WIP Marder II D by Alan (Completed) 1-21-12

Good God Tony! Thanks for the link

Yep i'm keeping a close eye out for that Bronco example myself.

Doing the Alan is where Making a silk purse out of a sows ear comes from I think.

Thanks my friend

Tony lee

Man, that's gorgeous, Tony. I love the weird lines of this odd vehicle. I'm looking for a Bronco one in the near future. Yours looks as good as any I've seen--I can't believe it's an old Alan kit!

If you're asking about the II D try here about half way down the page:

NG are you talking about these or all of them???????

Tony lee

Tony, do you have a link to your finished models?

Sorry about that folks but with the holidays and all I hadn't noticed this was being commented on again. I'm waiting on the Bronco version to be released for a comparison build in the future.

Eric wants to know what i've got on the bench now:

Both are Bronco kits btw.

Thanks for your renewed interest

Tony lee

Tony, what's on the bench right now?

Im glad to see Tony still at it.  Ive never seen anyone put so many kits together!  Tony, Ive admired your skill for a long while.  You and several others always quietly encourage me with your pics and your talent.  Can't wait to see the Brumbar!

Great work my friend!.  The weathering looks excellent!

Regards
Rodolfo

Thanks for sharing this Tony and for the words of encouragement. I'm sure Alans work a lot easier on a bench. I used to do all my models sitting in the floor. I can't wait to get on this one after I get a few of these others cleared out of the way.

Thanks Alexander and Dave. When doing a open top there's no where to hide.

Take care

Tony lee

Tony,

You nailed it with this one .......... and on pretty much every open top build I've had the pleasure of following.

Cheers

Dave

Spectacular finish!

I know the feeling Tony.....same here. Time just gets away from me, and the next thing I know, it's been months since I posted on FSM. Spent a lot of the summer and fall building kits, and promptly putting them in my cabinet, unfinished. I've got a backlog of about 15 kits that are built, but not painted. Gotta try and buckle down, and finish some of them before starting something else. It's hard with so many NICE kits in my stash!

Looking forward to seeing your Marder Hotchkiss when it's done.

Nate

Thanks Nate

I'll knock the Brummbar in the head and go right to the the other Marder and paint it. That should put the lid on the Marder Madness Project.

How you doing my friend? I've been busy at the bench and just let the time get away from me. Other than time just getting older.

Cheers

Tony lee

Great job Tony! Definitely worth the wait!

Nate

Very well done!!

Great job on the build.  I've heard that kit is really a challenge to make it look respectible. 

Thanks for your much valued compliments guys

In my mad rush to get it done so I would have NFL TV time today I forgot to add oil seepage on some of the hubs,gluing the sprockets on the shafts when I put the tracks back on and I left the antenna off.

Just another symptom of CRS

You would think Montana was the only guy on the team the way they fell apart when he left Bill.

Getr Done

Tony lee

Worth the wait to see this one get finished Tony. Very nice work all around, hard to believe it started out as the Alan kit...you've definitely turned it into a real gem.

Like you I'm hoping the games today are good ones...would love to see my 'Niners go to the Super Bowl...I've been very patient throughout the last decade-plus!

Tony

That is just OUTSTANDING.

Time to update the Marder Madness Wrapup!

Tony - Very nice....I love the weathering, part dirty, part faded, perfect. All the little detail make it perfect. As for your timing.....whatever time works for you is the right time!!!

Rounds Complete!!

That's some dang fine work there Tony!

Thanks Rob

Like I said, better late than never I suppose.

Tony lee

VERY NICE   She looks great!

Terry,Karl and Eric

Just call me Steady Freddie,Ready to Rock and Roll

Now if the last two NFL games are exciting tomorrow i'll be a happy puppy.

Thanks Heaps Guys

Tony lee

Stunning. Absolutely stunning work Tony. Hard to believe this was once the dinosaur release by Alan.

Another enjoyable ride with you. Can't wait for the next one.

Tony,  this could be a "box art" model. It's just perfect in every aspect.

Consistency is your middle name, bud!
