Unsurprisingly I'm up for this one! Maybe my Dragon Panzer IV?


I do have an idea for a new project; an E-100 using masking stencils for a wild paint scheme. Trouble is, that doesn't really fit in with the WWII theme

 

[rickoshea52]

Forgive my ignorance but by panzer do you mean a tank? Would a StugIII or a Tiger be acceptable?

Any armoured fighting vehicle would be acceptable. Panzer is just a derivative of a German word for armour.

 

[Polux]

The person who propouse the GB leave the forum.......but I think his idea was german armour only. Not sherman and others.

I will accept both, Rick.

The original poster said any panzer in any theatre ofWWII . THe only suggestion of it being German was the term Panzer, German for tank (armour).

Hi Polux


I've got a Panther project on the go at the moment and I wonder if I might tag along on this one. I may not finish them completely (I have a 1/16 Tamiya Panther G and 2 Dragon 1/35, type A and G but I do expect to have the builds done.


The 1/16 Pz IV I started is still ongoing and is (sort of) part of the same project.


I have some time at the moment to really crack on with this so hopefully I'll have something of interest here.


Basically if you like Panthers (Normandy era) then I think I'll be covering it.


Cheers


Paul

Normandy Panthers Paul, what's not to like?

 

[papa 695]

I think I've got one for this GB.

You're preaching to the choir Patrick!


i promise that these builds will be finished, although I may not get round to painting them in the time. I will be concentrating on Panther details and variant differences as well as a quick 'how to' on Zimmerit application.


I will be starting on the 1st and hoping I can finish the builds within the month.


See you in the GB


Paul  O.o

Hi Paul.


It's fine to me


The GB's idea is build together.......  

 

[dubster72]

Just after some clarification, are 'paper panzers' allowed in this GB? I have a Trumpeter E-100 Super Heavy Tank that's wanting to be built


TIA

 

[spanner570]

Patrick, I don't see that it matters what the panzer is made of, but it's only polite to await clarification from Polux.


Cheers,


Ron

 

[Ian M]

lol good one Ron.

 

[spanner570]

Apologies for seeming flippant Patrick, I seem to have misunderstood your question. Having little knowledge of tanks, I genuinely presumed you meant it was a card model you wanted to build....


But going by Ian's post, I would presume this variant was a 'drawing board prototype'.........Me thick!


We must still await Polux's reply, mind.

Don't worry Ron, with all these card models making an appearance it's a natural conclusion to reach! I built a few card models in my youth while flirting with railway layouts... never again!  o.O
