This is looking really great

Thanks Kyle! It’ll be great to get this one completed and on the display shelf after all these years.

The weathering really transforms this! Looking great Carlos!

Very cool Carlos , when I first scrolled this post and saw the camo , I thought of that ref pic on the hillside in Italy , ......... aaaaaaand bingo a few posts later you posted the ref pic .
If I remember correctly there are a few other views of the same spg , Life magazine ?

Fine facelift S, a much nicer look.
Don't forget that bow MG

Thanks guys!

Brent,Yes, the weathering really has transformed this. Now just wait a few days until it's all complete.

Cheyenne, there are several more views of this vehicle, but I could only find that one from Life thats in color. It was pretty well photographed from both sides though.

Chad, the mud is on... now for some dust!

Reserve, oh no, the bow machine gun is not forgotten!

Andy, much appreciated!

Today I got the stowage glued into place one the Marder





I should have this one all wrapped up within a day or two…

[moparmadness]

Great job. It’s such a great feeling when you’re a day or two away from the finish line.

Thank you Chad! A great feeling it is indeed! And we have storms in the forecast for most of the week, so good building weather... not so much for airbrushing, but I'll take what I can get 

[kyledehart5]

Wonderful job. That looks nice. Nearly there now!!

[TOWGunner]

Great save Carlos! You have turned this into an outstanding model. The camo pattern is fantastic and the weathering looks excellent. Just goes to show what can be done with an old kit and a little skill.

[stikpusher]

Thanks guys!

Kyle, unless something dreadful happens, this one will be completed tomorrow.

Matt, I enjoy building the old kits. I sure have built up more skill than the last time I built it when I was a kid... a decent spares bin helps too!

[stikpusher]

And here we have it... all finished now!



I'll get a photo thread up in the completed armor section here shortly.

Menacing, but in a good way.

[stikpusher]

Thanks Lyle! Very menacing if you're in his field of fire

Okay…what is with the seemingly tandem stuff at the end of the posts?

“Yale off my hat”? Damn autocorrect!

I’ll keep the hat and skivvies.
