Bobs_Buckles Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hello all, Due to a severe lack of interest in building aircraft I've gone an got me a Tamiya German 1/48 Flakpanzer IV. I figure that it don't matter if I man-vegetables it up cos it ain't my normal genre. My need to be anal will be diminished. Let the fun times begin! Flakker Bob I will post pictures when my virgin is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobs_Buckles Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Go for it Bobby Armored Pants next time though for a kit Get a nice piece of Modern Armour Sean Leopard Driver Sean, Me old fruit. I don't know the meaning of modern. The only thing that one likes about modern living is Computers, ipods, fishnets, neck high boots, hairy armpits, and forums where I can talk normal...man-vegetables, I mean.. My next lump of armour will probably be my modified cod piece... Bobby :fish:net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snipersmudge Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 well i'm looking forwards to your build bob, the 1'48th tamiya stuff is ace just out the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Well me old darlings, I've managed to get cracking with my first lump of armour. It's early doors but she is taking shape real easy like. I would guess that all the little odds and sod should be added at the last knockings? The tracks were a wee bit fiddly to assemble, but with the patience of a sloth I managed to tickle them into order. more to come. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Looking good Bob.We'll make a trteadhead of you yet mate. Regards Daz Cheers Dazzy, I can certainly see the attraction. Booby Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hello Dazzy, Small update for you. I can't fault the way this model is going together. It has been a pure pleasure. Got most of the hull done and the gun assembly is near complete. Drilled out the barrels and cleaned the muzzles with Tamiya Extra thin cement. The fun part will be when I screw up the paint job... But to be truthful I don't give a monkeys, it's my first lump and hopefully not my last. cheers. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh! dear!Looks like I've got competition then. I wouldn't say that me old m8.

Bennygman Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Looking good Bob - great work on those gun barrels! Funnily enough that's the exact kit that nearly tempted me over to the 'dark side' too. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hello All, I've got most of the base coat down. Need to hand paint bits and bobs in the pit.
