Re:My Dicker Max! Update 16.12.2009 I'm with you Laura; it looks so good that I wouldn't hide that beautiful gray with a whitewash! Ruben

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 Hi fellow modelers! After some time of inactivity (on the forum not on the hobby.) it is time to show some progress in here. So let me show you what I've been doing. First the base. Then the figures. And everything put together...

Ah! Nothing like scratch building to transform a regular kit into a masterpiece. Ruben

Re:My Dicker Max! Update 15.12.2009 See? I knew you could do it!! The fenders in my Sdkfz 165 also have alignment problems so maybe Dragon is not doing them right. Good work as always. Ruben

Lawrence. Forget the 2mm discrepancy. No one is going to criticize you for that! Sometimes we are our worst critics!

Re:My Dicker Max! Come on Laura! Finish it even if you have to resort to the old "tarp hiding the unwanted gap" trick. (But frankly I don't think you'll have to get that far.) :)

Hello fellow modelers. I needed a rest from the regular modeling so I decided to embark in some scratch building just for the fun of it. And what more fun than building a tank? So taking hold of my stash of Plastruct pieces I proceeded. Here are some photos of the process and the almost...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 Well guys here's a little more progress. I applyed the only decal that goes in the vehicle and did some weathering in the outside. I also painted the tow cable using with Vallejo Panzer Gray and rubbed a coat of graphite powder on top of...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 Hello my friends. Here's another update on Howard albeit a small one. I painted the Accessories in the turret interior like canteens, mess kits, gas mask canisters and the like. I also did some peels around with a mechanical pencil and some...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 It's time for another update While the paint dried I painted the tracks; I gave them a coat of black primer followed by a dry brushing with steel paint. Then painted the road wheels and reassembled the lower hull. the weathering of the hull...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 Richard, Jenny, Noel, Laura, Ben and Erik; thanks! You are right I've been flying through this build but it is because this kit, even with the instructions mistakes, is a pleasure to build. :cheers: Erik, I didn't even noticed that there...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 Continuing with the build I proceed to put the rear air intakes (or exhausts) in place. Next, the upper hull was assembled. To ease with the painting process I glued the fenders to the upper hull so all this can be glued in one piece instead...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 Continuing with the build I did the muffler and the rear vents. The muffler I attached to the hull but left the rvents for latter as they should align with the sides of the top of the hull. Next was the interior floor and the ammo bins which...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 I said this was started so let me show you some progress! First of course, the hull and suspension. The front tow points and the covers for the final drive. The rear wall and the track "tensioners". (Is that a word? :p ) The road...

Re:Ruben's Pz.Sfl.IVb 10.5 le.FH.18/1 Sd.Kfz. 165/1 I'm going to declare this build officially Started. Ruben

Here's my entry for the group build. It will be an out of the box project because sometimes you have to take it easy. :P Ruben

I had to, I still have a group build to finish and I can't let you guys have all the fun! No way Jose!! :laugh:

Good to know that the gang is getting together.

Hi everyone! I'm back for more modeling madness here at TnT. Although I'll need some time to get used to the new place; I feel like a rookie at tank school. And is good to see that everybody is here again!! ;) Ruben
