Hi guys We are well into 2024 and I have been so busy I haven't even thought about hobby plans for this year, at the end of 2022 I pledged that I would stick to 1/72 WWII for all of 2023, and I failed, I lasted 8 month before being lured away by other genres and scales, I had planned on doing the full year, then moving onto another genre for a year, however, I still have so much to do, and I really enjoy 1/72 WWII, so I'm committing myself to another full year, last year I made good progress on my Hungarians, 1940s French and Luftwaffe field Div, this year I will concentrate on the 21st Pz Div, and 1940 BEF, as well as making a start on Russian Naval infantry and assault engineers. I have already printed some of the vehicles for the 21st, but I did that before I taught myself CAD, so the detail is quite chunky on some of these vehicle, I'm not going to continue with the chunky detail, so my choices are re design the STL files and start over, or physically remove the detail and re detail the old fashioned way, I think I will do both, try and save these vehicles and future prints will be updated. I'm going to start by doing elements of kampfgruppe von luck, firstly his HQ, which will have himself, an MC recon element, a Pak 38, and a pioneer section, then I'll work on PzGren regt 125, Pz Aufk-Abt 21, Pz Regt 22, Storm-Abt 200 as well as some AT, AA and pioneer element. link

I look forward to seeing how it all goes, mate. You should have that tray done by the end of the week, do you think? :-) |

They look good. I'm curious as to what the AA vehicle is which is tucked away at the rear in the first photo. |

I am a simple chap and struggle to recognise many of the range produced. I can spot some French captured chassis maybe, but do think terrific imagination and novelty has gone into all this |

Looks wonderful. I thought about building some 21 Pz Div forces but was put off by the lack of appropriate vehicle models and I just love SdKfz 251s! |

Nice work – a la Artilleryman 21st Panzer in NW Europe is tricky due to the many French sourced vehicles |

What is this "plan" thing you speak of? |
pzivh43 ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 19 Feb 2024 6:11 p.m. PST |
Yes, everyone has a plan. Until you get punched in the face with a shiny article that pulls you off into a new period! |

Thanks mate, I like the look of that. I need to find one in 20mm. |
MilEFEX3030 | 20 Feb 2024 12:43 a.m. PST |
Wow, super cool, 1/72/20mm is my all time favorite too, I can't understand 28mm, sometimes worse detail and poses with less functionality! Anything you want is in 20mm! How do you make your green stuff so neat? I use Tamiya epoxy and it's kinda a mess. What brand are your metals? Where in Australia are you? I'm in Canberra. |
Gunner Dunbar ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 20 Feb 2024 1:03 a.m. PST |
The metals are mostly AB and Simon Soldiers, I do a lot of conversion, whole armies in fact, check my blog, so lots of GS practice. |
MilEFEX3030 | 20 Feb 2024 2:59 a.m. PST |
Very nice, I will check it out. I might look again at Simon's soldiers. Didn't think they'd mix well with AB. |
