lol, thx Cliff!
Yeah, kind of disappointed with the way the cab doors are molded - cast solid with the frame. It would require some work in bringing back detail to pose them open. I had wanted to include a figure or two standing outside the vehicle, but I think it might look odd with the doors closed?

Jack
She's coming right along there Jack.
And black leather seats and shorts in the desert... ouch!

I would imagine so.When they are building the vehicle, i would not think they would know where its going, as i am not aware of Trop versions for vehicles as with aircraft, apart from the filters for the Tiger tank. I know on 251's they switched to wooden seats later on, but of course they would be completly differant seats.

Thanks Bish, vehicle colour it is for the dashboard - actually that makes it easier for me as it is already glued in place.
Now for the seats, since I'm doing an African based vehicle, would they still use black leather?
Ok jack, got you added now. I have only done 251's to now and they all have the dashboard in the same colour as the rest of the cab area.
Hi Bish, yes it's a 1/35 AFV Club Sd.kfz.11, and thank you for the mentioning the leather seats. Looks like the whole dashboard is also black:

Jack, for some reason i haven't got you on the roster. Is that the AFv Club kit.
I usually go for black leather for AFV seats, i am prety sure i once read that was the norm for German vehicles.
Still working away at mine, but adding the Eduard PE detail has slowed things down.
I need to start some painting too before completely enclosing the cab area, particularly the dash board. Bish, or anyone else - any idea about the seat colour?
Thanks guys!! It will be a while before I get the diorama. More likely long after this thread closes.
Very cool, I love how the camo came out too! Looking forward to seeing her in the diorama.
Nice finish KC, like the camo. Got you on the front page.
KC, that looks extremely well done.
I like the hard edge camou, and the accents of bright orange rust give an added interest to a great looking build.
KC -
Great job sir....I really like how you weathered your build.

Sorry I put one photo in twice instead of this one.

I'm going to call this one finished. Some of you might notice that two road wheels in the middle on both sides are a little off that's because it will set on something when I put on the diorama.
CN: Whoa that looks pretty awesome! I still haven't had the guts to do a really beat-up rusty vehicle yet.
Bish: I'm hoping too to get done by the deadline. I'm working on a B-17 diorama for a vet right now and it's kinda sucking up most of my hobby time. I was really hoping to get a little work done on the halftrack this weekend but that wasn't to be. Cross your fingers when I get the B-17 out of the way I'll be back on track.
That is one knackered looking vehicle, the rust looks good. I am trying to understand why there is rust on the sides of the flatbed, aren't they wood? Mind you, it could be the digital camera hasn't picked up subtle nuances in shades?
Great job!
Gentlemen -
All I can say is WOW!!! some great looking builds so far. Bish love the settings you placed your half tracks in. Sorry I have been absent....life stuff kinda put the brake's on my builds. I will be back in here real soon after I finish my submission for the Sub GB. Looking forward to my first track build.....I will definitely be asking a lot of questions....lol.
See ya soon gents,
Ok, got you added, and thanks again.
Hopefully we will get a couple more done in the last 2 and a half months, would be nice to get a 50% completion.
Now thats real nice castel, really great finish. Thank you. Will add it to the roster in a bit.
Don't know what else to add to this, so lets call it done...
jgeratic Bobby, great job there, and good on on you for going full bore with the figures. They really add life to the fine work you did on the halftrack. regards, Jack

Thank you sir! No doubt. Look at the pics with just the halftrack and it's blah. Throw the figures in it and it pops! :)

Bish Greta job there Bobby, and well done for squeezing those figures in. Got you added to the front page.

Thank you sir! What a fun GB! Thanks for hosting it!
Gamera Bobby she turned out really well! And I know what you mean, sometimes you just have to fiddle with figures to get them to fit properly.

Thank you sir! Yeah, there was so many figures with the kit! There is one not in the pics. It's a soldier walking! I have him on the shelf with it now. I think there were 9 total! Pretty good deal for figures!
Man, there is some really good work here! You guys are putting me to shame with your builds. Awesome!
Well, I'm calling it finished! I tried to arrange the men the way Tamiya called them out, but it just didn't work. So I arranged them the best I could. Hard to see all the details with taking pics with my phone. There is a radio in the back(it's next to the soldier with the radio phone), the dashboard was really nice, all the rifles in the holders looks cool too. I didn't go over board with the weathering (which I've done a few times since starting to do armor) . The antenna is a guitar string, and it is really hard to see, but I loaded almost each soldier with 2 grenades!! That was fun! One has a .45 sidearm, but he is sitting and it's hard to see. So here she is. The Tamiya kit went together very well and it was a fun kit to do. It has very nicely detailed and has LOTS of soldiers! Enjoy.
Bish...again, smashing GB! Always a joy and loads of fun doing your GB's!
That's some really sharp work Steve, love the interior.
Gotyou added Steve, niceto have some company on the first page. I know we will have some more on there soon.
