Hello!!!

Posted by raffrecon on Monday, January 3, 2011 12:34 PM

Hey everyone, my name's Dan. I like to build 1/35 armor and occasionally 1/48 scale. Just wanted to say hello and tell everyone how much knowledge I've gained so far. I have lots of good reference pics for modern US and Soviet vehicles. Mostly from the beginning of the war in Iraq. Once again, thanks to all of you for everything so far and hope to hear from some of you soon.

Dan

Thanks guys! Here are a few pics of a Tamiya 1/48 Marder III that I intend to enter in the OTB category at BUFFCON 28 this April. This is the first 1/48 kit that I have done. Hope you like and would greatly appreciate any criticism.

You need to use a hosting site, most here use photobucket. A bit of a pain in the backside.

Welcome Dan!

You need to join a 3rd party photo host like Photobucket. Once you have the image uploaded click on the IMG link & paste here to have it work.

Everyone would be keen on seeing the pictures (for modeling references) of your tour. Lots are interested in battle damage and unique markings / stowage / conversions.

No, i'm gonna put it in the out of box category. They only allow a simple base and the one figure that came with the kit wasn't that great so I omitted it. thank you.
