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:

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!

(...) 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)

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)

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)
