Task Force Hiram - Tank Pics
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, May 23, 2004 1:07 PM
Here are my four tanks. Enjoy!!

Please note - The Sherman was built by my girlfriend's father. He was an excellent modeler and better than I will ever be. I built the rest and painted the Stuart and Panther. My lovely and gifted girlfriend painted the Tiger.

I just finished the basepaint on an M3 Lee and will share that with you all at a later date. Yes, I know my skills aren't even close to any of yours, but I try and I enjoy trying.

You can't tease us with one photo.......we need more. Nice builds, though I do question a few decal placements on the Tiger and Jagdpanther.

Tigerman's right, we need more pics. Looks good from here, but your just wetting our whistles....What are the scales here, is the Jadg 1/16 or the others 1/72?

MORE PICS PLEASE Big Smile [:D]
Looks great.

Hmm ausf if the Tiger is from Tamiya it must be 1/35 ( it could also be 1/25 or 1/16 but I don't think so ) I believe the Jagdpanther is 1/25........I think I have that one somewhere in my to-do-pile.

Sorry folks, I'm on a dial up modem and uploading pics to my girlfriend's website so they can be hosted takes quite a while.

the JagdPanther is 1/25, the Tiger et al are 1/35

I had no clue as to how to photograph them really. This is my first attempt at photographing models, so its all a new experience for me. Thanks for the kind comments.

Okay, I'm creating a new website on the space that Earthlink gave us. I'll provide a link when I'm finished.

http://home.earthlink.net/~moraine_sedai/hiramsarmorpics/index.html

Edit: It's my first webpage, so please be patient. I've been cursed with a large head but have a small brain.

If you have any tips, don't hesitate to be harsh with me.

The Panther is an Academy 1/25th RC tank but I left the motor out. I didn't like the idea of having that long cord coming out of the tank. I received both German tanks for Christmas after dropping many, many hints about how excited I get about tanks. They thought it would be safer than just getting me yet another stick to hit myself in the head with. Yes, I am only worth bludgeoning and eviscerating.

Okay, gentlemen!!

Because of you all, I now have a functional website with pictures. If you have any advice about the models or the website, please help. Thank you for your support.
