yes sorry DML 1/35 M4a4 in Soviet attire. and yes my first GB

to your first GB, mpkev31b!!!!

Thanks for getting back to me on the info about your build.

If you have any questions at all about this GB, don't be hesitant to ask me or any other fellow GB member. I'll be more then willing to answer whatever you throw my way. Only one thing you got to remember, have fun, this isn't a rivet-counting competion where you have to be perfect.

Some sources suggest that at least some of the Corsairs supplied to Britain through Lend-Lease were the "F4U-4B," plus that particular Corsair is known as the Lend-Lease version. So that's good enough for me, the F4U-4B Corsair does qualify for this GB. Let me know if you want in on this GB, Glamdring.

Sure why not, I need a change of pace from armor subjects.  I'll do the Academy 1/48 version of the corsair.

I wish I could find a ship to do, but available subjects are a bit sparse and pricey....

Well it is 11:31 PM 12/31/08 and here is what I will start to build on 1/1/09 just after the ball drops  for the New Year. The Tamiya 1/48 M-10 Wolverine. Hope everyone is having a good New Years if you are partying. Me I will be sitting at the bench waiting on that ball to drop. I was going to go to the Waffle House for a midnight breakfrast as I had posted eairlier but the wife decided not to go. So to the bench I go!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!!

Great to have you aboard, Glamdring!!! Updating roster right now.

*10:48 here in the Chicagoland. Finishing up my SU-76M for the Urban Armor GB that ends today. It's coming right down to the wire and I still have to do pastels. Yikes! Gotta run! Be back later tonight.*

It just hit New Year's here in the Chicagoland. I'd like to wish everyone the best of luck in 2009!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Enjoy the pic.

Happy New Years

Just finished working on road wheels for tonight. Need to crash can't see to well right now.

           Happy New Year!

 It is time to start my first group build. Looking forward to my m-16 motor gun carrier. I hope this year is better than 08.

"Hello all" I know I have shown you all what I'm going to work on. But I think it would be good to show that I have not started my kit as well.

From reading up on the build of the US truck version(1940s Studebaker cab or GMC)that this kit didn't have in it. I see that I need to do a lot of scratch-building. To the cab,fuel cell,front and rear fenders and mabe I may modifiy the running boards. So you see I have a lot to change to come up with the right WWII version. So unlike all my old posts in "08" I'm going to keep my work shots to a minimum so I can get this project done. (All that up loading time) can best be used in building.

Looks like you'll have your work cut out, but your builds always turn out great. Just make sure you still post WIP pics even if you keep them to a minimum, because I know that I want to see them.

Here's pics of my kit, the 1/35 Zvezda M-3 Scout Car, had it in my stash for a while now. The molding looks quite good with minimal flash, so I'm expecting this build to be quite intresting and fun.

I have opened the box for my Lend Lease Sherman and here's the contents.

Unfortunatly the decals are missing but with luck I will be able to scrounge them from some place.

If not I have a few stand by kits I can do. next in line is a Brewster Buffalo. Also a Matchbox kit.

All the best.

Yep, you can start building and zimming to your heart's desire. And as you can tell some members of this GB could barely wait and started as soon as it hit midnight on Dec 31st.

 Hey mg.mikael,

 Just recieved a UPS shipment with "DUKW Food". Still waiting on one more parcel. Will be joining in ASAP.

 Looking forward to updates.

You're killin' me Mobious! These little update posts are such teasers. Their makin' me real anxious to see some pics and WIP posts of your DUKW 353.

 Hey mg.mikael, I just finished up a Camel, looking forward to starting on the DUKW. I hate to start without all the pieces to the puzzle. Will get a pic of what I got so far up when the bat is charged for my camera. I've got this uneasy feeling that it may be sometime before I see the PE I'd ordered for this one. May have to wing it, unless my "winging it" priviledges have been revoked?

 Mobious

Hey guys,You can tell where I started by the bottom picture!! Well I have been busy for the last four day between all the interruptions. So here is where I started and where I am at on my M-10 Wolverine. I have most of the sub assemblies done. I did have to fix two of the bogies as I had put the return roller/skid pieces in backwards but not too bad to fix just frustrating. I have done some painting,  but I will be airbrushing the interior tomorrow and the exterior.  Any and all comments welcomed.

Jeff

ruddratt: Sounds like your making great progress. Can't wait to see those pics!

Mobious: No worries, I'm sure that PE you're waiting on will arrive soon enough. But if you feel that you have to wing it, wing it.

Bushi: Looks like your makin' good progress, I can't even tell you're having any problems. You be done before I start! I'm currently working on a tiny 1/100 Tamiya Messerschmitt ME 163B for another GB, and all I have left to do is touching it up and weathering. So I want to finish that build before I start my scout car for this build.

Thanks mg.mikael, I am surprised how well it is going. I am trying not to hurry to quick so I don't make any mistakes. I also sign up for dupes's 1000 Roadwheel GB and just got the DML DAK Pz, Kwpf. IV Ausf F1 for that. I hope I have not bitten of more than I can chew LOL. I still have to finish my StuG too. I only have room for one at a time.

To eveyone who has posted so far the builds look Great.

Jeff

Hello? Anybody out there?

Yeesh, this thread has been quiet lately, I haven't been able to start my M-3 Scout Car yet because this weeks been terribly busy so far. But that doesn't have to stop others from postin' stuff. So that said, where is everyone? We have 30 GB members and it's dead silent.

I'm planning to start my build as soon as I finish my su-100 wich is prety close.

I'll have some more pics up in a day or so, I have hit a slow spot.

Jeff

Hey mg.mikael, still waiting... I figure I'll wait a couple more weeks, If I don't the PE will arrive 2 days after I finish and I'll be stuck holding PE for a DUKW. That will be the last time I order anything from those knuckleheads! I'll be sticking with my regulars, very dependable and very quick. Looking forward to progress pics from all.

 Mobious

good start everyone! and happy new year :)
