Great looking builds.

I can't keep project from this year and last year straight lol. If you pointed to a tank on my shelf I would have a hard time telling you what year I made it . Once I figure that out and take pictures of it all I'll be sure to post pics.

It was a good year,I also did Hasegawa's Raptor and will probably finish a Panther G next week

Good Stuff Tiger

Wow!  Great work guys!  I don't get how you can push out so many awesome looking kits!  It takes me forever to get one done!

The only one that I finished was the AFV Club Stryker MGS seen below.

But I'm hoping tomorrow that I can get the base coat put on the up-armored BMP-3 I'm working on and my M2A2 Bradley ODS is about 90% done.  I'm hoping I can get them both finished by the end of the year.  I'll be off starting this evening until January 3rd.

HAppy Holidays to all! 

and what a year!
the first one of the 2011 building year was my M3 Winter Cammo Bradley

Next what a first time conversion for me with the late Formotions Sgt Oddball Sherman.

then I completed the last of the "M2" series of Bradleys with some extra care to memory detail. My first kit with applied non-slip surface.

Then a couple of old favorites, the Tamiya M113 kits..

And then a Italeri Sherman 76mm was built..

Then I picked up the Tamiya T26E3. I liked this one!

And another early Tamiya Sherman

I got into the Tamiya IDF M1 Sherman

and then the Early Iraq War M113 from Tamiya

I always liked the M60 Series tanks..

I rebuilt the M48A3 again. Something about this kit just grabs me.

And that is it for 2011 folks! Thanks for all the tip and tricks I learned!

my first kit for 2012 is..
The M2A3 conversion of... (I just love me some Bradleys!)

Thanks again and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

(edited out the aircraft)

CB1 I really like that Oddball Sherman,I got the figures also,someday maybe I will do one.

But this ione is for armor only,no planes

That Sherman looks like it might have to slap that pipe on there to make it a 90mm. I bet that would scare the hell out of the Krauts!

Pzkpfw III

This year was much slower for me than past years for many reasons.

Three builds were completed in 2011 (versus 2010's output of 7).

 DML 1/35 Hetzer finished as the "display" model shown to Hitler in early 1944.

DML 1/35 Wirbelwind on a Pz IV-H hull.

Trumpeter 1/35 KV-1 in German service as a Pzkpfw 756(r)

Really good stuff and it's obvious that not everyone has been sharing this year.

T- 26 / BT - 2

BT - 7

Panzerjager I for the Panzerjager GB

MK IV Male for the GB TO END ALL GB's

Stug 42 Ausf G for the Pz III and Variants GB

S35 Somua for the Blitz in the West GB

FT - 17 finished from the years before

This one has a high chance of being finished before the close of the year.  Universal Carrier for the Blitz in the West GB.

Rob,that is some nice interior on the Stug 

The only armor kit that I've completed this year- CyberHobby's No. 112 Factory "Krasnoe Sormovo" T-34/76.  All other builds have been aircraft.

I got 2, but the M7 Priest is not quite done yet.

Tamiya's Cromwell

Dragon's M7 Priest

Nice builds, all!  I promise to get some pics up before the end of the year, short on time at the moment.....

Canadian Coyote

Trump ASLAV with Real Models Coyote conversion

Nice work INTGuy!

Welcome to the forums!

Dear Tigerman and all,

Very good builds all over, it looks as if your 2011 has been a lot more productive then mine
A favourite here must be the Hotchkiss H-39, I don't think I have ever seen that one before.
If finalizing a build in 2011 is good enough I will endeavour to complete my Sherman started in 2009.

Kind Regards
Uto

To everyone who has posted, looks fantastic. Tigerman, especially impressive and productive year. Bill as always, works of art.

As for my year, I started off with the T19 105mm HMC

Then I moved on to the M108 105mm SP Howitzer

Next was the M1200 Armored Knight (conversion of the M1117)

My last build of 2011 was the M1917A4 155mm Howitzer

I thank everyone for looking, This week I should hit the fourm with my M115 8 inch Howitzer WIP. That will be my first finished build for 2012.

Rounds Complete!!

Merry Christmas and great work guys!!!

Already posted my paltry one finished AFV build over on DoogsATX's tread on the General Forum. Hopefully will be finishing my Tamiya Char B1 for Tigerman's Blitz build and a Dragon Jagdpanzer IV Lang that has stalled on account of the commander's hatch going missing. Then I hope to get some armour and fewer aircraft done in 2012.

WOW, and oustanding year for FSM armor.

Here are my armor only builds for the year.  Repeated in another thread but the aircraft has been edited out.

You got that right Marc. Some very nice armour this year. I wish i had been able to build some, really missing the dark side as its been a while.

Some gorgeous work here I dont know how some of you guys can build so many obviously involved kits in a year. I will hold off posting mine until next weekend because I have one or two more that I can possibly finish by then.

agentg and PANZERWAFFE, I like your styles.

I completed only 1 armor build in 2011.

Soviet IT-28 Bridgelayer by ICM 1/35

Greetings, gang. Here's what I've been up to...

Sprue Brothers December sales are great...I stocked up on Shermans and halftracks for the upcoming year. I started off right after Christmas with a DML M4A1 Direct Vision Sherman.

The Sherman seemed lonely, so I gave it a little friend in January, a DML M2A1 Halftrack.

In February, I added some fire support with a DML T19 105mm HMC.

You can never have enough artillery, so I stayed with the 105mm theme with a DML midproduction M7 Priest.

In March, I went back to Shermans with a DML British Sherman Mk.III.

In April, yet another Sherman, a DML M4A3(76)W.

April also saw construction of a basic Tamiya M4 with a Verlinden Crab conversion, replacing the cast resin chain with actual metal links.

In May, I fired up the cloning vats and produced about 30 Canadians, using the DML Commonwealth Infantry 1943 Sicily kit for masters.

The cloning vats stayed active through the summer, producing about three dozen Nepalese Gurkhas, using both the DML British Infantry 1944 Normandy and Monte Cassino kits as masters. You can never have too many Gurkhas.

In August, I returned to this Academy Merkava Mk.IV that I had started about two years ago. I had run out of ball and chain armor for the rear of the turret, and it wasnt until I purchased the Legend turret basket resin set that I had enough to finish.

After a Jeeping vacation in Utah and Colorado in September, I returned to the secret underground weapons laboratory to build the DML 54cm Loki self propelled mortar.

My last finished project was the Trumpeter Fahrgestell ammo loading vehicle. The only problem with this kit is that they only provided 60cm shells and no 54cm shells. Oh well, I guess I gotta build the 60cm version as well...and I may as well make it interesting and get the version with the rail transport.

That's it for 2011. After a very successful buying sprue at Spree Brothers, I have the following in the production queue:

Cyberhobby Maus

DML M4A2 PTO

Panzer MkIV last production

A pair of German gondola rail cars

Trumpeter WR360 locomotive (to pull the 60cm mortar, of course.)

What an impressive lot there Cameraflage.

Hi folks,

This should be an enjoyable thread! I'm starting from January 2011 up to now:

• Tamiya 1/35 JSU-153 with RB Barrel:

• Tamiya 1/35 StuG III Ausf B:

• Tamiya 1/48 StuG III Ausf G with RB Barrel and Millput Zim (my first attempt at Zim):

• Cyber-Hobby 1/35 SIG 33B (Built for Andy Deafpanzers Panzer III GB):

• Tamiya 1/35 Panzer III Ausf N (Built for Deafpanzers Panzer III GB): 

These are the builds on my bench going into 2012 - one wip and one 'restoration' build:

• Dragons Initial Production Tiger I: 

• Tamiya 1/35 Hetzer with RB Barrel (the initial cammo scheme came out pretty badly but I went with it) so I've painted it a simple DY from a Tamiya rattlecan instead of the ab.  New decals are on and two coats of Klear - get ready for a hairspray whitewash (my first ever attempt)! I'll be doing the Whitewash tomorrow.

There are some stunning builds on here chaps!

The build that has really stood out and grabbed me is Wing Nuts Marder III M - I loved this build:

Cheers guys,

Ben

Hinsky- I haven't been 'round this Armor forum for a long while, but I am awed by your JSU-153 and the Pz.III N.

If there was a "Most Improved Since Joining the FSM, Armor" award category,  I'd certainly vote for you.

Well done, sir.  Very well done.
