Welcome aboard LB! :-)

Hmmm...I'm about finished with Tamiya's Ford GPA (Seep), back to working on AFV's M59 Longtom, Started Tamiya's M20, and still researching the Russian BA-20 Armoured Car from BUM.
Now if I could just find the time to finish one more...

Like, Kencelot, I have a number of things on the go. I have a Fiat Topolino and a Churchill tank that are both ready, but I haven't finished their bases yet. The Topolino dio is almost complete, though. In the mean time, I've got the camouflage pattern on a King Tiger and a Tiger I to paint, I'm cleaning up the resin pieces for an Italian M13/40, and I'm still researching and compiling photograohs of a Canadian M4A4 Sherman. How many of these will I actually finish before the summer's over? One for sure, maybe two.

I've got an AFV Club Sd.kfz 11 waiting for some indiv. link tracks and final weathering, a Tamiya MB Jeep that gets the full photoetch treatment and a whole mess of Dragon, Velinden and Ultracast figs ready for final painting. I'm also builing a 1:24th scale turnof the century, (20th.) gold mine with full interior and underground workings, (lots of scratch-building and resin casting), for a museum client. Not enough hours in the days! I'm also about to start on my third Michelob.

Just got back from the mailbox. Got some pieces and parts from Michigan Discount Models today - great place to shop! Working on an M-20. Surfing the net for info on an Academy M-12 GMC (love those Sherman based derivants) and contemplating what version to build of a DML M4A4.

Hey Bros,

Got a SU-85 conversion on the bench. This is one that I am working on.

Main project is still the M109 'Doher", But I got my Israeli 'Shmira' mutt yesterday and am contemplating mating it with my Legends conversion kit.

I am finishing up a 1/35 M-41 right now and started doing work on a 1/72 sherman for kicks. I alos got a 1/72 abrams to build. There are a few things I want to try and can do it faster and cheaper with the 1/72's and they are kind of cool in there own little way.

Rob, That is a steal!! Where can I steal one!! I just built two, and would gladly repeat the excercise!

Someone on Missing Links posted a free one for $5 shipping. I answered his post and mailed him $5 cash. The turret was started and so were the guns, but well done. The hull was untouched, best part is he threw in 3 Osprey armor books for free too. It is a nicely done kit, I noticed the fit was funny around the left front hull, especially around that armored overhang.

Penny, no wonder your Avatar wears glasses. You want to stick to 1/48th and larger for the vision Lol.

Lucky, welcome aboard. I'm building the LAV for a British Magazine, Military Modelcraft International. It is a great Mag, and the new editor has taken it to new heights. I'll post you a couple pics, when I'm done.

Welcome aboard Jack

Let's see ...

DML T-26E3 -- suspension, tracks and lower hull done, adding the PE and other goodies now.

Tamiya Dragon Wagon dio with brewed-up M4A3 and a couple other smaller vehicles -- kind of on-hold while I round up and convert a few more figures.

Skybow Dodge Command Car -- Done as Patton's. Needs paint and markings, but it's too hot and humid outside to shoot paint right now. Used the spare parts to spruce up an Italeri (ex-Peerless) Dodge that'll probably be in the DW dio.

DML Sherman IC composite Firefly -- Also awaiting paint and to finish Ultracast crew figures.

Cossack vignette -- Still playing with this. I'm determined to paint a gray horse (it's not as easy as it sounds). This is based on the DML kit, with lots of modifications and additions from other kits.

No brews for me this weekend -- I'm on these doggone muscle relaxers.
