Guest snipersmudge Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Hi all, here's a picture of what I'm planning to build for the GB. both in 1/35Th scale and tamiya. Mk1 Merkava and Japanese light armoured vehicle with figures. The merkava is a tank i have always admired but never built so this is a first for me. I'm planning to detail it a little. the Japanese vehicle is going to get the voyager etched set thrown at it and a small dio built for it and the figures I am in the proses of gathering information and pictures for the builds and working out if i should build both together or separately. cheers Pete Edited July 5, 2008 by snipersmudge
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Well I'm in with this: I've got a box of spare parts for it as well (thanks Sean) Might build something else as well, we'll see how things go.
T-Tango Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Count me in with this one, hopefully done in the Gulf War colour scheme. AFV Club 1/35 Scorpion.
Guest snipersmudge Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 great builds guys, the NZ lav looks interesting pete

And wouldn't you know it, I picked up that figure set today myself Was thinking of picking up a suitable kit to pose them around at Fairford.

T-Tango Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Now what shall I build hmmmmmmmmmm................................................................................................................ Daz used to be indecisive, now he just can't make his mind up. :rofl:
Guest snipersmudge Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Nev, cheers i have some pictures of the vehicle but you can never have enough references. Daz i don't think it's a question of what you build but how many with your supersonic build rate! pete

bexwh773 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Bex does a military vehicle? shock horror!! lol, great choice bex and looking forwards to seeing the build. pete I did say I wasnt feeling well I might as well build something Ive actually driven and dossed in many a time, and what better way to build my first WheelyThingy than in a GB. Thanks for the chance Pete Bex
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Is this the kit you made me swear that I'd never tell anyone you had in the stash sis? The step, one little step into the dark, come on you know you want to.....
bexwh773 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 That be the one Sis You know I wondered how long it would take for the p*ss taking to start a bit longer than I than thought Go forth and let the barrage commence, Im well defended in my Naughty Corner Bunker Bex
timraven1992 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I made that Bedford for a diorama last year , IIRC the fit was fairly good and it marked one of my first "wheely thingys"! I wasn't very apt at masking at the time and the one piece clear upper cab piece came out a bit crap However I'm sure you'll make a good job of it! Have fun Bex! Cheers Tim
T-Tango Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 The Scorpion arrived today, so it's all systems go, go, go.
Dave Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Nice Pete. Gonna build it as a Kiwi version with Merdc camo?
Guest snipersmudge Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 it's a nice kit the scorpion, i'm itching to start my builds roll on sunday!!
Derbyeomanry Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Might well make a start on Tamiya 1/48 M10 straight OOB - first build in ages
CPNGROATS Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I would like to join this "merry band" with my first all resin armor kit, that is, a M26A1 Pershing, 1/72, from Tracks & Troops. The prototype used by the U.S.Army during the Korean war. Cheers, ggc
