coolhand Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Hi, Think I would like to get in on this one. Got a Trumpeter 1/35 KV 1s I have been wanting to have a go at. I'm fairly sure this is not a 'paper project', would anybody be able to confirm this? This is going to be my first proper tank build and my first time using pigments for weathering, so could prove interesting. Cheers Andy Edited December 14, 2014 by coolhand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Chaps (and chapess). No problem with scenic bases, as long as it doesnt detract attention away from the subject. Steve I was planning to cover my T34 in snow! Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Well this might be my opportunity to build the Meng Char 2C I bought last year. Although they never really saw any action in WWII, they were participants and one was captured by the German's and put on display in Berlin as a war trophy.

PlaStix Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 (edited) My original plan for what I was going to build for this GB might be going astray a bit. It turns out the online model shop I'd ordered an Eduard set from, for the kit I'd planned to build, did not to have the set in stock despite claiming to have four on Amazon! Anyway almost a month after waiting for the shop to get one in stock it still hasn't arrived! So I'm going to try these two - This one I'm planning to make when I'm not at home: I'm sticking with 1/72 for this one and with a Dragon kit as I've made two before. It looks good in the box and hopefully it will be a good one to build. It was a little expensive but it was the only one I could find at the time. This one will be built where I don't have access to all my normal equipment so I hope I can do it justice. I'm also hoping to try my first 1/48 AFV build with this kit: I know there are a couple of issues with the accuracy in places but, for £11.99, you get a lot of plastic and some PE. I would also like to build a 1/48 Tiger alongside this, possibly for a little diorama, but I'm struggling to get one. Like with the PE set, I did have a suitable AFV Club Tiger on order with a big online retailer but it turned out they didn't have it in stock despite claiming it was. Then they claimed they could get one from their supplier but actually couldn't. I shall have to try to get one in the new year. I hope the two above are okay? Kind regards, Stix Edited December 25, 2014 by PlaStix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'll confirm my entry. In 1/48th either a KugelBlitz or the Su100 based Su-122P with the long gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hellllloooooooooooooooooooo chaps Compliments of the season, im back off my holidays... Looks like theres going to be some nice models coming out of this GB... My Initial choice was something Japanesy, or possibly one of the Hungarian jobbies.... (just to be different) But if i cant find something suitably different, then ill stick with the Bronco A34 Comet with the Legends upgrade set.

wimbledon99 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Having never built a 1/72 AFV (this GB being the perfect excuse) and wanting something 'different', I'm hoping this will fit the breif. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Morning Chaps Ok, so we have a little over a month to go before the kick off of the GB, so can we start getting a list together of Participants and what you'd like to build. I'll go through all the posts and make up a list of what we have so far, but if you havent given your build choice and confirmation you will be participating, could you just let us know... Dont worry, your build choices are not cast in stone, if you change your mind its no biggie, Mine will proably change at least half a dozen times. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi, and morning to you too Steve, To save you looking for mine; I intend to try to build the Airfix 1/32 Rommel's Halftrack - thats the positive one. If I get the time I'll also build an Academy 1/35 M18 Hellcat or maybe a Tamiya 1/35 Grant - not sure which to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Plan at the moment is Bronco's Italian tankette, with conversion to a radio/command tank using Brach Models resin kit. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'll be building the dragon 1/72 Churchill mk iv with some ab figures crew and a change of decals to represent a tank in France 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
