What are you working on right now?

Hi Frank,

welcome to the forums. You've really made some astonishing models there. I'm very impressed!

Tomgrey, glad to see you've finished the Stug. It became a very nice one! Especially the tin can in the hand of the commander

Great work both of you!

 

The only thing I've been working on on the modelling front of late is trenchwork for a trench raiding game a mate of mine spotted. Trenches are done, We just have to find time to actually try out the game.

Other than that too much time spent of the computer writing (or trying to ) to get anything else done.

 

Good! Get that work finished so I can read it!

 

Second draft is nearly done. Five chapters and 40,000 words longer than the first draft.

Next stop find a publishers; that will be fun. :-?

 

This is the 1/48 sherman I finished up a few months ago. Just got around to taking some pictures of it. probably on of my best tanks so far...

 

Good job!

 

wow!!!
that is very good

 

Oh wow, that is a beaut!

I've always wanted to do a Calliope...

 

Impressing size! Nice job, but a little bit pale to me...perhaps the photos...
Grats anyway!

Ps: Do you sleep with her too?

 

Im not going to lie to you tom ... some times i do lol. no but really i kinda went for a sun bleached look with the weathering... I probably over did it thou.. and thanks for your comments

 

No prob! Me too...

 

I'm doing a LaGG-3 as a present for a friend's birthday. I'm doing a mini-diorama, and I'll post pics here when I'm done.

 

Awesome job on the Calliope.Who makes that kit?I've never been able to find one.

 

Thanks Sturm ... the Caliope is made my Verlinden

Snowdrops in Hell _ 44/45 Belgium, Germany


So here are the first pics about the 1:35 Zvezda M3 Scout...60%...base paint with a limited weathering, aging...need to correct some mistakes... (This kit is one of the worst of my life! I dont recommend to anyone...)

The figures came from the Dragons 101st AB / Bastogne w/ Verlinden heads...needs some corrections

The Ma' Deuce and .30cal is an Academy made...US machine guns set...very very recommended... the .50 cal is altogether 15 parts with the mounting and ammobox!!!!!

 

Impressive.

What are the particular troubles you had with the kit?

 

You do some seriously nice detail work,tomgrey.You've got to get involved in the next Group Build.

 

Particular problems?? There weren't particular problems. The FULL kit a problem...

Fixing problems, unlogical parting, some places the plastic was too thin, the glus melt it (? right word?), moulding mistakes...a lot!

To tell the truth the kit is very old, so dont expect too much...

ST wait until I finished...in this moment there is not much detailing in it.

The biggest prob is that I cant find an exact division numbering, marking for it...

 

I was mostly referring to the figures.They are excellant.

 

I'll be putting the finishing touches on a 1/35 DML Panther Ausf. D.I'll send PP some pics to post in a few days.I must say this was a great kit.Especially the indy links.No flash whatsoever and they fit together perfectly.
