Hi everyone. I've been hanging around Lugnet for a bit and stumbled in here one day. Of course I was hooked. So here is a small contribution to the community- my first military model. It is the German Marder III Tank Destroyer (Afrika Corps). I also have a gray European version of this one and am working on a snow camo one as well. I also have three other German armour and a couple of vehicles that I haven't taken pictures of yet, so those will have to come later. So, what do the more experienced think? Here are the pics: http://photos.imageevent.com/ej_up_late/bricklink2//mardertanfront.JPG http://photos.imageevent.com/ej_up_late/bricklink2//mardertanside.JPG http://photos.imageevent.com/ej_up_late/bricklink2//mardertanback.JPG If you like the figures, I have alot of them customized for WWII which can be seen on my Bricklink homepage under the link "WWII Figures and Vehicles". Thanks for your input! Erik Johnson EJ's Custom Castle http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=ej

(...) Hi Erik! Great Model! I've always loved the Afrika Corps color schemes, but finding enough tan is always a challenge. I really like how the light grey, interspersed with the tan (on the barrel, for instance), looks - nice highlighting and use (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.military)

		Re: Marder III North Africa
Erik, I can't classify myself as a more expereinced builder, or even a good one, but I really gravitate to the military models and I will say this is an excellent start. I am very interested in seeing your others. About how long did it take you to (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.military)

		Re: Marder III North Africa
Wow. Very nice tank. I'm curious to what "snow camo" looks like. Is it just all white or a mix of white and light gray? I'm really interested in seeing more of your MOCs. Are you sticking with ground vehicles or going to do a mix of air/land/sea? I (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.military)
