1to1scale Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Since I finished my Mustang, I decided to throw one more build at this group build. This is a Tamiya Marder III, Normandy. I got most of the hull done that first night, in all it took me about 14 hours to get through paint. This is a really simple kit to build, the only thing that took a little long we’re the dozen or so ejector marks I need to sand out of the interior, which is exposed in this kit. 11
DocRob Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 You are a machine, I think you could have made the deadline, even when you stated in February . In fourteen hours I manage to go through the sprues after opening the box . Will there be a dio, because I saw the Zündapp bike on your bench? Cheers Rob 6
Bomber_County Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Excellent, wow that’s even quicker than JohnB.......I am not going to get my second entry done in time....... 4
Ryan Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 You are quite multi talented 1to1, looking the part. 3

Cheers Rob Yes, but separate, my Tiger I, Sd.kfz.222, and the bike in a dio. 4
Jeff Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I have but only one question............ excellent modeling talents aside..... ( which they are , that paint is awesome ) BUT I see ONLY one small glass of Whiskey on the model bench..... no beers, no other shot ?? Snacks?? Actual building going on? ................ I bet it deteriorated to some whiskeys and beers and some good chat ( solid BS 'war ' stories) eh? Seriously gob smacked by your painting skills................. beautiful work.... 2

No whiskey, I don’t drink and model. I keep Iso Alcohol on the bench, the good stuff stays downstairs. Come to think of it, we don’t keep whiskey in the house, only Rum, Silver Tequila, Moonshine (love apple or cherry), and A few varieties of Vodka. 3
Bomber_County Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 What are your buddies building? Always modelled alone, not sure if I could concentrate...... 3

I think there was a Revell Ar-196, a Wingnut, and a Tamiya tank or two. We do these get together at least every couple of months, then we have an Monday night show-n-share first Monday of every month. 4
1to1scale Posted January 17, 2020 Author Posted January 17, 2020 I did camo work and some more chipping, I also started working on the tracks, getting them covered in pigment. 5

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 18, 2020 Administrators Posted January 18, 2020 I’m gonna push my truck through and see if I can get it done. I’m just not an armor guy. 3

1to1scale Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 I did some in-chipping for some of the areas. In other words, I fixed some f-ups. 4 1
1to1scale Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 Now some wash. More work on the crew. 6 1
DocRob Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Looking great, beside the headless crew . The wash brought a lot of life into the Marder. Cheers Rob 3
1to1scale Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 I need to get the tracks on this thing and take some pics, so I can call this one done in time for the group build. 4
Jeff Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 The paint work and the chipping is spectacular ! 2
1to1scale Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 Finally done! I’ll take a few better photos outside tomorrow when the ran stops. 7
Jeff Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 3rd pic down, the guy standing on the left side looks absolutely real, he has expression on his face and your painting of him is exquisite !!!!! Awesome job on the model, all crew figures are great , but that guy stands out..... love what you did ! Take a bow !! 1

I have accepted my inability to paint a face, so I went extremely simple, I painted the flesh one color, used a brown wash, then used Tamiya’s weathering pastels as highlights. I didn’t even paint the eyes. I have to give credit to the new sculpt figures in the kit. 3
