                        I got my act straight on that picture posting, so I have some progress pics to share.

                        Tamiya Brummbar -Early-
                        CMK- resin zimmerit hull - sorry Moses
                        Eduard PE - some, definetly not all









                        For this last shot I got BRAND NEW Verlinden figures just released in 1/35. I painted them quick and had to put them in because they were so cool!






                        I may loose my posting privelidges after this.

                        Sorry, I couldn't resist. It's done only in the spirit of admiration and respect. (sorry it was a german tank)

                        I kid only the people I like, the rest I ignore.

                        I would have answered sooner .... but I had to clean my Egg McMuffin off of the monitor.

                        I hurt .... from laughing so hard.

                        Build22 .... no privileges lost with this one .... I feel honoured ... but I still hurt.

                        I can't stop laughing.

                        Oh .. by the way ... I think there was a model in there somewhere .... oh yes .. here it is behind a chunk of egg.

                        Great work on the model so far .... and the Zimmerit looks pretty good.

                        Bill .... what are you doing back there????????

                        HYSTERICAL !!!

                        I thought you guys might like that. It was either that or the cover of "Band of Brothers" DVD but I couldn't get the pictures small enough.


                        Erush - the Sherm-man figure is Verlinden # 1857 in your catalog, right near #1856 Tank Girl reading "War & Peace". And I didn't have to trim anything off to get him in the hatch he fit pretty good - maybe those Germans had short arms and couldn't push themselves awy from the table


                        Erock and SF - that's how they show it on the model box, although, the way he's positioned and that smile on his face it does make you wonder?


                        SF - Sorry I didn't have Shermans ready to go. But keep an open mind, I thought you looked good in there.

                        That is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Thank you all for the great laugh. Too bad my wife didn't get it. Her loss.

                        Maybe he was just really motivated to get through the hatch. Didn't anybody realize that the Germans stocked their tanks with full Chinese Buffets?

                        ROFL..that was awesome Build. Shermie in a Panzer na na na nee poo poo!!! Big Smile [:D] I love it.

                        I love the Brummbar..and can't wait to get it started myself (in about 2 years at my pace). Shermie sent me some awesome line drawings of a multitude of armor, and the Brummbar was one of em. I have the Dragon kit as well as Tamiyas. Not sure if I will go with zim yet or not..(blasphemy!!)

                        Looks great Build, very nice conversion and that resin hull looks sweet.

                        Keep em coming..looks like you feel confident enough to post more pics so soon..nice!!

                        Well thank you once again Build22, I laughed my way through the afternoon.

                        By the way, I showed it to my wife too, and she had a great laugh at my expense .... I guess that's love.

                        Called VLS to try and order the figures ... but apparently they've sold out ... seems they have become quite popular.

                        P.S. - I still hurt !!!!!

                        I too tried to order a Sherm-man figure and they're sold out with no predicted ship date. It seems that orders have far outstripped the production capabilities due to a resin shortage, or actually due to the amount of resin needed to cast the figure.

                        They told me they were able to cast one, (build22 got it) and that took their entire years worth of resin stock.Big Smile [:D] Big Smile [:D] Wink [;)]

                        Actually I might still have that band of brothers shot if I didn't erase it. I'll check.

                        SF,
                        Thanks for being receptive to a little kidding. Really, it's great that all these people have this kind of interest and respect for you. I think it shows how many people you have influenced. Thanks for being there.

                        If you had a picture of your wife we could work her in as part of a diorama.


                        And I'm putting my Sherm-man up for bid on e-bay, so get in line to bid



                        Tigerman & Moses - Thanks for the comments.

                        Moses- I have a Dragon brummbar as well. I'll compare the two once I get to that one. Yeah, there's no reservation in posting now.

A thread dedicated mainly for builds of those guys lucky enough to get that Sherm figure. Just kidding Sherm. (ha-ha-ha-ha)

                        Anyway thanks for being a good sport, Sherm.

                        Nice one Horus.

                        As for getting the Verlinden Sherm-man, I too was told they were not in stock. I was thinking of converting a stay puff marshmallow man...

                        Hey Build, you going to put that in a diorama or just on a display base? Nice work on the Brumbar.

                        Thanks again for the comments,

                        Renarts,- Hysterical. I might put it into a diorama but I have to figure a way to incorporate my verlinden figures

                        Caveman, Claymore, Keyworth -thanks, I'll keep you posted
                        J-Hulk - thanks good to have you back

                        Sherm,
                        I went to great lengths to give you a picture to really sink your teeth into. I had a perfect oppurtunity this weekend. I think it is only fair.



                        But the picture came out terrible. You probably know where I was by this picture





                        But I did Find my BAND OF BROTHERS PHOTO




                        See ya,
                        Jim

                        Well Sherm, I didn't really want to post it here but since you seemed to have approved it already...here goes.Big Smile [:D]

                        You said all the VP 1/35 figures have been sold out. But I tried to check whether there are still available somewhere else. My search brought out a very strange result...

                        I know J-Hulk is in Saipan last week...but what do you make out of this?Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]
