Today's package had these (for review):

AVGP Grizzly

Krupp Steyr Waffenträger (more science in this one than the Panzerjäger E-100)

Looking forward to seeing more of that Waffentrager, Saul!

 

[jknaus]

Cool stuff Saul.

 

[Leopard2]

Nice choice Laura. Now that you got this big boat maybe we should have a Navy Campaign .

Saul, when are you going to start the Grizzly? The Waffentraeger can wait.

Joe, these kits are for review. While I wish there were a UN or multi-wheel campaign to enter it in, this is the one that will wait for detail sets to show. Real Models has some.

As for the Waffentraeger, this may be my Sci-Fi Mulligan as it is a simple but nicely done kit.

Well, I finally managed to get my 1/72 scale Dora! Here it is:

Inside the box it is well packaged. The largest pieces are in their own boxes, as well as the tracks and P/E:

Going deeper, we find the instruction 'novel' and the color call out sheet:

This is the little side box opened up. It includes counterweights!

And finally, everything else:

Wow, this will be one scary, yet exciting model to build! I'll most likely be starting this in a few months; I want to finish my armored train first.

 

[jknaus]

Awesome. I find this gun so interesting. Looking forward to the build.

[moon puppy]

Holy Cow Mark! When do we start?

This one may slow ya down a bit..

 

[paddy]

You are a braver man than me ..there is one of them in my local model shop window ......

While we're on the topic of "big", I did but one of these from a pal- it came with a butt-load of PE as well.

 

[kryptosdaddy]

Thats nice, i wish we had a big local like that- ours is a tiny two room deal with no display room!

I got in the new Dealing with Photo-Etch with Adam Wilder DVD. This is for review.

It is over 90 minutes long and seems to have been collaborated with Aber as the logo on the lower left shows.

[kryptosdaddy]

can you give us a review here, or is that out of contract?

 

[jknaus]

Ooohhhh I'd be interested in hearing what you think Saul.

I am freelance so the review will be here as well as other sites.

So far, I have only seen the introduction. Adam doesn't seem natural in front of the camera. Talking through a smile makes for an uneasy appearance. However, the DVD isn't about his actions in front of the camera but about his techniques with photo-etched.

That name sounds familiar...was that someone we met back at AMPS in April Saul?

Mike, Adam is the one that did not show up for Rick Lawler's Mig Productions booth.

[Jeeves]

Ahh...that's right. Well...Rick and John did a heckuva job without him
