                        Marder pics
                        Posted by styrene on Monday, April 5, 2004 6:48 AM
                        OK, here's my first attempt at posting pictures on the forum....

                        This is Tamiya's 1/35 Marder III. I built it straight OOB. The only things I did was to box in underneath the shell storage area with sheet styrene so you can't see down into the hull. Drilled out the machine gun barrel, and gun cleaning tubes, and closed up the rear of the smoke discharger box located under the muffler/exhaust.

                        Hope you guys like it OK. It took first place in its category at the 2002 IPMS Nationals.Blush [:I]

                        Great build Gip!
                        Although you don't need my humble opinion when compared to the FIRST PLACE qualification you received. Congratulations!
                        Glad to see something new to accompany your valuable safety contributions.

                        Outstanding work Gip. Well deserved.

                        In an excellent build, I particularly like your work on the muffler and the seat on the side. TerrificStuff.

                        Erick,
                        No bolts or rivets were harmed (or added) in the making of this kit--otherwise it would no longer be OOB!

                        Great looking Marder Gip. I have been thinking of adding the back to the box on my Marder to. Did'nt think of it while I was building it of coarse.

                        Styrene, that's great ! Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Excellent job with drybrushing. Gotta love older tanks w/all their bolts, they are great for that ! Great paint job as well.



                        Nice job

                        A great big Thank You for all the positive comments. This kit is so good, it doesn't require a lot of work to make it look great.

                        I would like to thank my friend, MikeV, for helping me get the pics on Ron's site.

                        Am hoping to get some pics of my '88' up on the forum a little later.

                        Once again, thanks everyone. You guys are the greatest.
