Hasegawa 1946 251s

two easy conversion of Hasegawa 251
by placing plasticard cut to measurements to cover trop compartment minimal filler and sanding

and cut a hole to fit the 234/1 A/C turret
Thinking there may be a better alternative for the HANGELAFETTE turret

But still again not finished and working out the camo scheme
the IFV will be in Ambush scheme!

a full I.F.V type
(will do again with some sort of Hatch or Cupola -(see spares box))
so there can be a MG42 or something


Sd.Kfz 251/23D



The Hangelafette turret close fair bit of weathering and dry brushing to get to look like mesh



IN SITUATION:
Combat try phots



Into the combat zone with a squad of Panzer Grenadier ala Caesar

More of the Infantry sets later

Pegasus 1946

see below all work is in progress


PEGASUS 7606 JAGUARANDI TANK:


Back and Front



PEGASUS 7605 SCHWERE KLIENER:



Front and back


PEGASUS 7602 E-25 TANK:



just getting the Macro to focus

Front and back shot


In transit to phot shot



All six of the three kits (two per box if you didn't know or i haven't mentioned)





with dragons Jagdpanzer (well one of them) and there is an Italeri Kubel wagon for comparisons learking around)



Probably all very similar shots, But still deciding on the Camo schemes and fixing the paint job on my Jagdpanzer which doesn't seem to look right, after dabbing paint with cotton wool. Maybe more weathering it looks like a model rather than a crew applied paint job!!!...





On the way to Front 1946 "what if?" Parade Phot

Tools of the TRADE 1#

Down the local $2 shop (reject shop) these adjustable clamps with a squeeze pump action to tighten right up, And there is a good deal of pressure. And a push button release to push and pull back on. Only bought the two, As only if i am building more than one kit at a time will i need more. (damn it!!) Like when would I have more than one thing at time being built?



Holding a (DML) Dragon figure for example of in use
The push button release just near my fore finger
Don't pump too hard when using your finger as a test of pressure, Because even the release button only allows you to pull back the clamp on the Metal alignment!!
As in it's not spring loaded!!.


THE SPRING CLAMPS
and again a four pack of Spring clamps
You know walk in the shop and see these and you know the only thing in your head is "for Models".


In use, well for the Phot, Anyway

just another shot and a possible use underneath as the background?!
will four be enough

Am thinking if I see these again then possible double or triple up
But only to replace Australia post rubber bands and clothes pegs.
No they are still in use, Just sometimes those rubber band are Just not workable
Something will break, Or too tight or loose etc.

Now i will do the compartment boxes I have been finding.Rough idea of what I mean by Australia Post rubber bands
Matchbox and Airfix Churchill by the Way?

Cheers Karcuss
