Love the result!!! Yes  Nice work on the figure too.  By adding a figure, it helps us realize how tiny the space was behind the gun.  Happy to see it cross the finish line.  Now somebody please update the Marder Madness Hall of Fame? 

Looking forward to see your magic work on the Brummar next...

Tony,

Figure looks great...wish I could send you some of our weather to help you finish things up...it's 66 degrees and sunny and supposed to hit the low 70s tomorrow and Sunday...hard to believe it in January even for our corner of the desert!

The figure is ready to take his position

Too cold to spray the Marder with a flat coat outside today,maybe this weekend we'll have a warm day.

Later Folks

Thanks Tony...have to agree with you that the GBs tend to draw a lot of builds/projects away from the main forum and the attention of the larger group as a result...one of the chief drawbacks to GBs IMHO and one of the main reasons why I don't participate in them regularly. This time around though I used it for motivation to keep working on a particular project while I adjusted to my MBA program work requirements. I think I've found the right balance point and once this build is done, will return to my regularly scheduled build thread activity here in the Armor forum, never fear! Wink

Love what you're doing with the Marder II-D! Beer

OK Bill that explains it but as my daddy use to say: "The next time you go out of this yard without telling somebody i'm going to bend you over my knee young man."

You're not the only one to disappear on me and I was worried about you guys.Boo Hoo BTW your GB project is tops as usual buddy.

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

Sorry BB I have no excuse for being late. The Marder I Hotchkiss will be worked on too.

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!

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?

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!

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

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!

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.

I think there are six more Rob.Embarrassed I just got carried away with getting them built and not finished.

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,

Ben Toast

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.

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
