Jack was a blast all weekend...Joe should be VERY proud. I took a few shots of them with their tanks in town.

Has the museum released any sort of statement yet on an official timeframe? I have someone I want to bring and would like to know a timeframe

Seeing as I blocked someone in the group shot, here's a better one:

Alright. Just didn't want to plan something and then find out I should have done it earlier, kinda busy right now so it might be hard to fit something in until later

Someone should shoot that cameraman...Missing you...all the nerve???

Panther F 07-10-2014 03:04 AM

Wow, well... if you can't be there STARING AT PICTURES is second best! :rolleyes:

Whoa, what a nice collection too! Especially #43... either it's an up-armored Kubel or a major conversion to look like a Horsch vehicle. :) Then all the nice T34's, Panthers and all those super sweet Shermans! ;)

I almost cried I wanted to be there SO BAD!! :confused: Really nice work EVERYONE!!! Those 38(t) have me in the shopping mood... don't care if my wife diss-owns me, I gotta have one now after seeing these! (maybe 2) ;)


BTW... who owns that Kubelwagen? Does he have any build threads on it? So very nicely done as I wouldn't mind picking their brain on what they used! :)


Oh... and I almost forgot, GREAT PICTURES Chung-Leong! I do appreciate them.

Thanks for the kind words Jeff.

According to the owner, it was a Tamiya Kubel on a Losi crawler chassis and it has really good articulation. He sold it, I don't know who has it right now but it worked a treat. He builds great looking models. He also built 38t number 1003. You might like to know that it is still available for sale - Mike made me a very good offer that I found very hard to resist.

Jeff,
Here are Mike's threads on the "Uber-wagen."

Well, I have talked myself out of this one... for now. There's more to it than at first glance and the vehicle alone is around 150 bucks! I bet there's about 50 hours into this on the styrene work alone.

That's dedication and well done Mike! ;)

Yeah the Uber-wagon was my buddy Mike's. He's a good guy and VERY creative. Someone definatly got a very cool unique item!
