Aghis BarberopoulosAndre: The crazy guy behind the box is me - who else ???😉
Markus: I am not a skinhead - if that is what you thought at first. - Mind you, I am heading there in a few years from hair-loss 🙂 🙂

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchNo ,Aghis .To shave your head was not my first thought.
More down south 😉

Markus Kutsch The Plastic BenchA US Tanker Helmet is on my wishlist.Or a tanker jacket (there are some very good replicas but they are not cheap)
8 September 2012, 07:32
Aghis BarberopoulosJust a comment about the helmet: It is a real iron survivor from WW2. I recovered it from a chicken farm where it was used as a food container for the birds !!! I cleaned it and painted it 20 years ago with humbrol panzer gray, and it is too small in size for my head... It is of course missing all the harness, that's why it barely fits in my head😉
8 September 2012, 15:46
Aghis BarberopoulosEven unshaved and behind glasses ? Kind of you Christian 🙂
8 September 2012, 16:10
Aghis BarberopoulosIt is original, yes but actually it is too small in size for me... 🙂
4 March 2013, 18:07
Raimondas CiuplysOn my wishlist as well 🙂 Any decent proposals? And yes, cool helmet, Aghis 🙂
4 March 2013, 18:55
Holger KranichHey Aghis, my dear friend!
When will you begin that wonderful kit?
Will you apply Zimmerit on it? Would be cool to have a simultanous build with you!!!🙂
All The best to Athens!
4 March 2013, 20:41
Holger KranichZimmerized- nice word, urban!
So our Zimmermaniac is Zimmerized too?🙂😢
4 March 2013, 21:30
Aghis Barberopoulos@Holger: I have already started it, but progress is slow... I can put a few photos in the album for you!
5 March 2013, 17:55
Aghis BarberopoulosActually, from the box + Voyager PE set + Friul Tracks + Royal Model figures...
6 March 2013, 17:18
Mike Kryza...is it necessary using a PE set?? - I have the same kit and I think the box contents all you need for a fine model.
6 March 2013, 19:38
Aghis BarberopoulosTry the fenders...far too thick for my taste, plus I want to give them some battle damage. Otherwise the kit is very good with one exception: the tracks.
6 March 2013, 19:46
Holger KranichSince two evenings i´m working on my friuls... They are making me crazy, but i learned some lessons for further Friultracks... First i drilled all 440(?) pieces with a 0,5mm bit, then noticed that the given wire is too thick for that... Now i´m drilling all again with a 0,8mm bit... But the result is really rewarding!
7 March 2013, 07:26
Holger KranichChristian, wenn man eine hat, ja...! Ausserdem hat man herstellerseitig einen 0,5mm Bohrer angegeben und da hab ich Töffel mich drauf verlassen...😛
7 March 2013, 08:12
Frank Krause@Holger: Interesting! 0,5mm was always ok so far for me. I've got to check my Elephant Friul's.
7 March 2013, 10:24
Holger KranichFrank, they maybe have new wires with an other diameter in the box?
7 March 2013, 10:44
Aghis BarberopoulosI used their in-box recommendation and it came out OK, it took me 8 hours per track to finish the assembly...but it was worth it!
7 March 2013, 19:18
Aghis BarberopoulosIt's a slow build, since I am not a panzermann, but I will post photos of what it looks like now.
8 May 2013, 16:49
Burkhard DI know it is old by now and I may have commented on it further up...but this is clearly the top photo entry of 2012 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
8 May 2013, 18:20
Aghis BarberopoulosHey guys, talking about Elefants...this is mind blowing

After this I am seriously tempted 😉
13 May 2013, 15:57
Holger KranichHey Buddy, any progress here?
Or does the progress only mean, collecting dust?😢😄
8 July 2014, 18:27
Aghis BarberopoulosCollecting dust at the moment due to the Marder, that little critter is almost done, plus it is summer and I am hitting the beach frequently !!! 🙂
8 July 2014, 19:39
Holger KranichOh Aghis, i do the same, actually!🙂
But now i hit the couch to watch the football match!
I hope we can beat Brasil!😢
8 July 2014, 19:46
Aghis Barberopoulos@Holger: You hope to beat Brazil ? That sounds funny today! For Brazil it was game over at the 11th minute of the first half...
