  1. Hi All, here’s my latest (unusually quick) OOB 70’s old school Tamiya build. I had an absolute blast on this and everything went fine until the last knockings. I tried hairspray followed by a thin coat of Tamiya buff as the first stage of the dirt weathering. Unfortunately (and I’m not sure why) the hairspray went white; perhaps the Klear coat underneath reacted(?) As a result, the weathering is a bit err, heavy. I also noticed that the sprockets drifted a bit out of line, meaning the tracks are a bit squiffy at the front. I was pretty sure I fixed them together correctly, but it’s something to watch if you tackle this otherwise simple kit. As I say, it was pretty much completely out of the box – rubber tracks, kit figures etc. The only things I changed were to add a bit of fender damage, drill out the machine guns and the headlights – Molotow liquid chrome refill paint followed by drops of gorilla clear glue. It was really nice to get progress quickly. I know there are issues with this kit, but not having every internal component and thanks to Tamiya's clever engineering it was great fun - and it looks like a panzer IV so I'm happy. Weathering is oil paints, ground up pastels and a bit of graphite. I tried fixing the mud pastels using white-spirit wash mixes of burnt umber and Naples yellow to get a bit of colour variation and I think it worked pretty well. This was a lovely distraction, and completed in record time for me, but I really need to knuckle down and get my scratchbuild back on track. There again, I do have another old school Sherman in my stash (such as it is)........hmmm.
  2. I built this kit using Part photoetched for detailing, OKB Grigorov's tracks, RB Models gun and some scratchbuilding. I hope you like it
  3. Good afternoon all! I an in Seattle Washington, USA. I like the 1/16 because it is large enough to detail without a microscope, yet small enough so that you do not need to build an addition to your house to display it. Those Tiger IIs are truly impressive. I have bought one of the Trumpeter 1/16 Pz IV H models and intend to build it doing as much detailing as is possible. After the Pz IV H I would like to build the tiger and if there is a Pz III N that would be sweet! I am primarily Tiger I and Pz III fan and have an extensive collection of books, DVDs, etc. on these subjects. Now I need the get myself some Pz IV references so that I might start my build. Panzer Tracts has not released their Pz IV book yet. I have the Meng AFV Modeler subscription. What other references would you recommend top me? This will be a very long build and my lovely assistant, Kristi, and I are looking forward to starting it soon. Thank you for the help and have yourself a good day! Brian and Kristi
  4. All Below are some pics of the first batch of German AFVs I've built since returning to the hobby. As with my British submission these are all quick build kits. As you'll see they're not up to much compared to a lot of what's on here, my German camo needs more work and the weathering was is a bit hit and miss but I've got to start somewhere!! Any observations, comments and constructive criticism will be gratefully received. Andrew PS in addition to the models below I got 2 Armourfast leFH 28s and a Zvedza 88 that need finishing off at some point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Plastic Soldier Company Sdkfz251 - 4 variants This was the second kit I bought when starting up again and for me it was a great buy. I'm never going to be building vast quantities so the opportunity to build several different versions was appealing. The kit comes with 4 models and you can build 4 x 251/D halftracks or one each of 251/8 Mortar Carrier, 251/9 Stummel, 251 /16 Flamm and 251/7 Pioneer - or a combination thereof. It also comes with 37 crew and a huge amount of spare equipment and stowage - which with having absolutely none to start with a big bonus and some of it generic enough to work on Allied vehicles I ended up mounting the mortar and crew on a very impromptu plastic base rather than mount on one of the vehicles. I also now realise that their uniform tops/smock are should probably be the camo variety but being naive I was following the box art. Needless to say I will be revisiting the base....but it was my first attempt. Amourfast Pz IV G Below is a pic of one of two I have built but the weathering didn't quite work as I was hoping. This one has some stowage from S and S Models on it. Armourfast Stug III This is one of the two I have. For some reason I didn't put any stowage on, so they look a bit bare.... Armourfast Panthers x2 These were actually built by my young daughter. She also did the tarpaulin on the back made from tissue paper covering sprue off-cuts. You'll also notice the lack of weathering and additional stowage. They are sort of her's and she didn't want them looking all cluttered and dirty!! She is a girl after all!! The figures are taken from PSC's German figure and stowage pack - if there are any newbies out there like me with a lack of stowage and crew, then the kit isn't a bad buy. The cupola mounted MGs were spares from Armourfast German MG Team pack. The brackets to mount them were made two of my plastic aerials glued together to make them stronger, sanded down to make them smooth, cut to length and bent slightly.
  5. Some nice stuff, the PZ IV looks impressive. https://www.facebook.com/TrumpeterModel/photos/pcb.365946200230646/365945470230719/?type=1&theater
