Rob G Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Righty-o then! Here's my entry for this wee GB. Not starting until later today, but I thought I'd better do the drudge work while I had a chance. The Roden box tops are more funner, but this'll do. Box front. Box rear. I'll be doing the Gebirgsjaeger version, as I liked the camo (and if it falls flat or I run out of time, I can cheat and do the plain Dunkelgelb version ) As is apparently typical for Italeri, the colour callouts between the instruction sheet and the box made no sense, so I spent more time working out paint requirements yesterday than I think I will spend on the build. Then I went and bought bottles of paint, because I didn't have anything remotely close. Parts trees. All there (all 65 bits of it). The instructions have but 6 steps, so I think I'm in with a chance here. More when I kick off! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Ektuerlly Cliff, it's a rotten, 'orrible choice. Flash out the wazoo (that light, annoying type of flash) and nothing quite fits (although I may before I'm done) due to tiny amounts of mould misalignment. That's what I get for being a smartypants, I guess. Meanwhile, food calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Meanwhile, food calls. I refer the right honourable gentleman to his earlier response; "Feed and water? It's only 24hrs chaps, you can survive for that long without stopping. No retreat, no surrender!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Are you a Man or a Mouse Sir?? Stiffen your back and return fortified with a steely glint in your eye and it will be achieved in short order. Hope it goes better for you soon.

Rob G Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Life's too short to deal with this sort of thing in the name of fun. It's all back in the box and may actually be the first kit I ever chuck out. Not that it's that bad, I just have other things that are more fun/important to do. Ironically, I was going to do an Italeri Predator as a second build. Should've made that my first choice, however no time now, I'm off to work.
