[stevereid]

Here is update gents-

3 months of no forward motion- then some progress. I have to finish this for March 25th- Wing & Wheels.











Having a good time with this one, but I am also visualizing my next project so I am ready to wrap it up.

I had forgotten how this one looked Steve. The rust is perfect for a fresh brew. Can't tell in the pics but some black pigs for the soot is about all that she needs and you can call her done. Well and some weathering on the green end maybe....dust and dirt type stuff

[scratchmod]

Steve, thanks for reminding me that I have to add some pics of my KGB entry.

Got the turret chipping on the Korean war veteran.

[bigjohn]

Steve, That T-34 is looking pretty awesome man! can't wait to see the finished product!

[spud]

thats awsome very nicly done,

[Mence]

Lovely work guys, looking splendid!

[`Boots`]

Steve and Rob...........these look splendid ;D, love the way you have gone with this Steve, very convincing look indeed........Rob, love the way the turret is progressing and glad too see you guys back in action ;D

Very brief update myself................mojo loss and my bad back is back with a vengence so progress has been somewhat non-existant just lately and for that i appologise.....

Anyway a couple of shots of the Raider as she stands at the mo............i`m a fair bit out of my depth on these wingies so i`m making the best of a tough job for me

The wings are dry fitted, sprayed and some wing decs added.............i`ve got the landing bay doors done but i just need to get the inner panels sprayed white and then i can fix the whole lot together and crack on with the landing gear itself.................not much i know but it`s the best i can manage at the mo fellas!!





Also the dive brakes are done but also need the white inner panels done as well......

Thanks for being patient chaps.....

Boots,nice work mate.....and it looks like you're at the same point I am now!!!....Have you layed the satin finish on yet,it looks like it in the piccies?

[scratchmod]

Sorry to hear about the back Boots...I feel your pain bro.

Raider is coming along nicely.

[`Boots`]

Thanks CB and Rob.... ;D

CB.................it`s actually a matt finish and i`m not sure if i`d farked it up...............may go over with a satin tho ....

Rob..........it`s been pretty bad this past few weeks................hence the trip back to the docs!!!!

Thanks again fellas ;D

[TRM]

Yessir the KGB rolls on - nice work all great damage SR and RF and I reckon the Raider looks peachy Boots - great stuff!

[stevereid]

Slowly but surely this thing moves toward the finish line - which is this Sunday at ValleyCon.

The base- Celluclay, cat litter, plaster of paris, some drywall scraps and one of the first casts of a new Celticwerks product. Korean Factory wall...


Sculpted by my buddy Frerik Noordhuis!

A close up of the wall with gray primer


The tank on the base


The tank photographed from an angle that approximates the original inspiration pic. This will need some tweaking yet but it will get there-


I cannot do figures at all- So I commissioned a couple. This pair are from the Dragon Pusan Perimeter 1950 set. Completely re-sculpted, and painted by my friend Vinnie Branigan. I love these and I will be using some others in the future!





Getting there!
Steve

[TRM]

Very nice going there Steve!! Can't wait to see this in person this weekend!! Vinnie did a great job on them figs too!!! And the wall....yeah, just wow!!! But the burnt out tank is hitting its mark!!! Keep it coming!!!

[Chris.S]

WOW Vinnie Branigan ,havent heard that ame for a while ...he's good at the figs tho' aint he .

Sorry guys ,keep forgetting about the KGB ,all the builds are coming on sweet I like the Raider Boots ...very nice

Chris.

[scratchmod]

Just caught this update Steve. man the figs do look good. Frerik has done another awesome job sculpting the wall. Can't wait to see this on Sunday.
With this and T's jobs there will be some very cool models at the show. I'll have mine on the AK table and not in the contest.

[stevereid]

Hey Rob-
I won't be entering this either. I will have it on my table to show off the wall section. Can't really compete with it without a ruling from the Chief Judge because of Vinnies figures.

If the judges know to ONLY judge the tank then I would enter it. But that is a call for the Chief Judge to make.

Eventually I will also convert the T-34/85 to a T-34T using my conversion set. It will still be burnt up though.

It will spend its life on my vendor table promoting the Korean Factory Wall section kit, the T-34T and my T-34 detailing bits.

Steve

[scratchmod]

You could enter in the armor cat Steve. They will only judge the tank its self. Just be sure to note it on the entry form. Will be just as good on the CW to promote the wall.

[DickyF]

Very nice Steve - the 34 is a triumph sir - very well done with it matey - the wall looks like another great CW product!! Gonna be sweet when done

[rm6239]

Been a long time between drinks but some great work is still happening here. The Raider looks good Boots.

cheers
Rossco

[robbo]

Good work chaps

[scratchmod]

Fellas I've put an end date to this after nearly 9 months. There are other GB we all want to take part in as well. The KGB will end on MAY 1st. You can still finish off your entry and add it later. All GB's will have to now have start and end dates now that we have more members than in the old forum.
