Weekend group build anyone???

Ed,

Great job!

Well, I got the Flak painted the base color (grey) and the gun painted gunmetal, and I got the Kubelwagen glued up, except for the wheels. But I didn't get any touch up painting done, weathering done, or decals on. Guess I didn't make the cut. But it was a close call!! It was a fun idea, Eric! Thanks.

And congratulations to all of you speed demons! I'll post a couple of pics tonight.

I managed to put the entire m923 together. I guess it wasn't quite fair, as I did a lot of prep work last week. Either way, the kit went together nicely enough. I'll take some pics this week or weekend and post them when I get the chance. I'm a little busy at work this week, with a lot of late nights, plus I'm taking delivery of a new PC, so not much time left for modelling in the next few days

Bill,
looking forward to the pictures.
not to worry, sounds like you got a lot of work done.
and it was Mrs Bill's birthday after all!

Zokissima,
want to see yours as well.
i had some stuff done on my T-34 from a moth or so ago, so i guess i had a bit of an advantage too!

ed.

I'll manage to take some pics this weekend, so maybe sometime next week I'll have the time to post them. Depends on when I can get to a scanner :)

I wasn't able to get pictures last night, will try tonight.

got pictures!!!!!!
here it is (sorry for the poor pics)

Chris,
gee, it looks so much smaller than the 'other' picture you posted!


cute little thing, isn't it!?

pics are good enough if you are borrowing camera etc.
it has taken me quite a while to get my pics up to the current level of mediocre!
big breakthru was getting the software loaded on my home PC so i did not
have to bring the camera to the office to get a look at them.
(the camera, technically, belongs to my employer. i have it on loan)
the faster feedback has been a great help.
shoot a few dozen pics w/ various flash and zoom sttings, then look them over,
see what was working best and try more like that.

but the point is the daimler looks good.
AND you did a plane the same weekend ?!?!?

ed.

yep, the airfix mig-15

UPDATE
i actually managed 2 get some work done on the universal carrier last wekend !
posted a pic on ronusmc site, upload gallery pg. 18...
if some nice person would link the pic 4 me, that would b so great !

Chris:
the daimler looks really cute !
yet another fine model from ur shop...

wildwilliam:

frosty

Frosty!
here is your Universal Carrier:



goodness! is that 1/72 !?!?
looks like it might fit in my shirt pocket!

coming along nicely.

and thanks for your kind words abt the T-34.

ed.

Great job you guys (applause) (clapping). Don't know how you did it, but you did.

was it up to airfix standards or was it higher than it, frosty?? very good job on it!!

wildwilliam:
thanx 4 posting the pic !
it's not the clearest. is it ?
that's what i get 4 being in a hurry, but at least u can see a bit of something, lol !
it's 'airfix' scale, not 1/76 or 1/72... approx. 1/74 ! ah, England !

Chris:
LOL ! it's typical airfix, looks good enough 2 represent whatever it's supposed 2 b w/o much in the way of additional detail... perfect 4 the weekend build !
& now i can keep working on it 4 the towed gun build ...

thanx 4 ur kind words!

frosty

the perfect kitbash in that box though........ I've done 4 airfix kits and the only good one is their WW1 tank mk. 1. very decent kit, unlike their sherman which had part numbers on the exterior of the vehicle, etc.

I have to say that I am impressed with what you guys turned out in one weekend. Myself, well I got a little ambitious, plus I had some things pop that took up a lot of my weekend. Anyway, after weekend #2 for me I just need to paint. Here is a link to some pictures of what I have done with my T34:

as always, I would love to hear comments/criticisms.

Thanks for joining me on this build guys. Ed and Chris, I love the pics. You guys did some impressive building for such a short time span. Good job!!

thanks again,
edog
