Still not finished here.. Shortly, tuesday.. :)

As for me, I will be GONE tomorrow till sunday, as I'll be at the fort (Where my diorama will be displayed Sunday) and dragging cannons, getting vehicles in place, tents up, some restoring, setting various items here and there....  Sleeping over at location in tents all weekend. And at sunday at noon, saluteshot with a cannon by me! Wohoo!

ANYONE want ANY pictures? Some more detailed for modeling? I'm for sure we'll get a White M3 scoutcar, GMC truck, M6 postwar truck, Dodge WC52, Willys Jeep, BMW MC (Not sure what type) some German searchlights, PAK 36, Hotchkiss 25mm AA, Biber Submarine, Belgian 370K cannon, German schwere fieldkitchen, Kleine fieldkitchen, Swedish WWII fieldkitchen...  That's just some of the major things. Ofcourse lots of bunkers aswell.

Anyone?

Your soooo lucky Huxy!!!

Some pix could be cool the Hotchkiss 25mm AA sounds pretty cool.

And show us your dio!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted a build up on this. I didn't have a camera. I am kind of sad that i so close to finishing this so early since I haven't had anythaing to do over the break. Right now it is about 95% done(still have to add a little bit more weathering). I know the tanks nuers aaren't correct for the camo sceme, but i didn't want to do the ambush type yet. Here are some pics of it(taken on a digital camera, so they don't do it much justice)

Hope you liked it!

 Thanks Jim! It was freehand using the Iwata eclipse Hp-Cs airbrush that me and my dad share( I usually endup getting more use out of it lol)I still have to woron my dio for it and then I'll be done

For the camo the colors i used were:

%75 tamiya dark yellow/&25 tamiya buff  (base coat)

Testors model master acrylic dark green

Tamiya Red Brown, with a drop off flat red

Cool looking camo Tiger Boy it looks realy good

All right everybody, I have gotten all my stuff together for this dio and here it is!

 My superfancy ( .99 cent ) base,

I got some 1/72 scale german paratrooper figures from mig, 

an old tank comander ( from dad's stash, Shhhh! ) ha ha!

Dragon's 1/72 scale half track with pak 40

and last but not least, Dragon's 1/72 scale tiger ! advice from a friend to get this kit

Hope you guys liked it!! Jim

Ok I made some progess today,

I have put the road wheels together, worked on the lower hull and started to try to damage to zim on the tiger 1

I painted the flesh and preshaded on the tank comander,

I put together the main cannon, the gun cradle and the gun shield for the pak 40

 and, lastly, I have put together painted and installed about half of the interor of the halftrack.

Tell me what you think so I can improve, Jim

Nah, its fine. I actually got it off of here.

Looking good Jim.

I also read somewher that you should use lighter paint coulors on 1/72 armour.

I'm back.. Yeah, pictures will come..

First off, that Jagdtiger is awsome. But staying away from ambush scheme is.. Well, silly. It was the first camo I did with my airbrush. Heck, was even the first thing I did with the airbrush (After trying it for 30 mins on a piece of cardboard).

Jim, you are such a lucky chap! Having all those beautiful vehicles, and the skills (That are better than mine) to make them gorgeous! And your displaybase? Hah.. I envy you for actually being able to BUY a displaystand for .99. If they even SOLD them here, they'd be much more expensive....

Hello!  I'm a friend of Boba.  He told me to tell everyone here that he won't be on for a little bit, as he is having computer problems, but he will be back as soon as he can to update things!

My diorama's wrapping up nicely and i've almost finished it I've finished a tank and 6-10 figs (might repaint 4 of 'em).

BTW: That's a kickass jagd!
