I started this recently,it's going good so far.I would say that it's similar to Dragon kits in detail,the plastic might be a little softer,and some of the attachment points are pretty thick,but all in all it's going wellIt's not gonna be a full blog,but I'll post some updates
How are those tracks?
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

stikpusher How are those tracks?
Very nice,came from Poland in about a week,total $29.00 you click them together by pressing down with tweezers last links are open so they get wired or pinned.whole run took about 20 min,there are videos online.
Ohhh, that looks good Tojo! Bought my first Border model a couple months ago but haven't built one yet. Looks good!

Here are shots with the completed turret,the armor was slightly warped.I straightened it with some warm water.Everything is done except for extra tracks and small small bits.

Roadwheel garden planted,and shurzen assembled and primed.
I did a little bit over years weekend got the basecoat down.
Wow great progress. Looking really good Tony. Those tracks are interesting.
Thanks,
John
Looking real good Tony! The schurzen make a Panzer IV look so much more imposing.
She's lookin' good! Any new updates Tojo?
Been plugging along with this one,here's how far along I am,camo and some basic weathering,started a little on the flat bed also,nicer weather less time at the bench.Schurzen is primed a ready to go also.
Looks impressive Tojo, nice work on the camo! Looking forward to the weathering and other fun stuff!
Very nice! I've been tempted to give Border Models a try.

On deck: Who knows!
Very nice work on the camo. I'm looking forward to the tracks and schurzen to be attached. This looks good, so far.
Mopar Madness Very nice! I've been tempted to give Border Models a try.
Thanks everyone,I believe Border is associated with Takom,the sprues are much like their kits.
Just a small update:with the vehicle all but done except for the schurzen plates,I got to work on the flat car,pretty complicated,all the girder work is mind numbing and it really won't be visible underneath but it's progressing.
Looks good Tojo! You know what the underside detail is there for right???
For some judge at a con to pick the darn thing up to see if you detailed it where it would never be seen......
Looks good, the detail looks pretty decent. Is the shurzen quite thick or is it fairly realistictly thin?
Panzer Joe Looks good, the detail looks pretty decent. Is the shurzen quite thick or is it fairly realistictly thin?
It's thin,not plastic but metal,update pics soon
Cool Tank, Tony!
Your camo sure sets it off. If I ever build armor again, I know who to bother for camo lessons.
Looks like a fun kit too. Camo looks sharp.
Apprentice rivet counter.
I'm called the tank portion of this build complete,making good progress on the flat car and rail bed.Thanks for the nice words of encouragement.
Looks awesome Tojo! The camo came out perfect!!!
I'm going to have to look at one too. I need a knocked-out Panzer IV to go with my T-34s...
Thank you guys
Well,after finishing the tank,I finally got the railcar car assembled,primed,and ready to paint.It had a lot of detail,unfortunately,a lot was underneath.I still need to assemble the track bed.I am going to put this aside for now and start up a Panther that I'm building for a group build I'm hosting over on MSC
Thanks for looking
Looks good Tojo! Looking forward to seeing how you paint it. Are you going with a wooden bed for the car?
Gamera Looks good Tojo! Looking forward to seeing how you paint it. Are you going with a wooden bed for the car?
Yes sir,that's the plan
Cool! Looking forward to seeing how you do it.
I wish somebody would make a rail car woth the double-axle bogies most often seen for panzer transport.
That 25 tonne PzKfz IV is a lot of weight to put on just the four wheels (6250KG per wheel).
Mind, just a conversion bogie would make me happy.
Yeah, Trumpy did the three-axle schwerer Platformwagon, but, that's more for the pigger Panzers. And, it's mostly out-of-stock, too.
What do you guys think of this small scene,I had these three figures leftover from a Dragon Actung Jabo set,thought they could add a little interest to the scene.
