1/25th scale Panzer III Ausf L, early

[panzerjager2]

Well, I am into it now......... Because my good friend Dierk in Germany, was telling me about being in a sort of model slump. This got me to thinking, (which is a bad idea anyhow). So since I was away from home for about three weeks, AND had way too much time to dwell....... I began the process of starting a 1/25th scale Panzer III. Now I blame Dierk, BUT I also need to blame Joel, because he graciously donated a Tamiya 1/35th kit for me to scale up from. Now if these two upstanding modelers were not so amazing, I would be happily fiddling with one of the various builds that are UNFINISHED....  But no this isn't to be, Dam their generosity and kindness, How dare they, LOL.

Well anyhow, here's where I stand....... Got to go to the big city, where my last Model train store is having their going out of business sale to pick up some .080 thousands sheet plastic................But in the mean time I already started designing one of the crew figures......Yes talk aboooot putting the cart before the horse.... Well the commander will be based on a WWII picture I've seen over the years where he is standing on the open commanders hatches peering out over the horizon with his binoculars. I haven't quite decided if it will be a Kursk MKIII or a Stalingrad MKIII. Obliviously a Ausf "L" early could be a replacement for lost vehicles...so we shall see.......................


Pictures to follow

Don't blame me! All I did was help out a modeler in "distress". Just a question, why do you build in 1/25 scale? Talk more soon, Joel.

If it makes you feel better about your inability to resist starting a new project, go ahead and blame me - I'll add it to the ever-growing list of 'things Dierk got the blame for'.
