T 34, Zvezda, 1:72

Hello my friends out there! Seems that my wrist is o.k. now and I´m able to go on at the "Kit Building Front".For a start I built this "Snap-Kit" from Zvezda. I was surprised that no glue was needed. Especially the tracks, consisting of 4 parts each side can be built without glue. But you have to follow strictly the plan. I made the mistake to snap some wheels togehter in the wrong order. When assembling the tracks I recognized, that the wheels in front of the tank must be assembled in another way and then they broke when I tried to strip them down. My fault!

It is a very nice kit, indeed. Still got the Tiger in my stock. Perhabs that one will follow next week?

Here you`ve got a link to an older Post with the sprue of this T 34:

Panzer IV G, Armourfast, 1:72

As promised today some pictures of the Panzer IV G from ARmourfast. Please look at the pictures and make your own decision if it`s worth a buy. I think it has some pro`s and con`s. The detals are not as good as expected but it`s nice to get the chance to build it with open hatch.

Armourfast, Sherman M4A3, 75MM

Back from Holiday!!! After a short trip to the bavarian forrest I´m back at home. Nice trip, but the weather was not as good as i hoped. As always I took a few kits with me, but unfortunately I was pricked in my right wrist by a wasp at day three and my Hand was swollen for over a week. So after two fast assembly kits my modelling ambitions were over :-(
Here you can see the first one. The other one ( a Panzer IV by Armourfast) will follow.









And welcome to my new viewers. I hope that after my free-time my output will increase ;-)

Just another Post about U.S. Rangers....

I am very busy at the moment. Nearly no time for hobbies :-( Always the same, when the summer comes the workload increases....
But yesterday I managed to go on with my U.S. Rangers. Still not finished, but I hope to manage this during the week.





And welcome to José Manuel Chasco, rousell68 and Rich. Nice to have you here and I hope you will find some new posts in the next weeks.

U.S. Infantry, Caesar, Pegasus update

Today only a little update. The standing Figure is finished, the other 3 need a little rework.

U.S. Rangers, Pegasus, Update

I continued my work on the U.S. Rangers as painting, putting them on bases or gluing some parts (e.g. the heads of the two medics)
Still a lot to do, but I made some progress.



O.K. I should give up smoking, especially when making pictures!


This one will be a real challenge. Not the figures but the rest...


And welcome to Alvaro. He has three blogs, please click on his Avatar for more Infos!

The "Pegasus-Project", U.S. Rangers, 1:72

As promised I started these U.S. Rangers from Pegasus. A really beautiful set with poses I´ve never seen befor. O.k. most of them are for dioramas, not for wargaming, but nevertheless nice!. Istarted these wounded/dead soldiers and medics. As you can see, some assembeling is required and some parts have to be painted befor gluing. Still a lot to do but you´ve got a first impression.





Ans welcome to melvin. Nice to have you here!
