Bish -- no worries. As someone who has been way overcommitted too, I quite understand!

Tony -- coming along nicely!

Mike/TB379

Tony: Looking good!

Bish: Sorry to see you go but I understand about taking on too many GBs.

Ammo storage construction sitrep:

Left side yet to do

wayne, I think your PB link is broken.

Mike, I am afraid I am going to have to drop out of this one. I have am changing my build for the Duck Hunter GB and I have way to many others commitments at the moment. I am going to cancel a couple of planned GB I was going to start as well so I can spend more time on the builds I have without struggling to meet deadlines.

So can you take my name of the roster please. I will defiantly keep an eye on the GB as its a great idea.

was reading a GB post in general modeling about committing to a GB and posting more and commenting so....

didn't get as much done as i planned, no surprise, and kinda screwed up the big bins so did some damage control today. will work on turret some today and prime this bunch at the end of the day in the bunker.

working on it now. since i am not opening storage boxes i shold have the 4 major pieces finished and primed today (front 4 wheel suspension and back 4 wheel suspension bothe primed. chassis will be reprimed as i am adding stuff, engine block primed bit have to paint and add engine crap and paint that before installing) still haven't decided on painting may try mixing some hull red or flat brown with some black to get that umberish effect. outer parts will be base coat pale green. suggestions on painting wheeled suspension colors GREATLY appreciated since i have 20 trucks and 18 other warwheels in the bunker stash

How about a  Dana, that's very cool Wayne. I hope you get to it soon I'd love to see that build.

a friend at my col sprgs meeting gave me a hobbyboss DANA for helping with the raffle at nationals. this is great because now i can build the one i am doing OOB and take all the lessons learned and build the new one with all the PE stuff. how cool is that?

Tony: Yah, she's ready to start some carnage!!!

Garzonh: Five parts for each wheel!?! Gee, I've found some AFV Club kits over-engineered but that's crazy! They look good though!

Cliff

and this is why i do warwheels like DANA.

Gamera,

It will need some seam filling, this wheels are making me crazy.

There are 5 different parts for each one, with 14, is just 70 pieces only for the wheels...

I'm still thinking on how to make the cammo, it will be the first one.... gulp....

Garzonh did you ever get a jump start on yours

Tony lee

Sure, I am, see photos above... don't drink too much... 

Right back again boys and girls.

As you can see the M-115 found a home today:

Scratch building those ammo storage bins coming up.

Tony and Garzonh: Those look great guys! Kinda similar design- just the M109 is about fifty years or so more advanced!

Garzonh did you ever get a jump start on yours

Tony lee

OK, so here we go....

This is my current status with the Howitzer...

Howdy Folks

The M-40 conversion to the M-43 starts with building the M-2/M-115 203mm Howitzer(AFV Club donor kit)

We're off and running

Sorry, guys, have been working too hard lately... (But it's good to have a job!) Okay, all new entries are listed at this time.

Cheers, Mike/TB379

Garzonh: You just need Mike/Thunderbolt379 to put you down on the roster.

Mike- you still haven't put down my AFV Club 1/35th M40 yet!! 

Hi,

What do I need to roll in?

I'm starting an M109A2 Howitzer from AFV 1/35.

Thanks!

Tony: That's great! At the rate I build you'll be done before I am with my M40 though!

Pretty slow progress on my 1/48 Wespe. I've just been eradicating some ejection pin marks and generally cleaning up the kit parts, whilst I await the arrival of my Tamiya Panzer II chassis donation kit. I just hope it all fits, but time will tell. I'll post some photos when I get to something significant, like attempting to marry up the Tamiya chassis to the Bandai upper hull.

I've also got a set of resin link and length tracks for it, but I'll use the Tamiya ones unless I find some reason why I can't. I'd really like a turned gun barrel, but don't think there is one available.

Cheers

Tony

GB huh

I've got another AFV Club M-40 kit i'm going to covert to a M-43 that I might be able to work in since this is a one year GB surely.

Lord willin and the creek don't rise

thank you. think i will paint it black and overspray it with hull red for that used look

Thunderbolt, would you be so kind as to sign me up for a Flakpanzer IV "Ostwind" by Dragon in 1/35. This is a cross over from the Duck Hunter build. Thanks.

That suspension looks great, Wayne!

Good work Wayne, quite a lot of parts too.

Waynec: Looks good, really detailed suspension there!

hey bish

36180 exterior for hobbyboss DANA. little hatches for the 4 small boxes attached to the frame. i do jig saw puzzles so i will be able to figure it out. printed the .pdf's so i have a color copy to work with.

i have an etchmate and really like it. the card trick was from a friend. she said she uses mit on a complex fold to really understand it before folding the metal
