Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.

I can't start mine until sunday or monday but one question first. Do we stick the build images in here or start a new thread?
 
Hi Steve,

For your build, you start a new thread under the GB main heading. Give it a title like, SteveT's 1/48 Eduard Tempest. Or the scale, brand and type of what you are going to build. A pic of the box, pics of the spues and stuff, pic of the decals, and a pic of the instruction sheet. Then you are off and running You can add info, if you wish, as you go along. HTH's

Prost

I've bought a tamiya sherman to join in at some point.....not sure when as I'm so out of practice I need to do something else first to get back in to the swing of things
 
Oh just go for it Paul, it's not a competition, just a themed way of everyone having some fun. You've got to start somewhere, so why not in good company?
 
Lol...I will do it but I'm so out of practice I need to restart slowly......it's going to frustrate the hell out of me that I cant build to the same standards that I used to

Don’t worry Paul just get stuck in ;). As Neil said it’s no competition, no one is going to judge your build :thumb2:

At least you’ve got a Tamiya Sherman, that will be simple enough to put together for this, nicely easing you back in the habit of building models :smiling3:

It's not so much as putting together, it's the painting and weathering lol
 
Oh, that bit … ;) Just start painting. If you don’t think it looks like you had in mind yet, put more paint on :)
 
Anyone else started? I plan on opening the box and taking images of the sprues tomorrow and then reading the instructions.

Stuck a few bits together yesterday so might post progress if I do a bit more today.
 
Silly question.

All the sites I've looked at insist that all US soldiers wore a gas mask during the D-day invasion. Considering it was such a momentous occasion, how come nobody except Dragon make 1/35 figures with gas masks - despite the fact there are quite a few sets saying they are D-day figures?

I'm toying with the idea of doing summat for this GB and a small dio with figures seemed OK - but I don't like Dragon kits (too many parts!). I've even thought of trying to make a gas mask but I fear that's beyond my limited abilities.

I'm OK with the idea that soldiers would discard them once landed, but that means I can't show the actual landing. Doohh!
