Will, I like that badge, is it possible to make the guy one of the main characters though? Preferably catman.

Panzer 55 welcome to the build. What Tank destroyer are you planning on building?

Rudy, not bad! The weathering on the wings looks good as does the rigging.   Wont count for this build though.

A couple tips, when you need to paint straight lines use some masking tape. On the canopy and the nose are soem good examples. Masking them off will make perfect lines.

I am sorry to tell you, but I am not a reddish stone. Tongue [:P]

O and reb, why aren't you counting it in? I don't understand.Confused [%-)] O, and the anti-glare panel IS a masked item. The framin is freehand. I don't like masking canopies.

Can I change my build to a Tamiya 1/35 Panzer IV Ausf J? I worked on the subs a little and the fit is pretty awful to say the least.

I have um a scratchbuilt figure for this build is this ok?

Any name suggestions? I'm thinking Bob

Bob is in very good physcal condition. He is plastic sprue and yet he can still do pushups.

And can lift an M113 IDF Fitter...

No but seriously I still don't know what I'll build for real.

Thanks Reb I am going to build another something though.

Sadly though Baked Potato that's his name. It's a story from Marching Band I'd rather not discuss to you guys...

Anyways Baked Potato was discovered lying in pieces on September 7, 2006 at the time of around 1017. Yes it is rather sad. The doctors said they will try to make him presentable as he has multiple burnt marks on his arms legs turso and head. His legs and arms are detached at the present moment and Doctors say he might not make it.
