Young Guns GB #3- Must be under 18!!!

we've been crawling through American history by our finger nails.  we've just made it into the 20th century.  course, though we've been going slow timeline-wise, we've been workin like dogs over the info.  its ok though, seeing as how we'll be done by April (only ten more chapters, YEAH BABY!!!)  after that, our teacher says we might watch various movies, including Saving Private Ryan, huo-YA!!  i gotta pick up my grade though.  aaaah, the ups and downs of being in AP......

reb, id go for it.  at least youll get to see a different country.  the family thing is kinda creepy yeah, but who knows what theyll be like.  and then you can come back and make everything up to people.  you could say, "Yeah, all the chicks were into me, they all wanted help with their english. So I gave them personal tutoring lessons..."

reb- dont doubt them, i went on a trip where i stayed with a family i didnt know, and they were really cool, all we did was play volleyball and paintin the town.....i loved that trip, i made friends for life, i only knew 2 people going in, i left loving them all....i swear, if u have the chance, go i dont think theyll put u with a family that doesnt know a lick of english, really, youll come back knowing MUCH more german than youll believe, after coming back from poland im swearin in polish at a 11th grade level. (hint: by knowing the amount of english u do.....u can get into anywhere! )

about the leaders during the cold war......idk, i dont trust a guy whose name is Nikita....

STUKA!!! GET DOWN!!!!

anyway, thanks for the advice. time to get ourt the people's phone book. On a side note: only in the soviet untion do you have a march just for caspian sea oil workers, or one about a railroad.

Das ist Prima! (lol, the extent of mein deutch).

Tanky, sounds great! Just you and your sister?

well I'm not sure how many people get to say this but, I shot my English teacher and it felt good.

Yep, my English teacher plays airsoft too! Played a game at his house tonight. Pretty cool, I normally would never even think about going over to my teachers house.

on Long Island you run a greater risk of getting sued than getting shot....well, in some parts....

reb- i bet he schooled you (hehehe pun)

no progress here.....dang...im just too busy...i try n do SOMETHING SOON!!! wow..

-DJ

been quiet around here....

Latets progress- Tamiya Marder II. 1970's era kit. I added a tarp and an AFV club MG on scratched mount. Not much. I also had to swap out the decals for some dml ones because the kit ones were old.

Planning on adding a wash and dullcoat tommorow and possibly the white wash. Then after all that some mud. I'm gonna try the method that the guy used in the current issue of FSM.

PS, sorry for the crappy pics.

looks good reb.

Here are pics of my Panzer I B.  Its finaly all done.  Geez, I hate those tracks.

Thanks everyone!

Reb-I use plain old masking tape with some canablised buckles from a 1/32 Aircraft PE set.

The paint is Polly Scale and ModelMaster with a series of very heavy oil washes of orange ocher, burnt umber and black, followed by drybrushing.  Then I used my Passche VLS to carefully spray a muddy sand color onto the lower body and shaded the upper panels with a sand color.  I followed this by another drybrushing, liberal applications of sand and earth colored MiG pigments to the lower body, tracks and fenders.  Thats it.  Glad you liked it.

Finished this one up tonight. The kit is the old Tamiya kit OOB except for an AVF club MG on scratched mount, tarp and stowage.

I used the mud technique in the current issue of FSM. I like the results and it was really easy to do.

I tried to get the vehicle to represent one from Spring of 1943 in Russia. The winter camo is wearing away and the melting snow has caused lots of mud.

Guess this will be my entry.

wow reb!!! that looks awesome!!! the weathering is soo cool!!!

oh jeez.....no progress again... i went to another concert and bought another cd....so its been keeping me from getting any progress dun..

ok....this has got to stop!
