This is what I'm going for on the Panter build. Gonna take awhile.

Does this help?

Got started on the Mercedes today. Mostly cleaning up parts and getting them ready for primer and some base coats. Most of the pieces have multiple colors on each one, so there will be tons of hand painting also.

I promise, 2022 Secret Santa, I haven't forgotten about last year's gift! She's ready for the paint booth.

Wishing for a speedy recovery for your wife.

Are those boomerangs on the table?

 

Thanks for your kind wishes John and yes that is a boomerang. It's a hunting one. I'll post a pic of the full length with something to indicate it's size.

BK that is going to be a great Dio.

I love Zeroes and just must get one with all the trimmings. Once Sprue Brothers has Eduard on sale I'll have to pull the trigger. 

 

Steve you won't be disappointed with the Eduard Zero.

Dodgy.

G'day German Armour! The Eduard Zero kit is stunning. I will post some pics of the sprues.

Dodgy

Hey BK the Panther is looking great! The broken bridge Dio sounds really interesting. I'll just be doing a plain base for my Tiger.

Cheers

Glamdring have you checked out Scalemates?

This looks like it will be a great build roster with these colorful schemes.

Nice start on the Cat, Brandon.

I have a side question, I think you posted about some database software for model stashes.  Was that you and what was the name of it?  I tried searching, but the forum search function leaves much to be desired....

Wishing for a speedy recovery for your wife.

G'day all and seasons greetings. I hope all are safe and well given the terrible winter you are having. I apologise for not responding earlier, but my wife went into hospital with some serious health issues the week before Christmas and is still there. Then I had trouble with logging in, so I am now playing catch up. The range of gifts looks fantastic and I am very, very pleased with mine. Thank you Santa. I am hoping Jill will be home today/tomorrow and I plan to start my build next week.

Dodgy

This is soooo cool. I really wanted one of these Eduard Zero's

 

That's a awesome gift!  I've heard good things about the Eduard Zeros

Work on last years gift (2022), the Panther, has begun in earnest. I am still planning on putting this one on a colapsed bridge dio. I am making my way forward so I can begin the zimmerett applicaiton. I've never done this before so it should prove interesting. Road wheels are done but I have left the suspension loose so I can set it once I have the position dialed in on the bridge. Then I can set the wheels and build the tracks.

I am planning on starting this years kit (2023), the Mercedes, next week. I am trying to finish up on more kit for 2022, a P-51B for Lewbud. Painting on it has begun.

Keep up the great work guys,

BK

Don't worry about working on it. Get your wife handled and if time remains then you can think about models. Family first!!

Lots of great stuff here for sure. A couple of my favorites that I'll definitely watch are going to be the Flogger and that Mercedes, Mach 1 and BK dang those are both gonna end up being awesome paint jobs from you guys!

German Armour

 

Here's the kit,  and a couple aftermarket details I had.  Now I need to find some photos of a armored M10 :D

 

BK

This one really opens itself up to many great weathering possibilities! Look forward to see what you make of it.

I have been blessed with a two-fer this year, and I stoked for both:

Hasegawa 1/72 F-16CJ Fighting Falcon and F-4E Phantom

This will be a nice change of pace, thank you!

 

This is gonna be a steller year.

SS you nailed it. What a super cool kit. I can't wait to work on this one. I've never built any Tamiya car kits nor any racecars like this. Super happy. THANK YOU SANTA !!!

BK

 

Man Mongoose, that's a smooth looking supercar!

Sorry, BK! I got it and had it all wrapped up and put with the tree! Just opened it last night, though!

 

Thank you, Santa, for the great kit and the generous extras! I love it!

 

 

Oh wow, two He219's! This might be a first.  Stellar Tamiya kits! 

I'm a big fan of those shark mouth phantoms! That's gonna be a nice build.
