D1fuN0 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Howdy chaps Well we are rapidly approching month 1 gone of the GB, everyone seems upto there eyeballs in tracks and associated bits. Some excellent and fantastic work seen thus far and I cant wait to see how some of the builds turn out. Im even thinking of squeezing in a 1/72nd scale build as well, just for a laugh Keep up the good work and HAVE FUN!!! ps - if you are starting any other GB's in the next few days,(like me) remember, we are more important than any of those fluffed up wingy thing types Keep the faith Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 articulated AFV/tank paint holder type contraption.... anyone use one? saw a review on here and tempted but thinking only good if no interior? any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm amazed at the number of 1/72 builds - not since I was a kid have I tackled armour that small although to be fair the standard of kits seems better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06/24 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 At PlaStix suggestion, and if you guys will allow, can I include my PSC Loyd Carriers and 6 pounder guns in the GB? I only started them yesterday, but I've stuck the WIP in the armour section (having not really been aware of the GB before), oh and there's a Dragon Tiger I might build for them to shoot at! http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234977913-peashooter-and-puller-distraction-quick-build/#entry1918616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand they were shown in another thread in full, but i dont think its fair on the chaps that have started from scratch in the GB. Sorry mate Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Ok, don't want to cause any upset. Are you happy the WIP thread stays where it is or do you want me to ask the mods (nicely) if they'll move it back where it started from? I won't post the results in the GB gallery either way.

D1fuN0 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi Jon Nah, im sure it'll be fine where it is, some nice building in there to inspire everyone else (including me ) Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 would anyone mind if I submitted a build to this AND the french fancy GB. I have a Pz IV that has FFI markings (Dragon kit) so would, i assume fit in both GBs (not sure if it was used during or just after WWII anyone know - ie would he markings fit in to this GB?)

D1fuN0 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hellloooooooooooo Everyone. I know I've been very naughty and been very scarce, but work and my PC crashing have not been making life very easy.... Anyhoo, PC now in happy land again, and im baaaaack would anyone mind if I submitted a build to this AND the french fancy GB.

Hi Rob, sorry that i coudnt answer you sooner. I dont see a problem with a Pz IV in Free French markings. They did use all manner of stuff during the the war that was captured or nicked so a definate yes. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve thanks Steve - will see how I go - believe the FF would need zimmerit to be accurate so most likely going with a German version just in this GB....

Rob G Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Looks like I'll have to bail out on this GB lads, life appears as if it's going to get very busy over the next couple of months. Makes me a little sad actually, as I'd decided on a Selbstfahrlafette für 3.7 cm Pak 36 auf Renault UE(f), mixing Tamiya, Dragon and Royal Model bits. Ah well, next time. http://militarymodels.co.nz/2011/07/06/i-knew-i-should-have-bought-that-cheap-tamiya-renault-ue-at-model-x/ and here http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/207766-selbstfahrlafette-f%C3%BCr-37-cm-pak-36-auf-renault-uef-early-conversion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sorry for the lack of updates on my two builds chaps/chapesses, but I have finally sorted the paint for the JS-2, so I should be back on with them soon. I bought a Lifecolor set but the final colour for 4BO looked way too grey to me. So having checked back over the links provided by SleeperService and Troy Smith I have decided to use Humbrol enamel (mixes of 116,117 and 150) on this one.. Meanwhile the hull and turret of the KV-1 has received the sand base colour, I just need to check on the camouflage pattern for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I can't believe there's only two weeks (luckily 3 weekends!!!) left in this GB!! I've been enjoying myself so much that the time has just flown by! I've had a great time and I've still got a fair bit to do! I've got 4 tanks basically complete and I thought I'd share a photo of the four of them - the fifth tank I'm working on is still in bits! The photo is not great quality - the light wasn't good but you'll get the idea! There's already amazing builds in the gallery - so good luck to everyone who's still working away - I'm looking forward to seeing those yet to be completed! Kind regards, Stix Edited May 15, 2015 by PlaStix 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Further to my post above: One week left!!!! Two weekends!!!! An update of the photo above: Good luck to everyone still trying to get something finished!! It'll be mostly figures and possibly base boards for me!! Kind regards, Stix 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Having had a look through the gallery there are so many great builds. I'm hoping to be able to look through all the build threads at some point, longer work hours and other commitments have meant that every spare moment went into modelling (90% of it just on my Sherman). This is by far my longest continuous build, 4 months instead of my usual couple of weeks! Now it's done I can hopefully get some pace up on my builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
