Zamo Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Disaster, do you have it on the web? I'd like to see it. I have seen some really neat modelings on the web. I wish I had the time to try it. Zamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMaximus Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 I just got back into the model hobbly the last couple of years. I like doing almost any scale model armour, planes, ships in that order that have to do with mainly WW2. I have some 1/35 WW1 tanks to build, they look to be a different challengne. I like armour the best, I am currently building a Panzer IV/70 (A) 'ZWISCHEN LOSUNG Sd Kfz 162/1. My next project is a US Tank Destroyer M36 Jackson and the Battleship Arizona. I belong to my local model club which is a member of the IPMS. I am a regular board wargamer every Thursday night, six of us get together and play various wargames, we are currently playing ASL's Red Barricades.

Randl Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 In a manner of speaking, wargaming is recreating a reality in miniature and modeling is recreating a reality in miniature. I guess I like miniaturizing things, and do them both /Randl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about getting back into modelling as a career so this might be a good impetus. Here's some other stuff I did, in the meantime: http://www3.telus.net/pop_n_fresh/portfolio.htm I'll tell you when I post the tank pics. I never had a chance to texture it, though.

Von Fauster Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 "I always wondered is how many of this CM fraternity dabble with military modelling?" Member of IPMS. My only real hobby next to beer drinking (and now playing CM). Focus on 1/48 and 1/72 WWII aircraft, and 1/72 WWII armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntg84 Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 The most fun of modeling is buying what we can't build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, for every 3 kits I buy, I seem to complete 1. My stock pile of unmade AFVs, figures and aircraft kits are heading to the ceiling fast!

Little Black Devil Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 I'm working on a diorama displaying a small portion of the Battle of Putot en Besin, along the Caen-Bayeaux Highway June 8th 1944. For those that are interested, the scenario soon to follow.

Jager 7 Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 I can relate to Mace. I have gotten back into modeling over the past couple of years. Completed two of the four kits I purchased. Just finished a 1/35th Panther V A. Also like 1/35 figures and the Dragon 1/16th. Out here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 I stopped building models when I went to college, but I recently became interested when my parents sold their house and I found all the models I built and the ton of kits I never built. Some of them are quite valuable now. There are tons of kits and accessories for sale on E-Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grunto Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Tamiya (ah the memories of Tamiya 1/35th scale AFVs back in the early '70s) is coming out with a Tiger I remote control. 1/16 scale or something. With machinegun sounds and a cannon which fires. The engine sounds were recorded at a British Tank Museum from a surviving, operational Tiger I. It needs a 4-way remote.It's all at their website: http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/56010tiger/tiger_1.htm 'You'll swear it's a real tank!' I stumbled across it when I was looking for some 1/10th scale 2-way remote auto model information. I have a model Nissan GTR. It's black with purple wheels. The next one will be orange with blue wheels or something like that. I would like to get that 1/16 scale Tiger. Wealthy people could shoot them at each other in huge backyards.

Guest grunto Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 I read the site and it's a Tiger I with a Tiger II engine sound, from a museum in France. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Hey ZAMO nice kids, you seem proud of them I loved modeling and the subsequent destruction of the models thereafter when I was a youngin. My mutations took me to painting lead monsters and heroes during the D&D years and most recently to my warhammer necromunda gangs (orlock and cawdor). I always look at the models avaliable when I see a hobby or game store but am rarely impressed by instock items other than the infantry kits. Looking through catalogs of either minitures or models still leaves me drooling however, maybe in the future when I have more space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Well, it seems that many of us people that like to play wargames and/or are interested in the WWII-era, also like modelling units from that period. I've made quite a few models myself, mostly German vehicles and infantry, because I always liked the very well designed German units most. For the greater part it is all Tamiya 1/35 scale stuff and I even have a few 1/25 scale German tanks (the Tiger-I and the Jagdpanther) that are very rare now. I'm still looking for that third Tamiya 1/25 tank model of the Kingtiger. Has anyone of all you "Dutchies" on this forum, seen it accidently in a store in The Netherlands? If so, please let me know! (I have seen the model and the real thing at the Panzermuseum in Munster, Germany). By the way, hi Stoffel and thanks for mailing me the E-mail adress of Cyberfox. I think that it's a good thing that Dutch CM-fans also get together in The Netherlands to play CM and to swap knowledge, facts and experiences in the process. I'm probably off on a well earned vacation first thing now, but I think we should keep in touch later on... Dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Dutch, Here are some 1/25 armor kits available on E-Bay. No Tamiya King Tiger though. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&query=1%2F25&categoryid=&ht=1&st=0&category3=2588&maxRecordsPerPage=100&SortProperty=MetaEndSort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Thank you very much Pvt. Ryan! I never heard of eBay before, but it seems that it surely rocks! Well, I should take my pick now... See Ya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link to my jagdpanther model is here: I modelled it by looking at various photos of existing ones in museums. I got the dimensions a bit wrong but decided to finish it anyway. Unfortunately, it's not textured. I've been picking away at learning Maya 2.5 so I might finish it off.

Tanks Posted July 30, 2000 Share Posted July 30, 2000 I model in 1:76 scale, WWII Tanks of all nations, but specialising in armour of the US 2nd Armoured Division, "Hell on wheels" Theres a few photos on my website http://www.bethhanan.cwc.net/ Not so much since I took up computing though!

Guest Mirage2k Posted July 30, 2000 Share Posted July 30, 2000 Hey guys, I've got a question. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I've dabbled a little in modeling, and I'd like to get into it more, particularly that of modern naval vessels and aircraft. The only problem is I live in a somewhat sleeply little town and military modeling isn't exactly the hottest fad in the world right now. With those two facts in mind, it's tough to find a local store that carries any model kits. Someone in the thread mentioned they've found stuff online. Where exactly? A point in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks. -Andrew ------------------ Throw me a frickin' smiley, people! Your one-stop-shop for gaming news is www.SiegersPost.com ! Hit it!

Jarhead Posted July 30, 2000 Share Posted July 30, 2000 I did quite alot in my younger days. Funny you ask since i just in the last couple weeks (after about 10 years) am getting back into it. I just bought a 5gal air tank and regulator for my new air brush. I did a practice 1/35th scale Hellcat. And now im looking for a 1/35 "Gator" Used in the Pacific landings. ------------------ Semper Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mortiis Posted July 30, 2000 Share Posted July 30, 2000 Crappy thing about where I live is that all the instock models are of cars and other things I have no interest in, with the exception of a few of the more common tanks (shermans etc).
