believe it or not, it's true - i started with that kit. unfortunately the batteries of my camera died to a point of being beyond recharcheable, so no photos yet. i started with step 7 - the hull. i'm not very enthusiastic about the fit of some parts, some due to me not paying enough attention...

i just found a page where they sell DVDs with 360° walkarounds of afv interiors - looks pretty cool to me. up to now only swedish and german afvs are covered but no one knows what the future brings: http://www.afv-interiors.com i hope this is useful to some of you :cheer:

this morning i stumbled over this interview with Johannes Steinhoff - great stuff and great insights from a fighter ace! The Interview a man to be remembered! enjoy!

well, here are my entry pics with time and date: the pe shield will be quite some challenge but i'm looking forward to that!

i admit it - i found myself watching top gear lately, not for the cars but for the fun those three dudes clarkson/hammond/may make ... one of my alltime favorites is the challenge Range Rover vs Challenger MBT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=-wKfpPrRVIo and that one is also...

well - let's see if this build will reach any stage beyond the datepic. *sigh*

started this kit as little distraction last monday, found no further time until today and this is where i am at the moment ... Stendal Blast - Der spanische Mond :soldier

first day of quosm, here we go ... my entry pics: :soldier

with quosm starting next sunday i'm under pressure to move on with my convoy, so i started the tamiya opel blitz in 1/35 scale this morning - first act, very first act was to cut my thumb with my trusty #11 *sigh* ... after a break (vegetable patch work and walk in the park with rudy :mpup !) i...

while tirpitz is still on hold (have to buy 30 more meters of fibre optics before i can continue) i decided to build the first of three opel blitz, the quarterscale one, the braille kit is reserved for quosm in april ... started today at 2pm and decided to stop at 3pm or i would be done with...

look what i just found - an interesting german training video for panther tanks ... in fact i had found the video some moons ago but failed to post it, a blunder now corrected: original german version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyfAV6O3Wh4 with english comments...

still fighting my hangover ( :java ) nothing could have stopped me from doing my date shots for my entry - the plan is to depict Tirpitz in a norwegian fjord, a huge shadowbox with forced perspective! i can't tell yet if i will suceed in my plan but i'll try my very best and surely will go...

well ... with the little time i have for modelling, this small project was all i could do over the last week! most time was waiting time - 24h for each coat of glue (x2) and paint (x1) ... ... simulating a sunken ship is surprisingly easy and the effect quite convincing ... the photos don't do...

well ... time to combine my HGWT, MT4W and Plane Busting entries into one simple diorama! inspiration came from this pic: please note the number plate and compare with my halftrack from HGWT! while working on my krupp protze i thought "why not combine everything and widen out the dio? not...

Post your finished entries in here to claim your ribbon! ribbon: Note: Updated by Tanktrax to show new ribbon.

or ... as the first designation was Panzer III (t) Ausf. B! september 1st - what better date can be to make the first post for the entry of this campaign! :bgrin my apologies first, i had planned much more entries in 'Blitzkrieg' but too much on the plate and in the pipe forces me to...

well, my krupp protze needs something to tow! the dateshots: :soldier

okok ... with HAGWT almost finished (tools 'n figures still to be done) i promised a Panzer38(t) Ausf. B as my next build to several peoples but since my planned dio for HGWT would be perfect for a second vehicle, this campaign being close to the last two months and plane busting as another...

first the Cyber-Hobby "exclusive", then the Trumpeter announcment and now we have this DML announcment! was predictable somehow! news that make me very, very happy although i most probably will get me the trumpeter kit due to the better tracks ... so i will face a déjà vu like with the Dicker...

i found this in an amateur video from 1941, the bf-109 was part of a propaganda exhibition called "Wehr und Sieg" that took place in spring 1941. has anybody of you ever noticed a luftwaffe swastika like that on a plane tail? saúl aka walking encyclopedia maybe?
