I'm guilty of having half finished kits that do deserve better.......so count me in!

My AFV Club M18 will be finished as an early T70 GMC at a tank graveyard at the Anzio beach 1944. For those who posses the Concord book "US Tank Battles in North Africa and Italy" check page 51 for my inspiration.

This is how it looks now, with already some work done on the suspension and wheels to make it look like the picture in the Concord book I'm reffering to:



Now looking for a suitable PE set and some reference material for the interior of the model which is actually kinda disappointing.

Slow and steady progress on my entry.
Not exactly flying along,,but seeing as its sat in its box for over 6 months Im not really bothered by the speed of the progress,,Im just happy that this campaign has given me the incentive to get it finished!

At least every part of the figure has some paint on it finally!
Nige

LOL. That looks like my spare parts box.

Almost done.
The face is finished.
For my first figure Im very happy with it.


Nige

It's very nice, not just for a first figure.
It's just hard to get used to these heads stuck on a pole... Especially when the different facial expressions don't match up to the gruesome end these poor fellows met.

You dont want to see where the other bits are hanging!

Nige

Nearly finished.

Here is what I will enter, directly from "The wall of shame", My NM198. This is a Norwegian version of the M577, and the vehicle I have been commanding for the last four years. I guess I have some scratchbuilding left before I can call it finished...

Erik

Don't see a problem with signing up now at all. It's only to late after it over.

LOVE to see figures, ships, planes, tanks, trucks, cars, rail road - this is Great.

My 1st entry is a 12 pound field piece from the Civil War. Photos to come.

That will be fun. What colour scheme and markings are you going to use for yours?
Apparently this is a kit of the type of katusha that did not make it into service during WWII. I am planning on an Egyptian vehicle or early Cold war vehicle. However, I have not decided yet.

Have you thought about how to finish yours?

I couldn't decide between a Russian or Polish version at first, but I decided to go ahead and build it as Russian. I hope to get started on it this week. If not, I will be working on it next week for sure. I still have to finish up the M8 armored car that I am working on for the "Under New Management" campaign. Hopefully it will be done by this weekend.

I did not know the Poles had these. What kind of camouflage and markings did they have? Have you come across some interesting camouflage schemes in your research?

I will probably only start on this one after a few weeks as I am building several kits at the same time for other campaigns already.

hello Matt,

thx
Bruce

hi all! i got my rocket finished about a week and a half ago, but due to a big family wedding i'm only getting around to posting pics now. i'm glad this campaign happened because this little kit now has pride of place in my display cabinet, and has already become one of my favourites




and a sneak preview of my next entry, a pegasus junkers Cl1 limited run, injection/white metal kit. this may take a while.........

Adding those figures to the Rocket is a really nice touch.

hey all,
i got the pics for my project.i can post them in my photo gallery,but how do i post a pic in the reply's or the gallery area.i read thefaq's,but i have no idea what it means.httl or ur's or brackets or eieio 's.hopefuly some one can explain all this so can stop asking these questions .
thx
Bruce

To get an image in the campaign gallery simply go to the Gallery area
Login if you need to (check the login/out link on the top right- if it says login then you need to, if it says logout, you're ok)
and navigate to CampaignsCurrent...The Support Team For 40K
Then click the upload image link at the top right.

To get an image into a reply in a thread you have two choices.
1. Upload the image to your gallery (or the campaign gallery). View the image, you'll see two tags at the bottom of it one says UBB - click the copy buttton to the right of it. Start a post and paste (right click paste) that in.

2. Upload your image to another photo site (photobucket for example). View the image, and get the URL of the image. This is based on the photo site so it may be different. Youre looking for http://somewhere/image name.jpg. Get that.
Start a post click the image button below the post box (img). Paste in the URL

hello Scott,
thanks for the reply and info.you put it into simple english for me.i looked at the faq's and also sent a messiger to jim about the same thing.if i may give a suggestion about the faq's.not all of us speak computer,so maybe the faq's might be rewrote as the "faq's for dummies" style.
again thx for all your help
Bruce

Hi Jesper,

I haven't done any research other than what is printed on the instruction sheet.

For the Polish version it shows khaki as the overall color with just serial numbers and a license plate identifier.

The Russian version has dark gray-green as the overall color.

There isn't a camouflage paint scheme shown for the Russian or Polish version.

HARV

Where I stand as of now.

Jeff
Really impressive. Are you going to leave the top of the hull removable?

No Andras and Thanks for the Comment.

Good looking interior Jeff, gotta love the open top, forces you to focus on the interior details a whole lot more than just a few open hatches.

Thanks Scott Yes it does make you more aware of what can seen

Hope to have it done By Christmas or Early next Year.

Too many irons in the Fire right now.

Ok, after wrestling with the photo-gods for the last 30 min, only to find that kitmaker has a problem if I try to upload more than one pic at a time...

Pics of progress on the AFV Club 251D

But first.. a little background/introduction

Hi, I'm Mike and I have a 251 problem...





so it looks like I'm in the right place.

Many of those boxes look like these inside.
DML's 251D Falke

and AFV Club's -9


interior mostly built, painted, weathered, drybrushed usually with some aftermarket, added.

Like I'd posted to another thread , I've picked this thing up, after languishing like those others and blazed ahead in the last couple of days, we are now looking like this.


In the last 3 days, I've drybrushed the interior, added the upper hull, front and rear plates, and the interior bins. This is actually the first 251I've gotten so far as to actually add the upper hull to!

I've read a lot about building 251's but so far have not heard from anyone that the front seatbackrest is too long.
There is a locator notch in the front end of the rifle rack there on the right, and the left end is supposed to butt joint up against the rear bin.
But the padding section is too long and overlaps by 1.5 mm or so.
A lot of fiddling and cursing, double checking the directions, reference checking (WOW did DML get this area wrong in their kits..) and a little razor saw work, things stand as you see them now.
