But Georgie had those sweet six shooters... and was a crack shot with the pistol.

I'll take Patton too.  But Skorzeny does have a cool scar.

SUPERFIGHT 1944!  THE CAGE MATCH OF THE 20th CENTURY!

George "Blood and Guts" Patton

VERSUS OTTO "SCARFACE" SKORZENY!

5th ID was part of Patton's 3rd Army... Shorzeny does not have a chance...

Skorzeny's up to his old tricks.

Oh I hope not...

Spies, perhaps?

Interesting... the Heer 711th Infantry Division has the same insignia as the US 5th Infantry Division, a four sided red diamond.

Bish: please add a Horch 108 Typ 1a (Tamiya 1/35) to my build list.  I picked one up for $15.50(incl s/h) and it arrived today.  It'll be marked as 711.Infantriedivision. (en.wikipedia.org/.../711th_Infantry_Division_(Wehrmacht)) Hopefully, {crossing fingers} I'll have it completed this weekend.

Obi Wan?  I thought you were Yoda.

Yeah but Vader did not know he had both of them for teachers...

The SiG is looking good. Dont beat yourself up on the freehand camo. After all the real things were done in the filed, under less than ideal conditions, likely by some Private who would rather have been doing something else.

That's looking great!  

SHERMAN and TIGER look great.

update on 150mm howitzer. first pic is painted prewash. my first freehand airbrush and not all that great. may have to get a fine needle if i am going to do more of this. or at least practice A LOT. second and third pic show one wheel with oil pin wash and the other without. last 2 pics are the entire cannon. think i will try doc o'brien's washes for this one as i have 2 sets.

Obi Wan?  I thought you were Yoda.

You have learned much young one... Obi Wan has taught you well... ;-)

Thanks, jibber!  BISH!  I found a white box!   I call this one, "Tank on white box in front of white door."  Hey, I'm trying.   Really calling this done now.  Promise.

No mistake at all jibber. I was doing my photo's that way for years until someone pointed it out. I find taking good pics much harder than building the model. But there have been some good tutorials on here about taking good model pics which I have found very useful

Duly noted.  Am looking around here for something white and not finding anything . . .

BB, personally I like the third pic. It shows the nice shading, accents, stowage, tracking and the figure. I think it's a great build.

Will do, I was more worried about lighting than setting. My mistake.

Ok BB, done.

BB & Jibber, thanks for much for taking part in the GB and getting us off to a great start. I do hope you guys will stick around, and maybe even join in with more builds if you have the time. I know there's a lot of great GB's going on at the moment, so I am sure we will see more of you guys on some of those.

One suggestion for the both of you if I may. For your photo's, especially those of your completed builds, I would suggest a plain background, a piece of blue or white card is ideal. I only started doing this myself at the end of last year. But it can make a real difference to your pics if there are no distractions in the background.

This one's done!  Finally.

Bish - Please use whichever picture you think is best as the final one.

I've spent some time trying to find a tank crew stationed at these positions in the photo. Once I do I have a good idea for a dio. Thanks for the reviews.

BB, no worries, I will wait out for some more pics.

jibber, that looks amazing. I am glad the photo was of some use. I think you have that pretty spot on. Now I wonder who will do his Dio first. Mine has been waiting 5 years now. I'll add a pic to the front page now.

I need to get cracking on my P-38 & P 47 to bomb your tank Jibber LOL

Great job Jib. Looks very real.

Terrific job there Jibber, she looks pretty darn close to the photo!

Very cool, jibber!
