WIP Marder II D by Alan (Completed) 1-21-12
Posted by Pvt Mutt on Friday, December 16, 2011 5:48 PM

Hey AgainCool

This is one that was being built for the "Marder Madness" project and is taking up much needed space on the bench. To refresh your memory since a year has slipped by,these are the AM bits I bought to improve this sows ear of a kit.

And this is how it stood when abandonedEmbarrassed:

The remaining components have been gathered back up and i'm ready to bring this one back from the dead.  Hang around for another first for me,a Gray/Grey paint job.

It's FRIDAY people

Looks really cool so far.  I've heard the kit wasn't top notch.  I have one in the stash, but I haven't seen one built yet.

Tony, I am happy to see it back on your workbench. Yes  Everytime when somebody mentions about the hairspray technique, I think of the wooden storage bin on the rear of your Marder II.  You should post how you did it here for the newbies.

Please do post the hairspray technique.

 

I'm just now ready to try my hand at the hairspray technique on a winter camo scheme on a Sherman.

Howdy All

Well the WIP continues on the II-D. How it looks after the first coat of AK Interactive Brown/Blue Wash. The light kind of killed it but to the eye it looks good.

While the wash dries i'll finish working on the gun.

It's the weekend so have a good one folksYes

Man that looks good Yes  I too was very happy too see this one back on the bench and as always you did not let us down.  FABULOUS so far.

I,m curious, how many more are sitting on the bench.  I remember following your work and every few days a new build made an appearance Stick out tongue  Was like.....what are we going to see this time when clicking on.  Kind of made things fun, but am glad to see them all get there finishing touches.

Hey Tony,

She looks great - I love the AK stuff and am totally sold on it now (particularly the filters and streaking effects).

I'm currently building the old Tamiya 1975 'Coal Thief' original Marder II. I'm loving it - a great build!

Certainly looking forward to seeing more of this little beast - brilliant!

All the best,

Rob I think you're referring to this T-28.

It was a gift and I started putting it together while some paint was drying on another build. I wasn't counting this as it is just a curiosity and something to fill time with.

Tony, always looking good.  Can't wait to see it cross the finish line.  If it helps, I can dress up like a cheerleader to cheer you to finish those kits. Indifferent   Yes I do remember that T-28... I'd love to see you attack it soon.  I am not really into Russian armor but I'd love to build a T-28 or T-35 the battleship. 

Good to have you back!

Well HI there my long long distance buddyYes

Better late than never they say Terry. I finished the build up of the gun and armor shields so it's ready to match weather the transport.

I suppose I should finish that figure for it too since the base coat is already on.

See Ya Monday Folks

That T-28 was it.  Maybe one day she will get your graceful touch.

Gun looks good.  You are starting to add figs to your builds?  Your last ones were great as I am sure this one will be.  This fella fits in there very nicely, I like him.

Not sure if I can continue to follow along if Andy's going to be dressed cheer leading in the background of your pics Ick!

I think that this is just the cutest little destruction buggy that I've ever seen! I love this tank!

It's a fine example of model building, Tony! The paint looks great!

"destruction buggy" !!!!  That's a good one doog!!  I love it!

Very nice work Tony!  Perfect replication of that early tank destroyer!  I take it no one else makes a Marder II based on the Pz II Ausf D chassis?

TONY!!!

I don't know how I didn't notice that you'd resurrected this one.

GREAT work! As soon as you finish that figure and call her done, I'll add it to the Marder Madness Wrap-up!

"Excuse"? You don't need an excuse, Tony. This is a hobby after all. Deadlines are like (to quote "Pirates of the Caribbean") "guidelines" Wink.

Looking good Tony, the crew member gives it a nice touch. I too like Karl's "Destruction Buggy" terminology, it fits perfectly! Big Smile
