Cool.   Cant wait to see some shots on the Pz II.  its probably my favorite of all Light Tanks.  If I didnt already have one in my collection I'd have done one for this GB.

(And still might)   ;)

photobucket, right, got it.

Thanks!

So, about this build, I've got the Pzkpfw II built, and in the process of painting it, and I was going to show off (err, submit to humiliation and ridicule) what I've done so far, and I can't find out how to attach pics.

Dont know about everyone else, but what I do is use Photobucket.com to host my pics.

The good points here are : 1--Its free....and 2--It really is Free.

Just register for free (they dont send me any spam so dont worry) and then hit this button that will allow you to browse for your photo to upload  to Photobucket.

Once that is done, you should see your pic with a few HTML tags beneath it.  Just copy and paste the IMG tag as indicated directly into your post here and voila its done!

This is just one method....there are lots of free photo hosting sites, but they all work similarly.

Hi Gang-

Sorry for lack of info, I'm both extremely busy at work, and I have a family.

No excuse, I know, sorry.

So, about this build, I've got the Pzkpfw II built, and in the process of painting it, and I was going to show off (err, submit to humiliation and ridicule) what I've done so far, and I can't find out how to attach pics.

I haven't built and painted a model in 20 years, it's going to suck rocks, but I thought I'd show it off anyway, and ask for advice on how to proceed.

...so, about that picture attaching thing?

[Edited cuz it' late and I'm a blonde]

Ok! Now that I'm not too bad at modeling and weathering, I might rework my Stuart a bit.

To be continued ...

Wow! Outstanding job cj95.  Your Walker Bulldog looks awesome and you are right, the tracks are beautifull.

Nice work!   I like it.

Cj great job on the bulldog the dustcover came out fine as well as the cammo but most of all you did an awesome rust job on the tracks and muffelers

I myself am working on my paintjob i need to mix up a greener olive drab then oot bottle for a Guadalcanal USMC stuart time to pull out the color wheel againmore photos soon TTFN

Allright boys and girls......

The Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog is ready for action at last.

For such an old kit, and not being very generous with details, this was still a fun build, and I am pleased with the results.

The semi-winter camo turned out better than I thought, easpecially after the wash and pastels.

With the exception of the tissue-paper mantlet cover and stowage bags, everything is OOB.

Enjoy, and feel free to critisize.

As mentioned earlier, the mufflers ont he M41's were known to run so hot that they virtually glowed. The result was very poor paint coverage, and quick rusting. I accomplished this with various pastels.

Such a sunny day for winter camo.  :)

Front end close-up. 

More mufflers

For rubber-band tracks with only one side of detail, I think they turned out fairly decent.  Your opinions may vary.  ;)

Thats it.  Feel free to comment.

Cool LAV.

What are those dangling things on the sides? Tie downs?

Mir sprich einigermassen deutsche mir lernbegierigem mehr. and for anyone who speaks german better than myself I apologise for mangleing the language lol

but the mantlet and gear bags look great so far
