Does anyone think that I will have enough time to make a Dragon Models 1:35 '39-'45 series Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G Apr-May 1943 Production? :blink: http://www.lonesentr...-production.jpg

It usually takes about a good half a year to build, paint, and weather one. But maybe I can rush it? :Smile_harp:

oh HECK yeah! I am IN!!!!!!! Got an academy M36 on the bench just waiting.... (But come on, I can't enter my 1/16th trumpeter T34? :( )

Also, 1 question. what if our model has an interior? My slugger has a full interior that just BEGS to be shown. Can we include an extra shot of that?
(Oh, and how about some AMPS judges? There are none better, call up Shepherd Paine and get HIM to judge submissions!)

I have the same kit, but I was thinking no because of the extra skirts etc. I am mainly thinking my Panzerjager 1 cause I love it as my goto chill tank in game but is it (tier 2 TD) ballsy enough??? What do peeps think???PZjg1  ballsy enough???


Pity I cant use my Trumpeter 1/16 KT hehe.
