Anyways good luck with the move, are you staying in Rugby or further a field? Glad you like it, Cov! Yes, it's the 1:48 kit I posted some pics of before. I'm staying in Rugby, sadly. Just moving up to the top of Clifton Road. It's an old Victorian house which has a cellar that we're planning to convert into my office and workshop... tankbuster wrote:Jim's taken an intensive course in Polish and is moving to Boston - should fit in well That'll be just as useful in Rugby, mate, I can assure you!  Overlord wrote:Great model there mate, cracking paintwork.
Hope the collection all survive the move!! Thanks, Overlord. Actually, I'm taking the opportunity to chuck out loads of stuff that I've started and not finished. The Panzer III will probably make it to the new place, but not much else will... tankbuster wrote:Good luck with the move Jim Thanks! I could do with a bit of good luck at the moment. This move has not been straightforward so far!

Blimey you moving up at Grovesnor Rd end or Butlers Leap end? I live just opposite golf course on Clifton Rd near pub! Oh and Polish is the 10th language here with Urdu the top 
Place in ground, keep at arms length, light the blue touch paper and stand back!

We're in Bronte Close at the moment. We go to the Butlers Leap quite often. We probably walk past your place every week! Small world, innit?

Hi Tankcommando, nice topic though the only thing I can say is with Italeri check before you glue. Other than that post the pics and enjoy. On another matter the date on the camera?!?!?

tankcommando, if you're happy with it thats all that matters. But i've got to admit, you've done a cracking job matey. Well done, John
 If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.

Tankcommando, good model matey, just do some weathering and I have no doubt that your Sherman will be even better!
Dragon models are fantastic models mate. The Tiger 211 I did was a dragon kit. Though I did use PE parts. The best kits are premium or smart kits. Very accurate and time consuming, but well worth the effort. WARNING: Once you try Dragon nothing else will do!
You too have the stirrings off Tiger fever eh? Get a Dragon or Tamiya Tiger.
Great Sherman though!
I go into one a lot about Israel, i am very pro-Israel. I simply refuse to allow Muslims to use a lie to fuel hatred against the the Jews Or the West!
Those who believe in the lies hang your heads in shame!

No worries mate, the DVD is an excellent education. Though I did want to punch the modeller in the face, he is bloody amazing! LOL! (anyone else get that urge?) I think once you see the DVD on the Panther you may want to buy a Panther Model! Check this: http://www.jadarhobby.pl/dragon-6384-sdkfz171-panther-ausfg-wzimmerit-p-16922.html?language=enAlong with your paint brushes you will also find that I have sent you a book "Panzer Modelling Master class" Keep it matey, I have plenty books! We are a helpful bunch us modellers you know. Apart From Centurion and Cov1. Centurion once gave me a website he said was fantastic for proper models......I went on it and found that it was naked women. I almost got fired. (I managed to save my job by saying that the breasts were reactive armour and the vagina was the same weapon found on a Sturm Tiger) COV1 sent me a model of a Centurion, well the box was a centurion model instead I had the instructions to make a Star Wars At-At and the model when completed was a U-Boat. I had a nervous breakdown because of that mate. Watch them and what they say!

@ tankcommando, nice one .
I'd say that if you're happy with the model you've built then that's a sucessful build.
