What are you working on right now?

Afrika Korps VW (1/35)

BJ

 

Yes, I was. :cry:

I'm hoping it will turn up when I move out of home (this week)

 

I see. I'm hoping with you that it does.

 

I did not know the germans used VW's in the army in Afrika already??

 

It looks much like the VW resting under a pine tree near here. Gray primer, no windows and ruined interior. Yep, that's it alrighty.

 

Here, a cover illustration of VW

congrats with the birthday and the presents there!

 

Thank you.

 

You're most welcome.
But I DO expect pictures now !
good luck on the building.

 

1st model (Sherman) nearly finished.

No pics I'm afraid. I don't have the technology. And even if I did, I would be ashamed to exhibit them. Most of the guys here build & paint way out of my class.

 

I have an old (five years) digital camera I don't use anymore. Point and shoot (no picture screen in the back), plus cable (USB I think) and software CD-ROM. Cover the postage and bung in a fiver and it's yours if you're interested. PM me with your address.
There's a case (soft but will fit on a belt) and an extra card for storing photos. It's not great but I started with it (£150!!! when I bought it) and it's served well...

That used to be my attitude, until one day someone asked my friend who is a professional figure painter (came 2nd in GW's Golden Demon once or twice) if he'd painted some WWII infantry I was using. I did them!! Was walking on clouds for a week.
Show us, we want to see...

 

Don't be. I'd like to see your work.

P.S: Most guys here are way above me too!

 

I started a Bereznyak-Isayev BI rocket jet interceptor kit that I picked up at the Flying Legends show at Duxford. It is a very manky kit, with badly-moulded, badly-fitting componants, but it was only £1, and I'm just using it to get my eye in again after a while without modelling.

I have a new (and good) digital camera - but no PC to download on at home. That is next on our list...

 

oh, come on, we are just average guys, just a little more experience,
but do you want to se the pros?

then tell us if we are like them,( i'm affraid not but we enjoy what we do and very proud of our work )

 

I have recently completed my Stummel. Will share pictures as soon as I have them.
Don't be ashamed about your work now, david! We all started once, and only because of showing and learning we became better. It's a process of learning. Take a look (if you have the time) in the "modelling pics" section. You can see my first painted models were crap too, yet I posted, got criticized, and got better. The Panther G and Sturmtiger still head my collection so far. But it's really not that hard! So come on, show us! You might get better because of showing eventually.

 

With my recent move I have not only lost all my model supplies, but I my models as well! My Tirpitz is gone, my 1/35 Northern France battle scene, everything. It is a horrible thing I tell you! :cry:

You should see some of my models that were all hand painted with a brush, this was before I heard of the sprays. As long as its all in one piece thats what counts.
