, ,est we grow too fond of it.”-R.E.Lee

I too tried to order a Sherm-man figure and they’re sold out with no predicted ship date. It seems that orders have far outstripped the production capabilities due to a resin shortage, or actually due to the amount of resin needed to cast the figure.

They told me they were able to cast one, (build22 got it) and that took their entire years worth of resin stock.[:D] [:D] [;)]

Eric

Actually I might still have that band of brothers shot if I didn’t erase it. I’ll check.

SF,
Thanks for being receptive to a little kidding. Really, it’s great that all these people have this kind of interest and respect for you. I think it shows how many people you have influenced. Thanks for being there.

If you had a picture of your wife we could work her in as part of a diorama.

And I’m putting my Sherm-man up for bid on e-bay, so get in line to bid

Tigerman & Moses - Thanks for the comments.

Moses- I have a Dragon brummbar as well. I’ll compare the two once I get to that one. Yeah, there’s no reservation in posting now.

Already? Sure?
Man, this means I have to scratchbuild one. Ain’t gonna be easy.
[:D][:D][:D]

Seriously now,

Hi Build22, I forgot to mention earlier…nice build. Looks like we’re in for another good one. You brought us much needed laugh, too. You know what could be better than this? A thread dedicated mainly for builds of those guys lucky enough to get that Sherm figure. Just kidding Sherm. (ha-ha-ha-ha)

Anyway thanks for being a good sport, Sherm.

Thanks Dwight,

I will keep you posted

I love it… thanks for the 45 minutes of laughter that you provided me :smiley:

You guys are killing me … with laughter. [:p][:p][:p][:p][:p]

I really appreciate the gift of laughter that this thread has brought to myself and the other members of the Armour Forum.

Build22 - no true picture of you yet hey … coward

Dwight - gonna share your creation with the rest of the guys and gals?

Laugh on everyone … it’s truly a gift.
