It's been a long time since I've posted here, I'm in the middle of dealing with Photobucket's decision to charge for third party hosting ($500.00+AUD!! :o) a year and moving my photos to Flickr. I also could not log on to BTS after a computer fail that forced a full system reboot after a week of saving things to a harddrive and reloading what needed ::) ::)
Although not a WHIFF I've completed this rebuild of one of the few models I have that 'Trackheads' can relate to. ;)
Matchbox PK-81 Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf.G '375', 10th Pz.Div. 14th Pz. Korps, Russia summer 1941. First built during 1978, damaged during the 1980's and stored 'till 19Mar2017 when I commenced a rebuild thread here; http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=50658 (http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=50658) ,finishing it 11Jun2017.
Tried a lot of techniques I had learnt about with varying degrees of success, didn't come out quite the way I had envisioned the finished product, but finished it is :)

Hey, Bro, good to see you back! :D
I was getting worried! Almost to the email followed by phone call point. :icon_crap:
And you're back with a neat little piece of treadhead stuff! .... You sure you're all right? ???
-
Thanks for the comment Wombat :)
Thought you would've recognised this from my bookshelf in the dark dim past, try the ATF link ;)
Got quite a few "things with wheels an' tracks" to do (and repair/rebuild) in various scales, so I needed a "test" subject to try techniques on, glad you liked it :) :)
Personal note, it's not been a good year :(
Regards

Liking your work and glad to see you back. :)

Thank you for the kind comment Claymore :)
-
That is not a very large vehicle in 1:35th scale so I can appreciate the work you put in to the same subject in 1:72nd scale. Looking good! :)
-
Thankyou for the comment Jeffery :) no she's not very big at all (1/72 - 1/76 are my preference) but it was as much fun as the larger scales :-*

On Saturday 07Sep2019 I attended the Sydney Scale Model Show and for the first time in thirty years I entered some of my models.
This little Panzer II was entered into Small Scale Military Vehicles (1/61 scale and below) and was judged purely on the tank with the Matchbox display base ignored as per the class rules.
On the table,

A close to prove the small coloured blob is indeed my Panzer II,

Just to make sure I did place here's the Panzer II at home with her certificate,

So I actually placed in the two classes I had entered, what an official return to the hobby 8) 8)

Heartiest congratulations on one mighty fine Panzerkampfwagen (gesundheit) diorama!
Very well earned, very well earned indeed.

So a first for the Focke, and still a rank for the tank! Nice work - and the base IS terrific, by the way.
-
Good grief, you built an armour kit! :o
And it placed! 8) :smiley:
See, always said you were better than you thought! ;)

Thank you very much gentlemen for that. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Brian and Dr. YoKai I'm glad you like the supplied Matchbox dio as well as my Panzer, I had fun changing the dio from North Africa to Russia ;)
Yes Wombat I thought we'd already established I do stray into "wheelie/tracky things" . . . . . maybe when unwell ;D
And you coulda knocked meself over with a feather at winning anything at all fella, I had hopes for my abilities but that was just . . . gobsmacking, surprising, REALLY???.
I've been talked into joining the APMA here in Sydney (gotta save for it) and strongarmed into attending the Canberra Model show 09-10Nov2019 by some of their members :-[
So now I'm up against a deadline with three new builds, one not even started yet ::) I'll also be taking the Fw, Panzer II, maybe another piece of armour, a floaty thing and maybe even the "Sorta Stang"
31degC today in Sydney, hmmmm, thirsty . . . . . .
Cheers and regards gents :icon_beer: :icon_beer: :icon_beer:
