No kidding. Pah Co Cho PuK's Leo was the last one I think.

Build thread are always good. Although I guess we are spoiled. I just thought of that Metal flail Sherman we have been graced with.

I am building my Jumbo, ?I am still in the final areas of completing my T-34/85. I have my nephews Tiger I E to get TBU compatible. i think i will go with a DBCRC2 possibly 3 system.I have my 2 HE Abrams and LEOPARD 2A5/6 I have another T-34/85, and as SU 100. Take your choice these are all in variable<div>stages of completion. Any one interested in an early custom built Jagdpanther Pantiger based. It was built by bubbajoexx and is a nice piece.</div><div> I also have my HL PzIII that i have plans for. So take your pick. Oh, I almost forgot, I have my Dennix 88 that i want to update, possibly with an newer electronics package and my PaK 40. i plan on a batle system with that too. If thecommander doesnt watch his back i may wind up with more toys tham him. LOL yeah right.</div>

Well I am itching to paint something...and spend money...and..well, you get the drift.
I have drafted a friend into doing some research for me, so I may yet have a build thread soon enough.

I am just finishing up a Tamiya Pershing from Operation Zebra - just weather the  tracks and stowage left to add. I'll post pics when I have it completed.

 I have a Tamiya Jagdpanther waiting, but I may hold off on that project and add Tamiya electronics into my Stug III first and work on some buildings and soldiers first. The Pershing build was a tough one - fitting the electronics into the Tiger was super easy compared to the tight quarters this one has...

Don't have a tank project to report, though I am working on a '42 M1 Kenworth heavy wrecker with full operating boom, drag line, sound, and a brushless motor set up.  Can post a couple early stage pics if anyone is interested.

WOW lot's of projects on the go .. I am also getting in the beat of assembling my Leopard A4 complete with all electronics pics to come also, what's gets me for now is putting together the turret and all the mods I have to brainstorms to come up with ideas for elevation , rotation and recoil, but that's the fun of building tanks.
Please put your project's pics on the forum so we can share ideas and discusions.

Hi Guys
I am building an HL KT that I received from Phil. Does anyone have any idea what color paint is used on this beast. I am thinking of using the tan color as an over spray to cut down on the brightness before starting the weathering process.

Hoping to finish my IS-2 in a few weeks. been a long time in the works and i have been out of town a lot. When it's finished I probably will take a break for a while. Getting a bit burnt out on tanks. Want to build a full sized kit car. thinking of a Ferrari 250 GTO on a 240Z body with a turbo 2.8 liter engine.

I have two projects to keep me occupied. I need to finish the LVTH6 I started last year and a new M4 as used by the USMC in the Pacific Islands campaigns. I plan on using the new Mato VVSS suspension suitably modified on it. Now all I need is the time.
