OT. BTW, anybody here that doesn't do gundams? We need more Panzer lovers, and i seriously have a problem emulating zemerrit on my old konig tiger.

Would this make me l33t?



And they came with a whole bunch of stuffs with it:

Tiger Tank but not model kit. It's 1:18 pre-painted/assembled.

nice... would be better if you cantry custom paint too add some wear n tear/ weather effect to make it more realistic...

tamiya webiste have plenty of examples....

i might be venturing into the tank modelling soon.. since i saw in my place THE STORE now have model kit for tanks as well... quite cheap since its a China brand.. Kitech.

Maybe i'll give it a go

kuman

I have 1 elephant tank back in home town.....



dun have any with me now, beside dun have much time to sup em up....

1/6 action figures can join?

There's a couple of collectors here but there's no thread for them

guys anyone collecting Dragon Armor's 1/72 scale metal die cast tanks?
i checked the site seems dont have panzerkampfwagen IV in the series...

oh pls do post ur pics on 1/6 WWII figures
wif good pose

wanna share this, it is my friend's
i hope he dont mind
it's a B-17 Flying Fortress, it's really HUGE

i got one tamiya 1/35 tank which i bot 8 years ago. will post pics soon!@!@
but its destroyed tho.with missing armour plate and a detachable turret.

empire23,

Zimmerit here's some tips:
1) get a mini saw blade - the tip assembles the zimmerit pattern.
2) Epoxy putty - mix the 2 parts together and place them on your tank surface inch by inch. While doing that, use the saw blade and scribe the pattern onto the surpace of the epoxy.

to add effect, after drying, use a sharp object to break little parts of the zimmerit to assemble detached zimmerit, but don't over do this.

Hope this tip helps!

after i build a model, can I send it anywhere for an airbrush finish? i can afford to buy a compressor.... i wish i could have some nice airbrush finish on my tank.

If you are really taking this hobby to the next level, u should invest in a airbrush/compressor set! It's a MUST if you are serious in this hobby!

hey tats nice.... u know how much ?? wat scale ?

ok. i get it.

Here's some of my creations

How come i can't post my pictures here ah?

hey ? aren't there's a thread for figure ? i think u can join there leh

Whoaa...saw this great model of the Kingtiger for Battle of the bulge wan...damn nice...metal parts included. Metal gun too. Brass parts for super detail. Single track links...Every tank in the company that participated has a number and this kit has all of it...

Er...Kingtiger usually dun use zimmerit unless its the porsche version as its the late version. During the end of the war, the wehrmacht was on the retreat so zimmerit is of no use. They no longer take part in massive assaults but retreating. So to ambush enemies from long range, zimmerits not so favourable la...besides its additional weight on the tank.

Question: Do u paint the part 1st then cut and join OR cut join then paint that part?


thanks

usually u assemble the parts first...cut off the stem remains, putty and sandpaper, primer up, after that check for uneven surfaces...if got putty and sand again. then only spray color...first coat usually used for weathering paint then followed by the camouflage and so on.

thanks!

One of my creations.

great stuff.

i used fix up WW2 tamiya, academy and dragon kits (30++ at last count). Picked up the hobby coz was very impressed with the dioramas people created for competition. unfortunately they went against godzilla on a rampage (mum with a feather duster + dustbin) one fine day and that was the last i saw them. those poor baskets. i bet they put up one hell of a fight

My only 2 creation. Hand painted but forgot to put decals.

Wa... i didn't know that LYN also got modellers here. Well i'm rite now more of a collector of models.... hehehehe

Hi all,

I'm new to all these military model kits and I'm a huge fan of all these military models. Therefore, I was wondering which brand that I should get as a starter of military model kits collecter? I believe there some brand which is good in detailing of the models while some are not.

What would be the standard price and scale as of these military model kits? I was thinking to get some tanks model as my starter collection. Anyone could provide me the information of what should I get? For instance, any guidelines for the paintbrush? any guidelines for the glue brand and type? I was thinking to get some 1/72 scale of model kits from hlj.com or local stores. Is that advisable?

Any help is much appreciated

ConquerorX,

U can forward ur queries on military modelling in this malaysian modelling forum:
Scalemodelmalaysia

Hi emechelmi,

Thanks for the information. I will forward my enquiries there

any1 can giv me a few pointers on painting a nice camo on my SU-27 flanker B,1:27 model

Guys ..Do you know where to get these models.....I'm not a hardcore fan so is there any shop stock this in USJ area ?

omg enjiner...u rox!
all the weathering skills...not to mention other effects...cool!

i always want to venture into this hobby but when i was a kid dad thinks it was too expensive. now im older im thinking of rekindling the minat. know what i mean?

whats the best model to start with. i heard everyone should start with PLANES and tanks last. due to the the complexity of tank models.

do tell coz i always want flail sherman on my desktop.. complete with flamethrower

Well, can I say come on in?

Anyway, tank models are not that complex, you can always start with the simple kits. Tamiya's kits are easy to build, especially their older kits. Of course, you can't just jump into the hobby building a Premium Edition DML Panther tank! Start slowly and you can move on to more complex kits once you have gain confidence. Perhaps you can try Tamiya's new 1/48 scale tanks?

Any models can be complex especially if you decide add resin replacement parts/add-on parts, photo-etch, metal parts, aftermarket decals etc etc...

And talk about that Sherman.. I don't think that there is both a flail (crab) and flamethrower (crocodile) on the same tank at the same time!

musta have got confused then. is it just me of WW2 tanks seems to be the favs among model builders. i always like the sherman especially the DD tank variant. maybe they have more personality than current tanks.

i'm starting to love thoe Nazi panzers...might start wif Tiger I hehe...how mcuh for a Tamiya 1?

Anyone know where to get a 1:800 Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier decal?
It is an old kits....
I wonder does any manufacturer still producing 1:800 warships?
As I checked, mostly are 1:350 or 1:700 nowadays.....

Thanks.

From RM130 above, I guess. I got my Initial version for RM130 in 2007.

Added on January 7, 2009, 11:26 amI'm not sure about USJ and I don't think Toys R Us stock model kits anymore. Ok maybe you can try Miniature Hobbies at SS14 PJ (near Jaya Supermarket). Its located above the Sushi King (or is it TGI Friday's?)

is it all just about tanks? what about warships and fighter jets?

this is an expensive hobby. and you'll need space for them too.

the more enpensive the model kit
