Here it is at last. Thanks to Buck for taking these pictures in our last meeting.
This is the "Night fighting Panther" from Dragon but I removed the IR gear to make just the Ausf. G late. I used the Eduard PE detail set given to me by El-Jefe (Tony).
I painted the Ambush pattern on this one, used a thin mud solution so as to make only a thin layer of mud (you just can't see it clearly in the pictures though) kinda like the mud under your car, the antenna was made from Syringe needle, the towcable from string, the smaller cable used to attach the tracks from twisted wire, and the spent cartridges & empty ammo belt from stretched sprue.

This will most likely be one of my entries

Uh no! It's the dreaded PE-clad armour from a 14 yo. kid. Makes me wanna dig myself a hole in the ground and bury my head in it. You're putting us to shame!

Way to go Fritz.... we look up to you (despite your size and age.... ahahaha). Great job!

Oh yeah.... thanks for the Bulldog!

Fritz! Naks naman! Haha! I'm no armor-critic, neither am I an armor-builder, too -- but your build, is just too damn sexy! Haha! Seriously, ang angas. Sana may "down-the-barrel-shot", angas siguro nun. Meron ba yang under-hull shots? Hmmm..I'd love to take pictures of the "sexy-beast" when we meet up again. (++)

Fritz,

What can I say but your work is always something to admire and awe. You have confidence in your technique and it shows in every finished model. Imagine what you can do when you start scratch building!!

Keep it up!!

Thanks guys for all your inputs. My next target is not German. I'm thinkin' about the Sherman Firefly or the IS-2. I still don't have the kits but they're in my sights.

I started already! In a small scale though. Remember the crosshair sight on the MG42? the PE part for that is lost but I managed to scratchbuild one. And I've scratchbuilt the major wirings on the bulkhead of the big 1/2 track.

You have got to see it 'in the flesh' guys. Buti ka pa Fritz may entry na, ako ala pa maisip. Tapusin ko muna diorama ko after the BACup, pag mukhang ok, baka yun ang isali ko.... kung aabot he he he

By the way, thank you very much on teaching me how to assign a pic on my sig. And also, for the CA glue... YOU DA MAAAANN!!!

Just curious about the "CA GLUE", ano yan? Hehehe, I know it's "glue", but why's everyone thanking Fritz for it? He gave away some? HE made some? He ate some? Mwahaha! Share naman...

O di ba ang ganda? Saw this in the flesh along with Lipton's M2. Makes me glad I went to semi-retirement sa internal club contests. Imagine what these guys can do 2 or 3 years from now. I dread the day. :-)

Lipton,

Nice sig by the way. Ganda ng sig nyo ni CBrain! Ive asked CBrain to help me design my own. Ill put in the logo just like you guys did.

Jomz,
Bulldog superglue. Dinikit ko nga an old pair of shoes into some plyboard ala the commercial, but never had the nerve. Hehehe!

Ahahaha... I know that commercial! The guy who hangs himself on a plywood upsidedown (buti di nagslip-out yung shoes sa foot nya.) :-)

Why not the Bradley? It's a very beautiful work. Although there is one tiny anomaly w/c is easy to fix. And of course the Sabre with the lovely interior (love those .50 cals).

Hah!! nice Idea! gawa tayo ng contest sa Nationals na patagalang nakabaliktad sa plywood! joke!


Thank you very much for all your inputs about this big chunk of plastic & brass w/c I think would never go beyond the airport metal detectors (Doc Hermie, 2004).



P.S. About the Bulldogs, it's nothing fellas!! kaunti na nga lang tayong mga Modeller kaya paminsan-minsan magbigayan din tayo! hehehehe!

Good day to you all,
Fritz
