Grant Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 As we're all laying our cards on the table ... and I can't believe I'm doing this, but these are my entries for the Great War GB Emhar's Mk.IV Male Heavy Battle Tank: with some upgrades from Panzershop: I'm also hoping to finish it in this captured colour scheme ... just a bit more colourful I thought: and if I think I'm going to break down then this might come in handy: My second entry is this Tauro Sturmpanzerwagen A7V, I haven't yet decided on a scheme and I'm trying to track down (no pun intended) some add-ons: Lastly ... have pity, I've set the bar for myself really high with this. Lest we forget ..... PS:- If any one knows of any AM for the A7V then please let me know ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Great choice, Grant! Congrats, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Errrr. exciting wasn't the first word that sprung to MY mind Martin.... terrifying? Yes, exciting? NO. However, for everyone else, I'd bet it's exciting because this GW GB is going to be "MEGA MAN, WICK'ID !!" (as said by certain generations). In reality - I am looking forward to it immensely, it ought to be huge fun and .. I'm unlikely to run out of anything consumable wise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAnderson Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Far out and solid, Grant. Showing my age here, LOL. Nice choices Grant. Can't wait to see the outcome. You should scratch the interior for the A7V. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to BUT there's no way I could it justice .. perhaps "off piste, off camera" I might have a play and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've added to my research by the additions of these :- First time in years I've got in some research material that didn't start with "Wiki" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I must be going nuts (and I know it's not eligible for the GW GB) but I just bought this on evil bay for the sum total of £11. Couldn't resist it! Nut, utterly nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted March 28, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2013 Why's it not eligible? Post WW1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 It was designed in 1919 and released to the Italian Tankers in 1921. I couldn't resist it when it came up for sale though - even knowing that it wouldn't be eligible. Suddenly, I've got a new found fascination for these rudimentary tanks ... the men who manned these were equally pioneering in the use of these vehicles as were the guys flying above them. Whether I'll build it round about the time of the GB I don't know but I thought it fun to have in my stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 It's plastic Martin ... the same brand as the Sturmpanzerwagen A7V I'm building for the GB. Tauro Models are Italian and I'd never heard of them until I went searching for an additional WW1 topic. They've produced some interesting subjects including some (Italian) 1/48th aircraft : http://www.tauromodel.it/ElencoOggetti.aspx?GenereSelezionato=2&FamSelezionata=AFV&ScalaSelezionata=4&Qualesito=2 (BTW, it's a very clumsy site to navigate) I don't think they're uber kits and I've heard they're a bit of a struggle but, hey! why not ?... should be fun.

Grant Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I can't help thinking I need to build some kind of aeroplane as well - some newfangled machine. Hmm, need to find something suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
