Your finished ARMOR builds for 2011

Thanks Rick! Andy's got me beat hands down on anything I'd enter. Yes indeed I'm planning to attend the Roscoe Turner show and hope to see you and Andy there.

John, I think that your ready to give that Deafpanzer guy a run for his money at Roscoe Turner.  Hope you're planning to go.   Rick.

Thanks guys! A Few more pics as requested:

I agree, that T-34 is stunning Jon.

Quality is always better than quantity!

Excellent builds ogrejohn!

...Unless of course you follow the Communist Manifesto according to

Joseph Stalin:

Quantity is its own quality

The T-34/85 is weathered perfectly and deserves a few more photos.

Only 2 for me this year. Bad case of modelers block.

Lots of great stuff on display here...nice to see some favorites from the year along with others that were missed. Happy New Year and may 2012 be filled with styrene and bench time to do something with it!

Totally agree with you Bill.

People, you need to post pictures of your finished builds!!!!!!!

Eric- Thanks!

Anthony- Dig that American tank painted as German!  Used in movie Patton, correct?

Nice work everybody... I want to see more.  Happy New Year!

Yes, this year was pretty good for my armor builds, I finished up several older extended builds and also a few new builds.

First completed was my 1/35 Tamiya Kfz 251/1C

then my 1/35 Tamiya Centurion Mk.3

next completed was a "quick build" of the 1/35 Tamiya Renault UE Armored Carrier

then an Academy 1/35 M151A1C 1/4 ton with 106mm Recoilless Rifle built in a weekend

followed by completion of my long in progress ESCI 1/35 LAV C2

and a short while ago another "rapid" build, my final AFV for 2011, 1/35 Dragon Panzer Mk III H

better than last year

Good year for some!

Great models by all!

It seems so long ago, yet before my son was born in June I had a bit of time and space to model. Sometime before that I completed a project that became a quagmire of scratch building:

1/72 Italeri Hetzer 'Chwat' (Brave Person)

Vignette & tribute to the Warsaw Uprising resistance to follow...

Eric- Thanks!

Anthony- Dig that American tank painted as German!  Used in movie Patton, correct?

Nice work everybody... I want to see more.  Happy New Year!

I didn't do a lot of armor this year.Here's what I did do.

I like the finish there Josiah.

Andy, I forgot to mention that your figgies rock!

Wow everyone's builds look fantastic. Here's mine.

Tamiya's 1/35 AAV, scratched the EAAK mounting bosses.

Mike- Thanks!!!

Rick- Will do!  

Happy New Year everybody!  Please keep the parade rolling...

Andy, They're all contenders, but I love the way that Chaffee sets.  I agree, we got to get the Ogre back to Indy.  Hey you other Hoosiers, give us a holler and join us at the Roscoe Turner contest/show  in early March.  It would be a nice event to put some faces with avatars.  We had a great visit last year.  Andy, we should start a thread when the show gets a little closer.  Rick.

Andy - Love the figures....excellent work

Rounds Complete!!

Eric- Thanks!  Had too much fun building that Marder. 

Rick- Thanks!  Which builds should I enter?  Still thinking about it... like I said I model just for pleasure.

Maybe we can reach an agreement that you will enter your recent builds especially those Mustangs and Mosquito... they looked great!  I will be in touch to make a plan for us to get together maybe for lunch?  John of course can join us too.

I love that Marder Andy.

Let the hit parade continue.

Great stuff Andy.  Roscoe Turner is waiting for you.  That won't be too long now. Hope you're having a great Holiday Season.  Rick

Ben - As you know I am not a Germaholic but what I can say is to echo the others, you have come a long way. You have learned the key ingredient..... patience. I am sure the Ontos you tried more than a year ago is now in your ability. It is always good to see someone here on the forums grow.You have done well.

Marc - Always love your peanut butter army!

Rounds Complete!!

The hit parade just keeps on rollin'.  Thanks for the compliment on the Marder Ben.  I am kinda partial to your Stug III B.

Dre:

Hinsky- I haven't been 'round this Armor forum for a long while, but I am awed by your JSU-153 and the Pz.III N.

If there was a "Most Improved Since Joining the FSM, Armor" award category,  I'd certainly vote for you.

Well done, sir.  Very well done.

 

  Agree with Dre's comment regarding Ben's latest builds.  Now he is taking his time to do fine details and all of that stuff... his latest builds are coming out great especially Pz III N which is my favorite. 

Wow - cheers guys,

I'll admit that the JSU, the Pz III N (and the Pz I A) are my personal faves but like Andy said, now I'm spending a LOT more time on research and preparation my work has really improved - A LOT

This time tomorrow I'll hopefully have a completed whitewashed Hairspray Hetzer to show off.

Cheers again Dre and Andy!

Take care, Ben

Hi folks,

This should be an enjoyable thread! I'm starting from January 2011 up to now:

• Tamiya 1/35 JSU-153 with RB Barrel:

• Tamiya 1/35 StuG III Ausf B:

• Tamiya 1/48 StuG III Ausf G with RB Barrel and Millput Zim (my first attempt at Zim):

• Cyber-Hobby 1/35 SIG 33B (Built for Andy Deafpanzers Panzer III GB):

• Tamiya 1/35 Panzer III Ausf N (Built for Deafpanzers Panzer III GB): 

These are the builds on my bench going into 2012 - one wip and one 'restoration' build:

• Dragons Initial Production Tiger I: 

• Tamiya 1/35 Hetzer with RB Barrel (the initial cammo scheme came out pretty badly but I went with it) so I've painted it a simple DY from a Tamiya rattlecan instead of the ab.  New decals are on and two coats of Klear - get ready for a hairspray whitewash (my first ever attempt)! I'll be doing the Whitewash tomorrow.

There are some stunning builds on here chaps!

The build that has really stood out and grabbed me is Wing Nuts Marder III M - I loved this build:

Cheers guys,

Ben

What an impressive lot there Cameraflage.
