The first Trumpeter that I had ever built and I loved it.
You'll enjoy that one.

Well I'll be doing this little baby, I just love some of the Russian camo's in the game now.

By using this.

Post by **Tiger131** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:21 pm

Post by **Coen** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:56 pm

Post by **McLeod** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:09 pm

Ah you got the Churchill III, I love that tank, had a 3004 xp round in that lol.

Post by **Coen** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 8:13 pm

I think that I got Ace Tanker in one of my Churchills.
I can't remember which now. I haven't played in a while now... So busy.

yeah, getting back into modelling will make my WoT suffer but I wanna do something more constructive than just play games lol

Post by **Coen** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 9:23 pm

My wife would disagree with that statement if I tried to use it.
Though supportive of my hobby, she's not a fan.

My ex was worse, she couldn't understand me spending money on anything that didn't involve her or the house lol

Post by **Tiger131** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 10:09 pm

i know that one but as long as she spends the same on shoes and make up shes happy

If you don't mind telling us how much you sunk in WoT so far? I paid 30$ roughly and still. Get my a_$ handed to me!

Yeah! I reinstalled! Sold all my crapy tanks and bought a Pzr V
All I could by for 30$. I cant justify paying over and over for playing the same game !

Well I've been playing WoT since just after the open beta started, so about 2 years 7 months or so and I'm not sure how much I've spent, it has to be more than £1000 though as when I was working I could easily put £50 or more into it per month lol.

Now its not so much, just enough to keep a premium account going really, £15 per month or so.

Finally decided what im going to build love this tank bit of a different colour scheme on the camo should be fun to paint.

This is my main tank I use in-game alot more detailed than I first thought to.
Now just need to find a kit for it lol.

Tamiya and Dragon are your friends for Pzr IV

Here's my entry the mighty tortoise

Post by **Coen** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 9:45 am

WHoa... that's gonna be a big build Dude.
Cool!

Russ you will be using the Meng kit then yeah! Lol.

I don't bother with a premium account or using real money for this game. I don't play it often enough, or take it seriously enough to justify it. So I will always have basic tanks with no add-ons etc other than the upgrades you get through XP points. Anything that requires gold I can't have, or lots of the silver coins.

Was playing last night and had a few good rounds (a good round for me starts by me surviving! Anything on top of that is a bonus!).

thats a beast alright

Post by **McLeod** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 5:11 pm

Should we have a new section in the group builds part of the forum for this, or just post progress stuff in here ?

Post by **Tiger131** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 5:46 pm

i would go with a new section but i would be just as happy to carry on posting on here

Post by **Coen** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 5:59 pm

I think that Lee has something that he will set up. Group builds are Jim's thing, but he's away.

Post by **McLeod** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 6:04 pm

cool, I should hopefully get mine started tomorrow once I've sorted out my place and set up my mini man cave lol

Post by **Tiger131** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 6:08 pm

cool look forward to posting

Post by **Lee** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 7:40 pm

You guys now have your own forum

That GB is a great idea, if I have time I'll build one of my WOT tanks!

The More the Merrier!

Post by **Tiger131** » Sat Aug 03, 2013 12:48 pm

come one come all its a tank fest

Website · Post by **Gav0909** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 3:59 pm

I totally want to join in with this, but I have 2 major issues.

1) I am poor lol
2) I have a PhD to finish by the end of September so really I can't be doing anymore modelling than what I have.

If I have some cash by the time I have handed this thesis in, then I will see if I can't get something done in the last month.

I have my eye on doing an ISU-152....

Post by **Coen** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 4:06 pm

Good choice Gav those are fun to build.

Post by **spruecutter** » Mon Aug 05, 2013 5:20 pm

I'd like to join in with this, but I don't play the game. I've looked up some images from the web, and I've picked one out that would go nicely on a 1/25 SU100 I picked up recently. Having checked the guidelines, it doesn't say that you have to do your own tank from the game, but I just wanted to check if there are any objections to me using someone elses? I think its a tank skin that I've selected, and so should be in the public domain.

What do you think?

Thanks, I'll add a post to the build section with a pic.

I would like to have a go at the game but my PC is too slow

Cheers

It's good to go Dude, as they said, make sure you post the screen shots of the vehicle that you're going to build along with the kit that you're going to use to mimic it.

Website · Post by **Gav0909** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 12:13 pm

Does anyone have a Jagdtiger in WoT? I am only around tier 4 at the moment, but quite want to model a Jadgtiger for this group build (if I get the time/money) but I haven't gotten far enough in the game to be able to see what camo schemes are available for it?

If anyone has this tank and could post some pics with the various schemes available for it in the game that would be great!

Post by **Coen** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 12:20 pm

I might be able to help out there Gav. I don't have one in my normal garage. But I'm still a beta testor so I have access to the test bed version of the game where I have unlimited gold and xp money. If they have a beta running then I can access it and get shots of any vehicle in any configuration in the game.

Post by **McLeod** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 12:43 pm

There is no test server up at the moment, 8.8 test will be up some point in the next month or so but they haven't set a date yet.

One thing you can do is look on youtube for Jagdtiger videos and get shots there or even better go here http://wotreplays.com/ - its an official replay hosting site by Wargaming, just log in with your WoT log in and download Jagdtiger replays that you can watch anytime, because they are replays you can pause them and also the guys who uploaded them normally have different camo's on them.

You could also check any german tank in your garage to look at the camo as the patterns are the same for every tank of each nation.

hope this helps.

Post by **Coen** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 1:01 pm

There ya go. Even easier

Website · Post by **Gav0909** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 1:52 pm

Ah ok the camo's are just the same for any German vehicle? In that case I will just check whats there on my Pz38 I have just now.

For some reason I seem to have been given premium account access for 3 days on Friday there, I haven't bought it myself, not sure if its part of the anniversary perks or something? Anyone else get that? If not perhaps I need to check its not some kind of hack on my account.

https://www.youtube.com/user/bnealuk · Post by **T3hGuppy** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 2:28 pm

Yeah I had that too looks like it must have been a special thing

Website · Post by **Gav0909** » Mon Aug 12, 2013 2:45 pm

That's ok then, so long as its not some hack on my account lol. Not that I have ever registered payment details there anyway as I don't pay actual money for my WoT, I am not that into it! Haha

Hmm so if I get the cash together, Tamiya 1/48 Jagdtiger might be the tank I am going for....
