Boba the M113 is no longer on the roster. It is a diorama involving the Panther And Sdkfz 221. The M12 is on its own.
Also I'm am going on a 7 week hiatus this sunday. So Im probably done for now

For updates: could yo guys alert me to any mistakes / ommisions / flat-out dumb things? It's so hard to update a roster when you havn't been around for a while! My bad.

 

Also, I'll be building a humvee w/TOW on top, but I'm thinking of turing it into the transitionary vehicle between humvee and Warthog from Halo. I'm already busy with the suspension. Pics cvoming soon.

 

About these kits, are we still with it on this? Has anyone recieved a kit from someone for a compl;eted build? Again, I have to get back on my feet.

 

(Please correct the roster to the best of your knowledge.Thanks.)

The fact that there are also blocks and tackles thrown in the mix along with dead eyes doesnt help either

The Academy figures aren't the best figures I have ever built but they're not the worst ones. They just require lots of putty

Whoops I forgot to tell you guys the story. So its Normandy pre D-day. The Panther and the 221 are heading to the front line, and have stopped to refuel and rearm. Or its 1943 Russia and the Panther and the 221 have stopped there trip to the front line to take some pictures refuel and rearm at a little workshop.

Hey Guys I took some pictures of what the diorama should look like when it's finished. I still need to finish building the base and purchase some Woodland scenics grasses and Tamyia's earth colour, and possibly some infantry figures to drive the Sdkfz 221.

So any criticsm and comments are welcome.

Looks very good! Like the yellow colour! But you should make it lighter, as mentioned in this scale before...

 

What paint was it? Airbrushed on? Rattlecan?? Smile [:)]

Thanks Brian, but like I said, this is only the first basecoat, more will come and those spots will be covered up.
