Hello, surprised to see this little group on the web. My name is Albert Labrador, been an armor modeller on and off for roughly 20 years. Great to see other like minded individuals. My favorites are late WW2 German Armor. just wanted to add my name hear seeing as how precious few modellers there are these days.

Hi Guys,

QC near GMA 7. Useful for me dahil MRT access is essential for trips to model stores.

Alo! 20 years? Guess you're one of the senior types here (along with Blitz ). Check out and post on the following link to learn more of us sinister types hehehe https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/12258&page=1

EDIT: Oh goody! An IPMS member! Jeep, Crismag and I were at Motorex last year! Jeep had an F-14 Tomcat, Crismag had a wonderful King Panther (?) diorama, and mine was the silly M1A2s running around a hair ball :-)

EDIT Mk2: Also check this other thread: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/16041&page=1

Yahoo Messenger? Nyet. BTW, I sent you the email last night. And checking my inbox, it didn't bounce, so it's supposedly safe in the Rocketmail server now.

Welcome "alabrador"! ^_^

20 years?! That's a great deal of experience, great elite veteran.

Ako wala pa 2 years e.... T_T

*unti-unti nang lumalabas ang mga Filipino Modelers! Yay! ^_____^

Albert: Welcome, nice to know that there are others out there....Just curious, were you the one who posted a King Tiger Production turret in the Missing-lynx site?

The one with the hard edge scheme is mine. I've got a couple of others in the gallery, a puma, a Panther A and some that i've forgotten. Also have an article in Track Link on accurizing the Italeri (yechh) Bergepanther.

Ang dami pala natin!

May balita ba about Motorex for this year?

I've been itching to get an Italeri Puma. Recommended ba sya?

Hi Jeepney,

No news as of yet on Motorex.

The Italeri Puma is decent and an easy build out of the box, however if you want to accurize it, there's a lot you can do. First thing is to change ALL the stowage. It's horribly under detailed and the Jerry Cans are tiny. You can make do with Tamiya or Italeri Jerry Cans and the Tamiya Pz 4 Accessory set. The wheels are said to be innaccurate but I didn't really go overboard to change them on mine.

Nice looking beast, though. Good luck finding one!

Bossing Albert, would you happen to have some works of yours posted on the internet? Or have a site running right now, which would have your works there? Would love to see 'em.

I've got lots of VERY OLD stuff in Track Link - several models in the gallery and an article on accurizing the italeri bergepanther.

I also have some work in the missing lynx gallery.

Some recent stuff on the IPMS Phils Web page.
