The OFFICIAL Panzer III and Its Variants GB

Carl- Great shot of your baby!  I love her... more than you and I think.  I will update the completed roster in a minute.

Anthony- Yes, it is located on very first page maybe second page by now.  I have added best pic of each completed build.  I definitely plan to post all best pictures when GB ends in June.  Of course you can post your pictures in Armor if you want.  I think you should so they can see more of it because I will only post one pic per build depending on the size of our GB.  What do you think?

Tojo thanks .

The gallery of finished models is on page one of this thread , about 3-4 items down .

Shellback,fantastic finish,great attention to detail.

Andy,where is this gallery where the finish pics are gonna be displayed? Is that for the future,or is it up somewhere now?

Andy , use this pic on page one .

Greg ...............

Armor86 and Greg,,,,    you guys are moving right along,,  both look great!

Hey Greg!  Good having you back!  Your Bergpanzer looks great... looks almost completed.  The tracks fit very well.  Sorry about the missing wheel... I am very positive I have plenty of spare wheels if you want me to mail you one or two.   The Imperial kit you gave me probably comes with many spare wheels. LOL

By looking at the background in your picture, I see now snow, huh?  Hope that was worth it despite the Jack Russel incident! 

                                Greetings all,very nice builds by all. I would like to comment on each and every one but that makes for a very long post.So I will convey my comments to everyone as a group.The skill and level of detailing just keeps getting better and better.Some of the weathering and final finishes are incredible.With my comments made I will now update.

                                Some of you know that my Bergpanzer will be towing an Ausf. N,this is the model I worked a bit this past weekend,the tracks that is. The Dragon Smart Kits are a nice addition to any collection ,if you don't mind the myriad of parts and the awful instructions. Without delay here are the pics.

                                      As you may notice there is a roadwheel missing. My cousin and his Jack Russel were by for a beer and the little shyster somehow got hold of one or more, as I found more than one on the carpet, and consumed one of them. The following search of the entire room netted only 11 of twelve pair. And I was not enthused about following the bugger around the yard if you know what I mean. With that I will say good day and happy modeling to all, oh and as always any comments and questions are welcome.

ARMOR86 - Nice seeing you back at the bench and with such a nice update   Hope your wife feels better and things get back to normal quickly.

The electric wiring is a nice addition.  It adds a lot to the front IMO.  Well done.  The rest of the build looks nice and clean and looks like it's almost ready for paint.  Will look for your next update.

Good to see your able to revisit here with an update 86 .

It is great having you back Armor86!  Back surgery?  I am glad you took a good care of your wife... hope she is doing OK now.  I had major neck surgery three years ago and I understand what is happening. 

Your Panzer is looking real good!  Nice touch by adding electric cables to the front lamps.

Hinsky , thanks Didnt you ask me for some info on how i made the box a few weeks ago ?

Hi guys,

I just thought that I'd drop in to see what's going on.

It's all looking good - there's some very nice armour pieces and figures too on the go here!

Shellback - that Panzer of yours is just stunning. Top work sir! It certainly turned my head buddy

Keep the updates coming chaps!

All the best,

Ben

Anthony,,,   very nicely done           the III looks great and the figures certainly compliment the build !  A+

ANTHONY - Nice touch with the figures.  Adds so much to a build, brings life to it, and they are well done.  Still like that extra track and road wheels

Andy ........... ..........+ 10 now ?

Anthony- Sure!  This is my favorite shot of your Panzer and the crew.

I am going to update the completed list in a minute or two depending on the 49ers-Ravens game.  Like I said earlier it was great having you aboard and please do come back and visit us to make sure those guys behave. 

Andy,if you will call it done for me,the Panzer is complete,just so I don't have to drag the camera  out for more pics of a small map in one figures hand.

Thanks,Anthony

Carl- Your convoy light looks spot on now!  Looking great buddy... that's another  .

Anthony- Your figures look great!   Those figures are pretty popular.  I believe it is the third or fourth time I have seen those figures set in 2-3 months.  It has been a great pleasure having you here with us.  Just let us know when you are ready to call it done after adding a map. 

This is going to be great... two more Panzers will be added to the completed list anytime soon.

Hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving!

Tojo , It looks even better now due to the weathering .

Good to read the formation light looks ok . I stripped if . Painted MM aluminum non buff , then a couple of washes with a mixture of thinned Tamiya field blue and royal blue . Then a coat of Krylon Matt .

I added the figures,the only thing is I have to make a map for the general's hand,nice campaign,thanks for the kind words and encouragement

Shellback,looks fantastic,even down to the wood crate the detail is great.

Shellback

I think this is pretty close guys .

 

 

Shell, you are a master at the attention to detail It looks like there is nothing you can not cure with a couple of washes.

Agree, think your right on.  Still has the blue tint but looks like it's TURNED OFF and dirty

Hey Bill i wasnt sure how much of the blue was showing up in the above pic , good to know that it came out blue enough for you to see it . i was thinking it mght need another blue - gray wash but it must be ok if you can see it .

Indeed Carl,   thanks again

And you nailed it,,,  the lights look spot on......   I especially like how you've toned the blue one

I think this is pretty close guys .

Bill , good to see those G.B. Badges my friend ...................

Andy its Stik thats going to the USC-UCLA game ..........not me my friend .

Those figures are looking super . ......

Andy Andy,,  no worries at all,,,,,,,,,  totally understand my friend
