Hehe

Damn guys, those are outrageous. I grew up building models but your painting and attention to details would make me burn all of mine if I still had them. I love the last pictures with the soldiers, etc. About 5 years ago I was in a .50 cal fun shoot had the chance to shoot an MG-42 on the adjustable tripod with the remote trigger. Sure sounds a lot neater ripping off 50 rounds than my 21 Thompson. Guy with an M-60 turned to my 15 year old son and handed him an ammo box and said "have fun". I thought he was gonna crap his pants.

Congrats to you both.

Hope I'm not too late to vote?

By gee, both are good models. I'm no expert, but I can be bought.

Who's offering the biggest bribe.

You guys have a bit of pull with the boss,

A promotion form "REGULAR" to something with a bit more pazaz, say, underwater panelbeater? (did a fair bit of that in my time)

Both of you should be very proud - excellent models lads, I think Shamus' camo in particular is extremely impressive and Nord the sheer detail is amazing - have you ever entered any proper model tournements?

I've attended the Dublin Model show and yours is better than half the winners!

Freddie,I am almost afraid to ask....what is an underwater panelbeater??

furkensturker · 10-25-2007, 10:23 AM

Underwater Panelbeater is a very important and highly skilled job in the Military, no matter what country you come from.

It's one step above "DIXI BASHER", I refer to the poor bastard who has to wash pots and pans in the mess. As a young digger, I did my fair share of the underwater trade, mainly the Sgt's Mess. It was a right of passage that everyone had to do two weeks at the Sgts Mess.

They had an automatic, all singing, all dancing, whizz bang dishwasher that would be the envy of any five star hotel, The only trouble was, it sat in a wooden box beside the back door of the kitchen for at least 2 1/2 years that I know of.

So we had to resort to Steelo soap pads and an a3 size tin, strung under the hot tap with half a dozen bars of Velvet laundry soap in it. Apart from being in the stone age, the velvet soap is better than any dishwashing liquid.

In my food business, we use the tomato tin filled with velvet. Old habits die hard.

Both are great, but I had to go with the PzIV, mainly because the PZIV C/D models aren't often done compared to the Panther.

But they're both better than I could do, and better than the Bradley IFV I was going to submit. I HAVE to get my digital camera working again.

Ha, I finally got myself a digital camera, unfortunately haven't started any of my larger scale armour kits yet, only my 1/76 scale stuff which I packed into a box while I clean/swap my shelving.

Perhaps the next contest!

Just like this one?

Nord · 10-26-2007, 17:25 PM

Yes that`s the one...

tlturbo · 10-26-2007, 17:30 PM

That is soooo cool - DIRTY WINDOWS and the wiper sweeps. Talk about detail. It's probably a GOOD thing your displays DON'T contain latrines. No telling HOW you would detail those.
