lol... even the kit makers have been sneaky fellas... 
and why starving?... germany back then was quite a nice and cultural developed country... the stuf what happened later... it needed have to happen at all... but these basturds wanted it to happen...
the thing is... in all these time travel stories... they only set out to kill the barbling idiot... instead they should have planned in a bigger scale... fragging one idiot never solves problems that scale...

That's a really nice score you got there with that kit. Lots of nice little detail pieces AND a "free" turret. Cool.

Not that i don't like that you are buying and building vehicles and stuff. cuz i really do, in fact i love when you build vehicles! and they truly look amazing when you finnish them.
but what happened to bag end?  i mean the last we saw of it was back on page 15 i think. 
and i love that they snuck a turret in there! but it's kinda funny that there is nothing to put it on  those teasing mother  ers!

Well, it is incredibly detailed
But not as wide as a Chimera
Mind you, this is an Old-Skool Chimera, which has wider hips than the new kit
@Didde- Bag End is a HUGE project, much bigger than I ever anticipated it to be.

Wow the detail on the trundles are awesome, that side shot reminds me of the show howe and howe tech. They built the ripsaw tank, and in one episode the have it stripped down just to the gears and treads, like in your picture, and then run the treads while they shoot it with small arms, 50 caliber rounds, mortar shells, and then an ied. It survived all the tests and is being looked at by the government.

Well, these don't snap together and stay very well, even after clipping each one from the sprue, you then have to hold something smaller than your finger and then trim the dingleberries with a knife. I don't think this would be possible at all without liquid cement, my new friend

You can buy all sorts of tread sets like this, most of the aftermarket sets i've seen are for a specific model by a specific mfr. though. Seems like they would be tailor made for the sprockets and running gears though. not sure how they would fit anything else?

Tat is some pretty cool stuff! It lacks the correct amount of vegetation though, the flock he used is a good base, but it needs more and greener grasses.
Also the Hobbit holes are not in the correct Hobbiton layout

I have grass on the brain because I spent the whole day over at ye olde ancestral home in Ohio mowing the crap..now I need to mow my own grass
Check out the shiny facelift the barns got though
New siding, roof, doors, windows
I haven't seen them look that good since I was in diapers I think
I can only wish I'll look that good when I'm 100

i think i could only cope with that landscape for a fortnight... longer and i would go spare...all that free horizon stuff... *shudders*...
and that green grass is on the verge of looking unnatural...really... looks almost as if it glows... what are thy putting in the hose these days? electricity?

That was just the early morning sun, it was wet with dew here, and hour earlier it had frost on it from the freakishly chilly spring nights we've been having. If my camera battery hadn't died, I'd show you more of the horizon..fields everywhere you look, but the horizon ALWAYS has patches of woods in the way, otherwise you would be able to see the curvature of the earth it's so flat
At night though, the stars are like nothing you've ever seen, far away from city lights and smog.

that is probably what i am really envious about...
i only ever saw once the milky way... that was quite beautiful and disturbing as well... we were having a night op during service back then ...marching through some fields... really pissed off and exhausted... but during a short breather i looked to the sky...  ... didn´t happen that way ever again...
