                        On the instructions, I'm supposedly over half done, but I've built the inside, the outside minus accessories and the wheels. I made the mistake of attaching the top before I painted the inside... It was pretty hard painting the inside.

                        I jsut had my first day of school today, yea i know on a friday??????????
                        Anywho after school i went to my LHS but the interior kit for my panther didnt come in yet, so i bought dragon's 1/72nd tiger. Its a nice kit. Anywho as far as the progress pics go can i send them to someone and have them upload them because my computer is very slow and it would take for ever.

                        Any takers??
                        IF you can't beat them then they are not tied down properly

                        I built the wheels, little mistake of putting after what I said I didnt build.

                        I am going to the hobbystore today so I can get the tamiya Zim Tool and then I will start.
                        Money is tight for me, very tight. But I have been going a lot of work around the ranch. Well, I guessI have the money for lots of stuff but, I have to split it with 3 hobbies, Modeling, Airsoft, Civil War reenacting. Owell.

                        Awasoda, You can send your pics to me too at rebelreenactor@hotmail.com
                        or rebelreenactor3rdconf@yahoo.com
                        Just a little tip on the tiger kit you got, Try and strech the tracks out, dragon made them way too small. Mine wouldnt go ont without a tough fight.

                        Need your suggestions guys:
                        On my kit, there are gas cans, shovel, that weird looking metal thing (I think it might be a jack...) Should I remove them to paint the camo or should i paint the camo over them? I'm lazy and if it was my vehicle I'd paint right over them and I think that would be better camo, but I'm not sure. Opinions?
                        Thanks

                        Yea i finished the assembly on the tiger, it was nice, the zim was incredible, my tracks were a little tight but for the most part are nice, ill jsut have to glue them down to the road wheels.
                        As far as my panther is consierend nothing until my guts come in. I am not sure if i want to put it in with my t-34 in a dio or make them two seperate ones, i dont want attention tkaen away form either of them.

                        Scer, You can paint over the tools. If that metal thing is big and bulky its the jack, if you paint the camo over it you would have to show some wear and tear on it. You can either leave the tools on and paint on the camo, or take them off and paint them separatly. The Germans would have had either of the 2.

                        Awasoda, That kit is a beauty. I loved it. My tacks must have been really bad, because they just would fit.

                        Update: Have everything built except gun assembly and thats it. I have to mask my chairs inside because I had to add (for some reason its a couple of steps after you put the 2 hulls together) things inside the fighting compartment. :( Other wise it's good, still some fit problems along the way, but less now. Going along fine. Hope other people are doing good too. The dark tan things inside the fighting compartment are put on in Step 8, while you put the 2 hulls together in step 4!

                        I don't know why my pics are so big. I don't want to change anything because my parents don't know how to change it back and they'll get mad at me probably. Is that Canadian or US Dollars?

                        scer, you dont need an airbrush for tracks. I use a can of black spray paint and then drybrush with steel and give a wash of rust or sand. Works great. I would reccommend buying Tamiya's M3 stuart, its about $12 bucks so it would be a great practice model.

                        Gringe, I havent tried a conversion yet (too poor) so I am excited to see how it comes out.

                        Hmmm, I guess I should get moving on my Panther, I'm mostly done the lower hull, the only problem is that I'm missing a part, it goes on the rear escape hatch, it's one of 2 parts that go on it and when they're attached it almost looks like a spool. Maybe someone can send me a spare or something.

                        of course you don't need an airbrush for tracks, here is a pic of my churchill that i did all with a paint brush, blurry pic cause i had to take it one handedly (thats not a word is it?Tongue [:P])


                        note: this is not my build for this gb

                        the "crapcat"
                        i didnt do a lot cuz i went on vacation on this 3 day weekend to minesota. i got the pilot into looking like hes steering and not strangling himself. i got the whole cockpit scratched (wow! even though everythings gonna be closed and u wont be able to see it, its there!) i got one wing half glued (theres no guns, bullet casing ejectors yes but no guns!!!!) i bought some putty (for the first time ever) but i dont know if itll work cuz i got it @ menards (im so cheap!!! i bought these two models cuz they were the cheapest!!) its called DURHAMS ROCK HARD WATER PUTTY any one try it???(probably not) its in powder form and u add water im testing it now.................waiting waiting......

                        i think not having an airbrush is cool i had awesome results from brushes!!

                        I like silly putty to mask, but 4 eggs of it cost me 6 dollars at Toys-R-Us (Gosh I hate that store, only have 1-2 cashiers and soooooooooo many people) And since I'm going to be entering mine, I'm going to paint the inside evern though you can't see half of it. Just in case. What's Menards?
                        My last day of summer break is 1 and a half hours away from ending and my first day of High School is going to begin! I don't even know where my locker is!
