Daaarn, this sounds interesting! You expert will giggle at my attempts - but I may leave the auto's and try my hand at the one tank in my pile - or one of the planes... Heaven forbid, I will most likely be crucified along the way! Count me in - I will hopefully be done by end Jan with one of my current WIP's... 

Lewbud, really looking forward to seeing that Tyrrell! Is it the WCT version? I bought that a couple of years ago - and trust me, it looks WAY simpler than some of the other super-detailed Tameo kits. There's another version (at least one) of Tameo's 006's, I think it's the Monaco GP version. But it will be good to see one being built! Personally... I think the 20th kit manufacturers (esp the multi-media ones) can learn a LOT from the 43rd guys - think there's even more detail in these than a lot of the 20th kits. Good luck! 

"You expert will giggle at my attempts - "

That is the thing, non of us will be experts as we all will be trying something new, that is where the fun comes in :-)

Well, since I'm not a ship guy, I'm in with a Tamiya "Pibber" (converted to a police patrol boat!) I've had it in the stash for a few years.

Great, 5 builders willing to try something new....we'r cooking with gas now!

Theuns

Cool Seabe I will add you to the roster

Theuns

Hi Theuns,

I've ben racking my brains for this one, a I build almost everything. I am wondering if a vignette, with a couple of figures, would be OK ? I've only ever done single figures with a bit of simple groundwork.

I'll wait for your decision before choosing something.

Cheers

Tony

Hey buddy, I'd like to join up with the Dragon 1/9 Iron Man III Igor armor but may not get to it before April. 

I'll see what I can do but don't hold me to it.

cool, I will add you to the roster.

Theuns

I just got the Revell 1/35 T34/76.

Hah, I just decided to build an AFV after a 20-plus-year absence and started Takom's Skoda PA-II Turtle. But seeingas how it's almost all assembled, that won't work for this one, so I will go with Meng's 1/35 Renault FT-17.

Let's hope I can pull itoff in the timeframe!

Great idea for a GB!

-BD-

Daniel, I updated the model you'll do.

Brandon, welcome mate

Hey Theuns,

What did you think about my vignette idea ?

Cheers

Update on my Revell 1/35 T34/76:Built and ready to paint

Tony my humble apologies mate! I totally missed your post....must have my peepers checked.

I think if it is some form of modling you dont really do and would want to use it to try something different to what your usual style is  then yes it would fit right in.

I will add you to the roster.

Daniel, the link gives me an error code :-(    The tank I got you up for on the roster, is it a new build or the one that is now ready for painting?

Theuns

Hi Theuns,

I would like to try and base my vignette on this artwork, which shows 60th and 95th Riflemen circa 1815 by C. Hamilton Smith. I'll use two Airfix 54mm 95th Riflemen to do it.

The poses may be slightly different, but it will be loosely based on it. It's an idea I got from the old Airfix magazine guide, which I inconveniently can't find this morning.

Cheers

Tony

Cool one Tony, looking forward to it.

Here is a pic of the one I will attempt to do.

Theuns

Its a new  one built in two days and now ready for paint but I can't figure out how to pit images on a post.

I'll join with some kind of an airplane. I build few dozen of them...some 35 yrs ago . In the last 5 yrs or so, I have built only 3.

"I'll join with some kind of an airplane. I build few dozen of them...some 35 yrs ago . In the last 5 yrs or so, I have built only 3."

Great , got you up the roster page.

Daniel, are you going to build another model for the GB?

Maybe, the camouflage on the tank will take a while and I want to scratch build extras too. And I could use some help uploading photos.

Daniel, would you say that the tank you want to enter is 25% built or less?

Otherwize if it is way more complete I would sugest maybe another kit?

Regards

Theuns

It's about 25% done.

Ok that is cool, I thought from your posts it was close to being done ;-)

Theuns

Afternoon... Well, I received a Tamiya 1/35 scale Panzer (IV) I believe for Christmas last year and was wondering what to do with it since I could probably count the armor I've done on one hand and still have fingers left over. If you armor pros promise not to laugh too hard I'll chip in. Lolol... Thanks , Doug

Doug, I can count the amount of armour I've done on one hand and still have 5 fingers left! You're in bad company... And lo and behold, that is one of my considerations for this build!

Doug, got you up :-)

Theuns

Theuns... Thank you...Seabe, lol... well then, lets get busy!lol
