Leopard primed finally...

The Leo is primed finally. Some minor touches are still missing, tow cables, mud flaps, machine gun, and last but not least the commander figure from the turret. But at this point the finish line is clearly visible - which is JIT because the tank hunter campaign is about to start on armorama.com...

The postman has come again...

Well, I bought some more kits. No rational reason behind that. Simply just wanted to have them...

Turret ready

Sweet memories...

Today I just scrolled through my photobucket account and my planetarmor vBench... Damn. I like my models built by my earlier self - and got some inspirations to build a lot of them in the forthcoming decades... I have to make a list of my stack. And I have to make a wish-list. And I have to play significantly less WoT and build significantly more models :)

Turret 99%

Almost finished the turret. Ugly job. Lots of sanding (seam lines everywhere), lots of filling and a really minor upgrade on the commanders periscope. But at least it is coming together - I'm planning the paint job. I have no camo mask so it will be tricky...

Armorama Campaign

Almost finished with the turret. And thinking on what to do next. I've found a soon-to-begin campaign on Armorama, and enlisted to it. It begins in September and finishes in next April so seems to be quite enough time to finish a model. My decision was based on my other idea: I'd like to present the German TD line of World of Tanks in the next five-ten-twenty years alongside with other interests (modern Russians, IDF, US, German AFVs, etc.). So I have at least 3 possible models on the shelf: (Dragon) Panzerjäger I. Ausf.B., (Dragon) Marder III M (opened box, and cut some parts but almost intact) or (Tristar) Marder III H.
Or I buy Tamiya's Jagdpanzer IV./L70, my personal favourite in WoT (and most played, most succesful vehicle, as well) and build that. I have time to decide...

Revival

As a sign of revival I ordered some stuff. There were BlackDog accessories on sale at Luckymodel.com - so my Marder III, Kübel and Chaffee will receive aftermarket bags, tentrolls, etc. But on the other hand I found a site - GreenStuffWorld.com and I was amazed by their idea of making a punch tool to create realistic tree-leaves from actually real leaves... (and to be more cost-effective I ordered silicone sculpting tools as well however no sculpting happened in the last few years but it is another matter...)
And as spending money is always fun I'm just planning to order hobbyzone desktop organizers, too. But its postage cost is frightening. I need to find a vendor in Hungary...
