Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 2, 2019 Administrators Posted June 2, 2019 You maniacs got me all looking at service vehicles. I did a trade for a couple... Then this.. with a hedge trimmer attachment for keeping your lawn looking neat and tidy. But I’m just NOT a fan of rubber band tracks. 6
BlrwestSiR Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Ernie, I think you need to get a Scammell: There's a wrecker version too. I'm going to give it a shot after the Jagdpanther. As for the M10, I built one years ago. It's a pretty good kit. Carl 4

Not sure on the rubberband tracks for the M-10 though. I might look for options, possibly metal? 2

Modelkasten are the hardest to put together as each link is 8 parts (9 if you're using the duck bills). Be ready for a padded room by the time you're done. 4

Carl, I have a hard enough time building 40 bombs for an A-6 or A-7, so I’d certainly blow an artery working on those metal tracks. Maybe a nice, safe 1/16 T-34 instead and stay away from treaded things on this GB? A treadhead I am not... 2

Bomber_County Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Come Ernie you’re got through your hat in on this one, what about a Dragon Wagon with a trackless tank on the back............ 5

Just stick a wire through them and cut it to length. No glue needed. Or there's this option:. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302949609913 Fully assembled metal tracks. I haven't tried them yet but I am tempted. 2

The Magic Tracks on the build I'm considering are less than a centimetre long, and there's 41 links to assemble each side. My plan would be; pour a large glass of red Wine, squirt some Super glue randomly on the Worktop, and throw the whole lot up in the air like the Asparagus Clairvoyant does. Can't come out much worse surely! Are those for a halftrack? I did both sides of a set for a 251 in about three hours and managed to keep them workable. I like Magic Tracks. 3
TJTX Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Cant wait to really getting hopping on my butcherbird. First I gotta get out of this damned tourist trap known as Orlando. 4

I like Magic Tracks. Yes Carl, The Half-track one size down, so a little smaller than the '251. But at least there's not cleanup required (I presume.) 2

Phil, once the Lanc’s done, I’ll jump on the White 6x6 cargo, them I’ll examine my options for sure 3
HubertB Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 The more I see the chosen subjects (read Nazi targets ), the more I am tempted to have a go at LV72, or a MFV, both from Operation Neptune Hubert 6

1to1scale Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Is this build ending Jan 31, or is it getting extended? 1
DocRob Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 We have already spoilt the title of the thread, Will the GB end sometime or do we wait for the 100th anniversary . Cheers Rob 2 1

SapperSix Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I fear some of this might be on me. I had mentioned elongating the build and I would then offer a prize for said extension. While my build still awaits completion, I am unaware of any other incomplete, participating builds. Should this be the case ( I have no dog in this fight), may I suggest an alternate group build to which my promised award can be applied. For the exact type of award an admin can contact me in this regard. 2
1to1scale Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 My marder was “almost” finished, basically, I just need to finish final assembly and weathering, but I definitely didn’t finish on time. 2
