Re: WBill's #100

This may seem like a dumb question but, Bill, do you like DML kits? Confused [%-)] Wink [;)]

 

 

All joking aside, that is a good list for sure. There are a few(that means a lot) of interesting kits that I'm sure would make a memorable #100.

Re: WBill's #100
I know what kit I'd like to see you build, Bill.  Probably something you never even thought of doing.  How about a M1 Abrams??

Re: WBill's #100

DML does occupy a prominent place in the inventory but only because I have more of their kits unbuilt than any other manufacturer. In terms of built kits the ratio's not quite as heavy but DML still occupies the lion's share. That's down more to the fact of what DML creates and sells than anything else I guess. Smile [:)]

It would be interesting but modern armor is not something that I get too excited about. That's one of the reasons I'm hesitant to commit now to anything specific beyond what's on the list because if a build feels like a "chore" it becomes a lot harder to stay motivated and stick with it. Everything on the list will eventually get built but only when the stars align and my interest level matches I guess. Propeller [8-]

Re: WBill's #100

YIKES!  My laptop crashed while it was downloading your inventory list! 

I remember reading somewhere in the forums that you are a big fan of Pzkpfw III... because building your 100th model will be very special.  You should make it into your favorite tank and it has to be loaded with all AM kits available in the market. LOL  Maybe you can list all of your Pzkpfw III kits and let us vote as I see you have plenty...

Sorry to say this... I will be following your forums like a stalker for next few months!  Big Smile [:D]

Re: WBill's #100

Andy,,

My list is actually pretty modest by comparison to some...I know there are many out there with kits numbering in the hundreds and, sometimes, thousands! The Pz III family is indeed one of my favorites right behind the 38t family. Virtually all of the kits on the list have accompanying AM stuff already on hand...I probably would not go out and buy additional for most of them as their key areas have already been addressed. I'm not a fan of adding AM just to have it (and I know that's not what you meant by your suggestion! Wink [;)]), I only use it if I think it will add value to the build and/or address a glaring inaccuracy.

The Pz III family kits in the stash right now are:

Stug III C w/ 7.5cm L/48
Pzkpfw III Ausf H Tauchpanzer
Pzkpfw III Ausf G "Afrika Korps" 
Pzbeobwg. III Ausf H Sdkfz 143
Pzkpfw III Ausf H 
StuG III Ausf F (StuK 40 L/48) Ostketten 
Pzbflswg III Ausf K Sdkfz 267

StuG III Ausf G Early "Smart Kit" 
Pzkpfw III J 2-in-1 Smart Kit
StuG III G w/ Deep Wading Muffler 
StuG III Ausf B Sdkfz 142

Re: WBill's #100

I see you have the Panzer IV Ausf D 3in1 kit on the list of unbuilt kits. but not the Panzer IV Ausf D upgunned so why not do the upgunned version as #100.

Rob,

I had to reconstruct the list using kit instructions (I save all the instructions from completed kits just like I do the spare parts) and photo dates since I started taking pics. I also have all the built kits still on hand, so that helped cross-check too.

For the curious, here's the current inventory list. I have a separate list (won't post it here) of the AM stuff that I also have on hand to go with the different kits. Virtually all of them have at least 1 item or another associated with them depending.

Re: WBill's #100

Hmm, I think the Befehlswagen III K would be a cool subject to model. Is that the one with the dummy gun?

Maybe it's just me, but the long barreled STUG III's make me warm and fuzzy inside.

#100 will definitely be one that's already in the stash. I've heard the horror stories about the mish-mashed up-gunned Pz IV D kit having all kinds of issues due to the combination of "Super" kit and "Smart Kit" parts so am not looking to add that one to the stash anytime soon. Thanks for the suggestion though Mikey! Wink [;)]

Erik, that one actually has a fully functional 5.0cm gun in the turret. It is combined with a Pz IV turret in order to have the room for it and all the radio gear. Definitely a stranger hybrid in that regard. Definitely has potential, especially since I recently did the III-M that is essentially the same kit in the Imperial Series without the K-mods.

Josiah, Edmund, definitely always have a soft spot for the StuGs! The short-barrel ones are actually my favorites, there's just something about that sleek, swept-back look they have that reminds me of the lines of a sports car. Big Smile [:D]
