<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well after a hiatus where life and working around the house on things I had to do rather than something I wanted has again passed, I finally have some progress to report on my Academy Grant tank project. I finally finished the suspension and moved into the interior, whereupon I found myself with a quandary. When I started modeling 20 something years ago, the armor was a shell. I began this project with the idea to finish it quick and use it to resurrect my techniques. However as I move forward, I’m finding that the models are now incredibly more detailed than when I was a child. My Grant tank has a complete interior with much small detail. I now have to decide whether to skip the interior parts and complete the shell to practice my weathering and painting or complete the interior in as much detail as I can, using the entire model for the practice. The problem being that it will of course, significantly extend the time it takes me to complete my practice model.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m inclined to complete the small details of the Grant, but this will move the start of my planned North African diorama back quite a while.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've changed my modeling philosophy--and decided to go big---buy a few kits, each of which may take several months in the construction process--I'll take my time in their construction, and will always have something going on. First I purchased the smaller of my two most recently acquired models.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Karl Gerat Mortar. This tracked siege mortar fired a 24" shell 6 miles. It was originally devised for attacking the French border forts. However the blitzkrieg happened and the 6 morsers produced were used on the Russian Front. This model is approx. 21 inches long when completed and I purchased it's accompanying Munition Schlepper based on a panzer MK III chassis. This track mortar is the baby of the recent purchases. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Second purchase (and the kit i will start first) is the German K5 Railway gun known as Leopold to the Germans and to the American's it was known as Anzio Annie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The K5 railway gun was also designed to attack the French Border fortifications as with the Karl Mortar other uses for it--such as shelling England from France (!!!) were found. This rifled cannon fired a 16 inch shell over 11 miles. </span></div>

While our armies are advancing so fast and everyone's knocking themselves out to be heroes, we are holding ourselves in reserve in case the Krauts mount a counteroffensive which threatens Paris... or maybe even New York. Then we can move in and stop them. But for 1.6 million dollars, we could become heroes for three days.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have so far built a Revell Swimmwagen--the only model of this vehicle available with the soft top up option...I am currently constructing a Sd.Kfz.251 Hanomag half track by Tamyia. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The German's produced 15,000 Sd.Kfz.251's during World War Two in numerous variations--the Tamyia model i am building is the basic troop transport model..an older kit--but excellently produced. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have attempted several new techniques with this particular construction---first of all--I used an airbrush for the base coat paint...I am also constructing the model in stages as I have seen many modelers do in the internet. I am also attempting to build aftermarket tracks for this vehicle, rather than use the cheesy, one piece plastic track bands that come with the kit itself. I have to admit that these are extremely tough to construct. Little tiny, tiny little pieces and lots and lots of them. I'll have to advise on how this process turns out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like the Oz and Bruce am a late returner to military modeling--there is a vast difference this time around and the difference is the Internet and the laptop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last time I had built a plastic model--there was no Internet--no means to access anything other than mail order catalogs out of the backs of a very very few modeling magazines----and reference material--what little you had access to you guarded as if it was <i>the one ring to control them all</i> from Mordor. Reference books were horribly expensive--and there were few...copy machines were a rarity inhabiting places of business only--</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This time around at the modeling bench--is so, so different---I have a used IBM thinkpad T-42 that i use only for modeling reference...it's a seen better days...laptop i picked up for a song--but it works excellently to search for and save vehicle references, articles and to have open displaying actually archive photographs while i am modeling. The amount and quality of reference material available today on the Net even displays photographic reference of one off German experimental vehicles that never reached production. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Well I feel like I’ve had a productive weekend on my modeling. First and foremost, I’m just getting back into this after a 20+ year sabbatical, I had to replace everything. Tools, paints, glues, get some kits, all before I could even touch a model. That was finally accomplished last weekend, where I had enough basics to start on my first project an Academy M3 Grant tank. This will be my 1st go and I’m keeping it simple to scrape off the rust- no diorama or extensive rework, just a straight model build and basic painting, with a little weathering. (that’s the plan at least)<u></u><u></u></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> I started looking over the parts and disconnecting some from the trees last weekend. While I was working, I came to realize that I was uncomfortable working at the dining table and every time I got up, I had to put everything away. After looking around the house, I was amazed to find that I had a built in workbench in the garage, that was covered in junk, tools and house paint cans. I spent a couple hours yesterday morning reorganizing and cleaning, and lo and behold- I have a modeling bench!<u></u><u></u></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> I woke early this morning and fortified with a cup of coffee, embarked on my journey. I started by painting the exterior of the lower hull and filling and sanding some press marks. While that dried I worked on the lower trunions. I am amazed at the level of detail included in the new models. I also had my first experience of a small part leaping from my forceps and vanishing in thin air before my eyes, never to be seen again…. There are many extra (?) parts included in the set, complete extra drive sprockets, for example, but not this one..hummmm.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The level of detail is amazing to me. Bolt heads highlighted on the hull armor, fine scribing of lines and welds. They really have come a long way since my youth. I base coated the trunions and will wait till later this week to paint the rubber on the bogie wheel rims. Baby steps..<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The October 2012 issue of FSM is on the stands. I found a few great articles for those working on realistic armor dioramas in this issue. Here’s a rundown of this month’s articles:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I found the article on detailing the <i>SdKfz 124 Wespe</i> particularly useful. The author discussed several options for interior detailing along with different materials and techniques. The finished product looks great and the step-by-step instructions are helpful.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">The simple technique for making mud was easy to follow with no expensive ingredients or tools to buy; brushes, plaster of Paris, acrylic gel and some dirt/aggregate!</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Gel medium can be used to model realistic water, but it can be expensive. I use Sobo, a craft and fabric glue made by Delta. It dries to a glossy finish and it behaves like rubber. Drying time is fast, and it can be easily painted. You can texture it to make waves before it completely dries; if you pour candle wax first, you can depict ordnance impacts. Always wear eye protection to guard against splashes.</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bruce has located an excellent site--in Britain for reference and drooling modeling envy of their finished projects. The Miniature Armoured Fighting Vehicle Association. Excellent modeling, beautiful photography and a great place to go for ideas and references.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a definite bookmark site for modelers. The Brits are so good at creating and supporting hobby organizations---(which we of course are trying to do). It may be because eccentrics are really appreciated in Great Britain...ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But much thanks to Bruce for finding this excellent site. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Germans never really thought out their desired invasion of Great Britain very well and the landwasserschlepper displays their attitude of "I kinda want to invade but i'm not really so sure on how to do it?" </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The landwasserschlepper (I love writing that word) was designed to pull a wheeled, boat like trailer full of troops across the English Channel along with the 20 troops which could be carried internally. Then onto the beaches, after which time, I imagine, they would turn about for another load and repeat the process. A couple of problems arose--first they would have needed thousands of these vehicles which were <i>really</i> complex mechanically and tough to produce at those numbers. Secondly the landwasserschlepper was <i>not</i> armored--because of the, we need it to travel across the ocean like a boat thing going on and neither was the troop trailer it was suppose to tow. Armored things have a tendency to sink in the water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unless the British sort of forgot to shoot at them while landing, this was going to be a severe problem and after building 12 landwasserschleppers the entire idea of invading Britain wound up being called off and that Russian vacation we all know of took it's place. There was a thought of using the landwasserschlepper in Russia, due to the large swamps, rivers etc...but that lack of armor thing came back around and that was called off although a second prototype was produced that was armored..but only two of those made it off the assembly line.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 12 Schleppers that were produced wound up being stationed in Denmark and Norway--great duty for a German guy if you managed to be a crew member of this detachment and nobody really knows what they actually <u>did</u> there except take a bunch of photo's, which still exist (lucky for us modelers) and date the Danish girls. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of this background brings me to my current project a 1/35th landwasserschlepper---an excellent kit, very detailed, producing a big model, because in all actuality these things were REALLY big---a tankboat--- so try and imagine a big boat on treads driving down your street. This kit fits my personally bizzare, major requirement of a model being very, very mechanically unusual.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did purchase two supplemental items to work into the Landwasserschlepper model. First is a Verlinden 1/35th German pioneer raft, supplies and figure kit. This kit has been around for years and considering the amount of material you get with the kit, barrels, ammo cans, tool boxes, jerry cans, paddles and the two figures it is an excellent value for the cost. My plan is to construct a tubular rack on the landwasserschlepper rear deck to hold the below illustrated inflatable raft just to add interest..plus i'll put the barrels and other supply materials to work onto/into the schlepper....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Crewing the Landwasserschlepper was another problem--that is until I found the below illustrated 1/35 Italeri kit designed as a crew for their 1/35 German version of a PT boat called the Schnellboot. These figures are easily adaptable to the landwasserschlepper, they are modled with standard helmets and coveralls, which could easily represent any German service unit and are molded with life vests--which was the big selling point to me for use on the landwasserschlepper. The kit contains 10 figures...</span><br />

I think one of the most important part of executing a model or diorama, apart from the enjoyment of the hobby, is getting the historical details correct. It’s important to have several reference books on tanks, uniforms and equipment to ensure the details of the model are done correctly. That generally takes care of the technical aspect of accuracy. There is another aspect, namely the historical aspect that deserves attention. The best way to get those details correct is to scour over as many books and photographs as possible. Eventually, the trends emerge, a pattern of soldierly conduct becomes visible and it becomes easier to develop a realistic diorama based on hours of enjoyable photo study and research.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I, for one, enjoy the obscure little details that are hidden in unpublished photographs. I recall a diorama where a modeler placed an M3 fighting knife in an M8 scabbard and mounted it upside down on the web suspenders of his ww2 paratrooper figure. He was chastised for using what was “clearly” only done during Vietnam. One observant fellow quickly posted an original WW2 photo with a paratrooper doing the same thing. End of discussion.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I believe it is imperative to devote an appropriate amount of time studying photos before embarking on a diorama. The more the study/research, the more accurate and hence realistic the rendering will be. Rather than spending hundreds of dollars on mounds of books (which I think is fine) I would recommend visiting:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are extremely lucky in the fact that Bruce knows an actual professional figure painter who works in 1/72 scale...(yes there are such people) and if we increase our numbers somewhat we are planning on asking him to come to a meeting and give a demonstration, advice and interrogate him for any secrets.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course we understand that practice is what makes perfect but the nice thing about our group is that complaining about how tough it is painting a decent 1/35 military figure is open for discussion at any given moment---this is one element we are planning on focusing a group effort on to improve all our individual talents in this area.</span><br />

We hope to build a group that will share knowledge, success's and mistakes. </span><br />
