Aghis Barberopoulos
Andre: 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 Bench
No ,Aghis .To shave your head was not my first thought.
More down south 😉

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
A US Tanker Helmet is on my wishlist.Or a tanker jacket (there are some very good replicas but they are not cheap)

Augie
I just realised i should of held off until I could be female here😉

Aghis Barberopoulos
Just 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😉

Christian Lehmann
Nice to see the real face 😉

Aghis Barberopoulos
Even unshaved and behind glasses ? Kind of you Christian 🙂

Christian Lehmann
Better than the sith

Acki
Hi Aghis, I agree with Christian. Cool to see a face.

Aghis Barberopoulos
Yeah, I agree but...sith happens... 🙂

Christian Lehmann
LOL

Es-haq Khosravi
What a helmet! Is it original?! 👍

Aghis Barberopoulos
It is original, yes but actually it is too small in size for me... 🙂

Raimondas Ciuplys
On my wishlist as well 🙂 Any decent proposals? And yes, cool helmet, Aghis 🙂

Holger Kranich
Hey 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!

Urban Gardini
It's already zimmerized by Dragon in the box.

Holger Kranich
Zimmerized- nice word, urban!
So our Zimmermaniac is Zimmerized too?🙂😢

Urban Gardini
😉

Aghis Barberopoulos
@Holger: I have already started it, but progress is slow... I can put a few photos in the album for you!

Aghis Barberopoulos
@Urban: ZIMMERIZED by Dragon!!! 🙂 🙂 😄

Christian Lehmann
Aghis the Zimminator. He´ll be back😄

Holger Kranich
Oh yes Aghis, would be a pleasure to watch your progress!!!

Holger Kranich
Hmmm, looks gooooood! Straight from the box???

Mike Kryza
...nice start!! - 🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Actually, from the box + Voyager PE set + Friul Tracks + Royal Model figures...

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.

Aghis Barberopoulos
Try 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.

Holger Kranich
Since 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!

Christian Lehmann
Hallo Holger, eine Schieblehre wirkt manchmal Wunder🙂

Holger Kranich
Christian, wenn man eine hat, ja...! Ausserdem hat man herstellerseitig einen 0,5mm Bohrer angegeben und da hab ich Töffel mich drauf verlassen...😛

Acki
Holger ist our drill instructor.

Frank Krause
@Holger: Interesting! 0,5mm was always ok so far for me. I've got to check my Elephant Friul's.

Holger Kranich
Frank, they maybe have new wires with an other diameter in the box?

Frank Krause
I'll tell you this evening...

Aghis Barberopoulos
I 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!

uncle chop chop
looken gear'd up for building mate

Christian Lehmann
looks realistic

Aghis Barberopoulos
It's a slow build, since I am not a panzermann, but I will post photos of what it looks like now.

Burkhard D
I 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 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Hahaha you do have a good sense of humor 🙂 🙂

Holger Kranich
I absolutely agree with Burkhard!!!!!

Stefan Suessemilch
Yep Burkhard, it's also on top of my list of favourite pics 🙂

Aghis Barberopoulos
Hey guys, talking about Elefants...this is mind blowing
public.fotki.com/Lie..mour/armour-135/wip/

After this I am seriously tempted 😉

Holger Kranich
Hey Buddy, any progress here?
Or does the progress only mean, collecting dust?😢😄

Aghis Barberopoulos
Collecting 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 !!! 🙂

Holger Kranich
Oh Aghis, i do the same, actually!🙂

But now i hit the couch to watch the football match!
I hope we can beat Brasil!😢

Choppa Nutta
lol !! nice helmet 😄

Youtube Video

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...

Holger Kranich
7:1!😄
