badger Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've gotta be a bit mundane with the Tamiya 1/35 T34/76 "1943 Production", but this is the only armor kit I currently have (and will be my very first ever tank). Probably gonna build straight OTB but you never know what PE/resin impulse buys may happen in the next couple months, especially since my PE folding jig arrived today. If nothing else I'd recommend a RB models metal gun barrel. For a couple of pounds they make a huge improvement, especially if your kit barrel is split in two pieces, as there are no seams to clean up. I use them on all my builds!

Ben I was definitely considering a metal barrel and will probably add that if nothing else. If do add any PE it will be my first experience with it, so I'm a little hesitant, but who knows?

D1fuN0 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hiya K I can add the dates, I just wanted to give a basic idea. If enough of the chaps give the nod, then I can modify it for final use Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caszerino Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Oh man, I really like that one! Looks like a mirrored Panzer Assault Badge with a Tiger I instead of a Pz.III! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hey Nimrod, How do you make your signature change like that? Looks great. I did it using this http://www.gifmaker.me/ (its free) and just follow the on screen instructions. 1. Upload the files you want to use 2. Save the file. 3. Import into the site you use for posting photos and post as normal I have mine set at 400 x 100 so that I don't fall foul of the signature rules and I have set the time at 2000 millisecs.

caszerino Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Just a quick question - are we clear to wear GB banners in our sigs while (or even before) we're participating in a GB? I just instinctively thought you had to be finished with it first but I'm guessing that's not the case. Just wanted to be sure before I did a faux pas!

D1fuN0 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Caszerino Yup, you can attach the GB banner now, go ahead. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszerino Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Excellent, will do! Cheers. **EDIT: The endless restrictions on images in sigs are very frustrating. Edited January 17, 2015 by caszerino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks to everyone on complimenting the badge design. The Panzer Assault Badge does indeed have a Tiger I enclosed within a wreath, and I put the GB monogram in place of the eagle/swastika. The vehicle facing was the result of the Tiger photo incorporated into the graphic - couldn't justifiably flip the image since many of it's recognizable details are asymmetrical and just wouldn't look right. --------------------------------------------- Using animated gif to display badges is a great idea, or you can also collage them together and shrink them down like I've done with my entries for this year's group builds. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
