I think it's the same concept Mark. -
WOW 👌!

Could it be the number of letters in English versus German and the models scale ? FIRE versus Feuerlöschgerät

Looking good Alan ! 👍

Just in time for our Independence Day picnics 😇😊😇

Thanks guys, I'm at my daughter's in Buffalo seeing a specialist, will update you when I get back home.

Vallejo is the brand I use also.

Alan, are you going to use acrylics or oils to paint these figures? If acrylics, you might want to invest in a wet palette. I use the Sta-Wet brand from Michaels about $18 with 5 sheets, 8.5"×7"×1. Refill packs are about $9 . I use mine extensively, very worthwhile accessory, it will keep paint wet overnight.

I agree with OC. The details look great on both figures. Glad your vices arrived [pun intended] 😊

Check out Hollowneck's HMS Sphinx discussion on making sea scape for his ship diorama starting at Post #400.

Nope ! Those the out of box Tamiya tracks, which unlike other kit model tracks don't disintegrate after 5-10 years.

For now I'm calling Walker tank #1 complete. I decided to hold off on weathering and/or camouflage until I decide on how I want to display it and the Walker tank #2 kit build is completed. But both will have to wait a while until after I deal with a medical issue that just cropped up unexpectedly. Note to Moderators: This build log is NOT FINISHED YET, only part 1 of 2 is finished. And there is a possibility of a diorama to be added to this build thread. The Walker tank model #1:

I think it's called Crayola Air Dry clay here. Check out a Michaels store if you can't find it in Walmart.

Alan, you can also use kids brand modeling clay to hold your figures while spraying them. I think it was Crayola brand.
-
Yes, it was Night Shift

I think the hand vise would work. It comes with a set of metal pins/rods to insert in holes to hold irregular shaped objects. I have that hand vise and another different style both work well for holding small things. Are these figures metal or resin? Watch the MicroMark demo video on that webpage

I'm a neophyte like you but will be happy to share what I've learned so far.

That's okay! There's no penalty for Senior Moments 😇

Would this Universal Clamp from MicroMark work ?
-
Looks like the tire gnomes snuck into your stash. 😒😠 But I do agree with Ken's solution.

In anticipation of possibly doing a diorama I did pick up two cliff rock face rubber molds by Woodland Scenics. Incredible detail in these molds.

It's under consideration! Big issue is where to display it. The ship models already take up all the display space. I have maybe 30 completed armor vehicles stored in plastic containers because I ran out of space.

Stopped by the Hobby Lobby store today; the model kit area had a sign "All boxed kits 40% off". So I browsed the shelves, mostly cars, way down on the lowest shelf were 5 Tamiya Walker Bulldog kits. Sale price after discount was $13.19. 😲 Picked up another kit, was very tempted to buy 2 but resisted the temptation. So Walker #1 will have a companion tank. 🤔
