I just wonder what the price will be compared to the real thing? Panther track on Ebay They really get you on the shipping

I finished the weathering with the oils. Now I will do some washes to enhance the shadows. Since I used oils it will need to dry for quite some time. I am trying a new technique (at least to me) I like to refer to as anti-drybrushing. I mix some oils to a good shade of dust using some dark...

I received one of my PE sets for this today. I will not be using every piece of PE as some are not applicable to this version and honestly sometimes the plastic is better detailed. Still working on the road wheels. Got one side done! :S

Did you get the ModelCollect 1/72 BMP-3? I would really like to see one of those built

Did you see the one about 45 seconds in? Reminded me of a dog jumping in the water going after a stick.

I started on the road wheels today. These are really nicely detailed with detailed ribbing on the rubber and nice nut and bolt detail. There is an unavoidable problem though. Where do you attach the wheel to the sprue? Some of the rib detail is covered at this point. I cut the wheel from the...

And all others, Thanks Just on the off chanceI checked Luckymodel for my BMP-3 tracks (they did not have them yesterday) and they had them in stock for $26 with free shipping! Instantly placed the order. They are made by Miniarm and I have seen good reviews of them. They are resin but have...

I ordered a PE set on the 26th on ebay and it was supposed to arrive today. I checked the status and it hasn't even shipped yet. :vmad. Seller hasn't been responsive. 1st bad experience on ebay.

I have had this one in the stash for awhile and I really wanted to build it. Looks like I will get my chance now. I am going to get about an hour a day during my lunch break to work on it so the progress should be slow but steady. I also have some PE and metal barrel on order and I may get...

I have a 1/48 Marder III I started a few week ago. Would it be cool if I added it to the campaign? I see that there are a few already. I am thinking of doing it in the Afrika scheme. Here is a bad picture of where it stands now. These are very quick builds Thanks, Dennis

Put me down for a BMP-3 please B)

Very interested in watching this one. Been on my want list for awhile now. I will be joining you with a modern Russian build tomorrow with a BMP-3. Dennis

Here is my first attempt at figure painting. This is really small! I was using an optivisor when painting it and was getting very frustrated because it just didn't look right. I took the optivisor off and I was suddenly quite happy with the face. I did some detail painting and I will do some...

Thank you everyone! I do a lot of my construction at work during my lunch hour. This guy is ready to make the trip home today for the final stages. I am going to hollow out the headlights, add the antenna and attempt to do the figure. This will be my first attempt at a figure so if you never...

While I am working on my Panzer 38 weathering I wanted to get another kit under construction. I went with another Tamiya 1/48 Panzer II. This is a really good little kit. Only complaint is that the springs for the suspension are molded onto the hull. I will work around this. The tracks are...
