The Neglected Kit Resurrection Groupbuild

Kim Branders
So far with the builds but you don`t finish it.Shame on you😉

Frank Krause
Yeah, Kim! Most of them were started, when I was still living in Japan. We moved to Germany, before I could finish them. Now I put them in my album of shame to get noticed once a while and put my hands on them...

Holger Kranich
Very nice Bergepanther and sWS!

james johnson
Hey! I think I see a couple of figures in there! What's up with that Frank?
Good looking models.

Frank Krause
@James: Once a while I give figures a try, but... they are representing my figure painting skills. Still a lot of work to do!

Frank Krause
Just added my biggest shame object - Tamiya's M2 Bradley with Interior. Started before my move to JP (before 1995). It got stored at my parents home, until I found it there after return to DE...

Stefan Schneider
Somehow I am quite happy that I am not the only one with unfinished projects🙂

Mike Kryza
Hi Frank - a lot of work to do... - Btw I like the real dust on some models...😉 😄

Acki
No worries Frank. One day it´s nice to finish those kits.

Augie
Plenty of time to finish them frank 🙂

they are all good 🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Look at it this way: a model is rarely finished, it is usually abandoned at one stage or other...🙂

Es-haq Khosravi
Great!!

Christian Meyerhoff
The dust covered VW says it All🙂 But please finish the Stug. Looks yery nice even unfinished. By the way... When taking a look at your stash it does not make me wonder that from time to time something is not finished ??? 🙂

Stefan Suessemilch
Shame on me too....stil got a lot to finish and restore 😳

H K
Don`t worry Frank. My Sd. Kfz. 223 got the first taste of paint last week 🙂- after more than 20 years.

Dave Flitton
Just a little effort will finish these, but I bet there is a fear factor in there somewhere

Holger Kranich
Yes, finish the StuG, it's almost done and looks beautiful even now!

Frank Krause
@Dave: Yepp, you're right. For some there is quite a fear factor, especially for the StuG III. That camo took me days and I don't want to mess it up. But - just a little effort... and some guts will do it.
@H K: Actually I stopped with the 223, because of the figure coming with the kit. Some clear varnish and some dry-brushing should do it with the car... and, of course, the figure.
@Holger: Let's see. For the kits on hold I need a certain kick, then it will go fine.

Augie
*giggles and administers the required kick*

H K
These shelf-queens are perfect for trying out new products. I will try the AK interaktive dust effects on the 223er for example.

Frank Krause
I don't need AK - just see the "natural" dust effects on the VW Käfer.😉😉😉

H K
-🙂

Stefan Suessemilch
LOOOL Frank... 😄

william wise
Alright frank you need to do what I just did and and clean up the shelf of shame you will feel much better

Gerald
"natural dust" from FK Aktive 🙂

Frank Krause
@William: Yepp! The VW and the T-34 already paid a short visit on the workbench and received a coat of clear satin varnish. They do look better now.
@Gerald: I should file a patent for that...?!😉

Eend
Where can we buy FK Aktive Natural Dust? It looks very realistic😉

Choppa Nutta
ah Frank you've created two photo albums for this groupbuild ! 🙂
well I did say there were no rules but one really loose one 🙂
although I did wonder about having two albums with the same name now I know 🙂
Though it might be best to have just one album for all our neglected kits, up to you of course, if you really want two albums have two 🙂

Frank Krause
I've created this album already a year ago and just renamed it today, because I did not want to duplicate the photos. I'll delete the new album with the 2 pics.

Choppa Nutta
yeah that seems sensible 🙂

Mike Kryza
Hi Frank - you have the good chance in finishing your "dead bodies" next year on the island...😉

Christian Meyerhoff
Hi Frank! Das geht doch runter wie Öl 🙂 So let`s see who is the first one finishing one of it`s shelve queens 🙂

Choppa Nutta
I think its going to be Frank !! all he's got to do is put the lid on it and it's done 😄😉
I am getting close though, just another 30 or so small decals, Klear coats, a modest bit of weathering, more Klear coats and then glue on the last 11 pieces and I am done 🙂

Wanna race Frank ? 😄
Actually thats an idea first person to finish can have their model up on the heading picture of the group for this first month ! 🙂

Christian Meyerhoff
@Mike: Dead bodies on the island??? That`s keeps me thinking...🙂

Mike Kryza
Christian - don't think too much... 🙂

Christian Meyerhoff
Well, I try my very best...🙂

Vorya hidaryan
Nice work Frank i like the Sturmgeschütz it's awesome i think it's hard to make those camo only with paint brushes😉
