Saw an identical thread over on Ships and such. So, what’s everybody up to? Currently, I’m finishing off the Revell 1/72 Type VIIC U-Boat (hence visiting the ship site).
When I finish that, I plan on doing some 1/35 interior details for both the M3 Stuart series (trannies, ammo bins, etc.) as well as some for the M109 SP series (howitzer breech assemblies, bulkhead equipment, instrument panels, various details) These will become patterns for RTV molds to cast resin and do a LOT of each vehicle series in the future![:p][:p][:p]
On deck: M3, M3A1, M3A3 full interiors. M108, M109, M109A6 marked to my gun(s).
Very last stages of the Panther. Still struggling along with the Firefly. Then will be turning my attention to my mid pro Tiger I and Elefant. After that, who knows. That will be 3 or 4 years from now at my speed. (I’m also working on several 1/72 -spare time, while the glue dries- kits
Well where to begine I guess here …soooooooooo im building DML’s firefly and T34/85, tamiyas humvee with tow,trumpeters chally2 oplic and still tinkering with tamiyas M1 I bult 7 years ago boy it was in bad shape,as of now.
finishing up a 1/48 Tamiya P-47 Razorback.
then i will finish (finally!?!?) my 1/35 Pzkpfw IV-D
would like to start a Quad & 25 pounder for the towed gun group build.
I’m building AFV Club’s 8" howitzer for the Towed Gun group build. I have a bunch of projects in the works, but they are on hold as I work on this. I started that group build, so blowing it off is probably not a good idea. [:)]
It’s a cool kit.
How’s the U-Boat coming along? Looks promising in the box, although I got a damaged kit that was missing the decals. [:0]
I’m building an Italeri Flak 43 alongside a Revell Demag D7, along with some crew and accessory kits. After that, I have to finish the dio base.
I have no clue what I’ll build after that. Maybe a Pz.Kpf II
Currently working on an M3A1 welded hull mod to the Academy kit. Next up? Don’t rightly know at the moment. Probably something German, PzKpfw III or IV probably, but we’ll see.
Got my jagdtiger interior on hold right now , doing more resaerch on it before I attempt the scratchbuild , while I know more about it than I did a few months ago , I still don’t really know that much about it I am finding . Currently doing a Marder 3 , with full aber detail , coming along slowly but surely , the Aber kit for this little gun is thouroghly complex , tiny parts as usual , its about 50% done . On order is Panther ausf G late, goodies are on order, that should be ready to start very soon , I want to do full interior on that as well with maybe a complete indy workable suspension , the current issue of AFV modeler inspired this , if you have not seen it yet be sure to check it out , that is if you are Panther fan ! After that I would like to at least begin my USS constitution , that I have had for what seems like forever . Time to try my hand at rigging a square rigger ! Oh what fun ! That big 1/72 german sub looks way too kool to pass up , that is a must build for even a hardcore armor man such as myself , what is it something like 3 feet long ? It just keeps selling out everytime a few come in , but I may get my mitts on one yet ![:D] The stug GB is coming up in august , I want to be in on that one as well .
The U-Boat has been a lot of fun. I’m painting it as an early war and having fun making it ‘my’ boat instead of one historically referenced. I had some broken rails and such, which I glued together while they were on the sprue… after that, they were fine.
It’s a BIG kit at a good low price (for its size) and after market details etc. are already coming out for it. I’m sure I’ll make another some day.

I think we’d all enjoy seeing the AFV article! As for myself, a well built model of almost any kind is interesting.
Looks like we all need to quit our jobs and build instead!
I’m working on Tamiya’s Sdkfz 223 for the small AFV build. I am scratchbuilding the interior, which has been quite easy thus far. I am also building Dragon’s IR Panther G OOB, well more or less.
Putting my SiG33 in a dio, as well as finishing off a couple of other displays.
Just started work on Tamiya’s Panther G late #35176. Got a few AM parts and what have you. Looking forward to seeing it with the rest of the gang in the cabinet.
I just finished my SdKfz hanomag 251/1 for the SMall AFV GB. Sonow i am working on a dio for it. This dio will be a big one, and my first. After that its italeris/ 1/72 ac-47 and glider, and a landing craft for the D-Day GB.
