Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.

[Guest]

I can't start mine until sunday or monday but one question first. Do we stick the build images in here or start a new thread?

[Lee Drennen]

some of your own battlefields?

I have there’s a Civil War battlefield just 20mins away from my house.

[Allen Dewire]

Hi Steve,

For your build, you start a new thread under the GB main heading. Give it a title like, SteveT's 1/48 Eduard Tempest. Or the scale, brand and type of what you are going to build. A pic of the box, pics of the spues and stuff, pic of the decals, and a pic of the instruction sheet. Then you are off and running You can add info, if you wish, as you go along. HTH's

Prost

I've bought a tamiya sherman to join in at some point.....not sure when as I'm so out of practice I need to do something else first to get back in to the swing of things

[Neil Merryweather]

Oh just go for it Paul, it's not a competition, just a themed way of everyone having some fun. You've got to start somewhere, so why not in good company?

[PaulTRose]

Lol...I will do it but I'm so out of practice I need to restart slowly......it's going to frustrate the hell out of me that I cant build to the same standards that I used to

[Geoffers]

Don’t worry Paul just get stuck in . As Neil said it’s no competition, no one is going to judge your build :thumb2:

At least you’ve got a Tamiya Sherman, that will be simple enough to put together for this, nicely easing you back in the habit of building models

It's not so much as putting together, it's the painting and weathering lol

[Guest]

Oh, that bit … Just start painting. If you don’t think it looks like you had in mind yet, put more paint on

Anyone else started? I plan on opening the box and taking images of the sprues tomorrow and then reading the instructions.

Stuck a few bits together yesterday so might post progress if I do a bit more today.

Not me yet, I want to finish the Tyrrell P.34 first but I’m struggling with motivation on that one
