IDF GB 4/20/08 - 4/20/09

Ok you all I've got my MUTT and I'm starting on it.

Um, will get back to you after the summer, once I try and finish 15 other GBs lol

The Modern Armor GB left me wishing to do more modern stuff, I have a Merkava II, but its from Minihobby Models, horrible kit, but was a gift : )  Will be lurking anyways..good luck! cheers

I have spent more internet hours on this subject than all the others combined.

http://idfmodelling.free.fr/refvehicle.html this link is a listing of IDF fighting/support equipment.

NO German stuff is listed.

I have to correct myself it seems the "English" company was 2 crowmwells, still in British "racing" green and the "Russian" company fought  H-35 tanks. 

I will start this build with a VERY sandy covered Cromwell in 1/48 and after that I think I will shoot for a kitbash of the SuperSherman also in 1/48

I will get my son to build a 1/35 Supersherman {so I have a nice base to cheat...ah model after. 

Yep that a realy good site for IDF Vehicles. I just love all the stuff all over the MUTT-(Jeep)

Ok I have some New wip pix for yall. First I put the body together and started on the placement of the spare tire mount. It's near the rear of the jeep on the right hand side of the vehicle (Image):

I put a line where I need to cut a peace off for the mane tire clearance.

Now at this time I was looking over my wheels and thought why use wash to mark the holes in the wheels, I should just drill them out. So I did and they came out grate!!! The lower left corner I let one stay the way they came in the kit, witch one do you like?

Now for the spare I did the same but near the lugs there are two Inpressions for holes so they had to go to.

I know a lot of you mabe wondering just why is he jumping all over. I'm do some things that will need the same color of paint. Ka!? At this time I'm having a lot of fun.Some minutes after that, I hit rock bottom when I lost a part for the TOW base then I GOT MAD An said I will do better than the kit any way so I will make the part from scratch. I used K&S brass sheet .005 to make the handels (I rely don't know what there called). Here's the wip pix:

I thought "MAN THAT THING LOOKS GRATE" so what do you all think.

Oh and one more thing and I totley know that this is but I saw this on one of the IDF sites and thought I would ask you all the question that the one that put up this image asked. Ok the is the: Witch looks better the Girls the Ferrari or the Tanks.

 Let's see if we can get a better response!! As for me I know of a girl that builds model some times here an look just like the first girl in the pic. So you know wich I picked. The car  No the Girl.

Ok guys I'm going to stop for now till April 20. As I dont have a lot done but I got my self of the a good start. An I do think I'm going to do Mark. IV tank to as well as some M113s. once I get the tanks in. I know I should have not got'in started so soon man the little box was "calling me" Build me, Build me. It's hard to fight temptation. So that's it for now some thing to get your blood pumping.

I have a question will this project still be able to run in here sins I started it?

Hi all,

I'd be interested in coming aboard with either an Academy Merkava III or a Trumpeter Ti-67. I've never got around to building Israeli armour, so this is a great excuse!

R-34 -- the girls. Hands-down. There's lots of Feraris and Centurians in the world but every girl is a one-of-a-kind!

ah, the blonde and the Healy in the backround thank you very much.

I remember walking in the Ben Yehuda Mall with my wife and saw a tanker on a date, ah SHE was the tanker and carried an UZI, he was a ground pounder with an M -16, they must have got them real cheap since they were not using the Israeli Galil.

I will add the new people to the list when I get home from the hospital.  The internet connectionhere just isn't realiable enough to do the edit.  The admins are retarded here, trust me.

As for the girls, tanks, or car, well I enjoy all.  However I LOVE a tasty treat, especially with hands on.  I'll let everyone else determine exactly which one I meant by that.

Bump!

I've not heard anything since I offered a Merkava III or Ti-67 -- is this build set to go?

Hi Fantacmet,

Good heavens, family additions are probably the best reason of all for being away from one's workbench! You must be dropping with fatigue!

No worries -- I'll try to dig out that Merkava in the near future, and the Ti-67 will be in the mail before long.

Best wishes,

TB379

fantacmet man I wish you would move that date up I would love to work on my jeep. It's all I can think of right now and I'm having a hard time finishing my Vette projects because of my love of military models now. I have to work on something Green soon or I'm going to go nuts

lol the Dave Chappelle impersonation is hilarious! have you seen it?

I haven't been on FSM for a long, long time, over a year now, but am here now!  I'd love to join in, with a Trumpeter 1/35 Ti-67 also called the Tiran 5.  This is a captured T-55, upgraded by the Israelis.  The kit is started, but not much:

The suspension units attached.  Some parts added to the upper hull.  The hole in the base, for the switch (no plug for the hole!), filled in.  Don't know if it's no more than 10%, but it's not a lot anyway, hope this is OK.

Why Yes I have thats what I realy was watching at the time but jumped to that his show some where in the middle I think and he did it better than the real man. Thanks for giving me the guys nam As I didn't remeber it as well so I just put the rap-pers name. AHHHH yew The Dave Chappelle Show that guy is to much. We ever one on April 1 that's when I will start on all my Military models. As I'm at the end of some car builds at this time.
