You know, because of your posts, I've been damned close to pulling the trigger on the Tanks! game miniatures, or even Flames of War. I should probably try a larger model or two before I try to get into minis games.
I've actually been eyeing this Akagi aircraft carrier model (https://www.amazon.com/HASEGAWA-49227-Akagi-Aircraft-Carrier/dp/B00JP6NEH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507405665&sr=8-1&keywords=akagi+model), which is reasonably priced...
Well thanks to you I'm thinking about getting the Tanks! game! :knuppel2:
:2funny:
Well that's what we're good for 'round here is enablement, innit? ;)
The Tanks Starter Set (https://www.amazon.com/Tanks-Panther-Sherman-Starter-Board/dp/1940825873/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507405938&sr=8-1&keywords=tanks%21+starter+set) is only $22 USD. My only issue is getting a bunch of minis I won't play with (see: X-Wing Minis, lol).
You could leave off the turret and turn it into a Kangaroo APC.
And then he could buy a Kangaroo model and use the turret on that
He could, couldn't he?
Watching this closely JD. This kit is on my to-do list. Working on a Panther D right now and a Jagdpanther!

But I want the turret :'(
She's in the booth ready for her primer.
The commander is done obviously and I'll stick him in when I get the tank paint on.

Looking good, JD. I'm always impressed by the quality of Tamiya's casts.
Thanks
Yes - Tamiya are great models. Good moulding. Fairly simple. Fairly cheap.
Pretty as the day she left Detroit!
Looking very good :clap:.
Wish I had the patience (and talent) to do this.
I once put a Tiger II together and kept it as a reminder that I shouldn't buy any new kits.
Great job JD. :bd:
Hit that hull MG with some gunmetal :P
Nice paint job JD.
I think a lot of modellers feel the need to throw a crap ton of chipping, mud, grimy streaks, blah....blah. Modelling is TWO things.......YOUR hobby and your interpretation.
Bravo man.....bravo!! :bd:

Oh - you noticed that? I didn't actually notice it until I saw the pictures and I'd packed everything away. C:-)
Thanks everyone. I loved doing this one. Done in record time for me.
I'm not sure I'll do the "build then paint" thing again...I think I'll revert to building and painting in sections.

I like that approach too. Work on one little area, take a break and come back to another.

Nice work, JD. You really did slap that one together pretty quick and did a great job too.
One of your best I'd say :clap:
Why thank you :notworthy:
