Group Build Wheeled Vehicles in Military Use Tamiya 1/48 Kfz.69 FINAL with Bolt Action addition

‪@joramamodellbau3987‬ ‪@SCALEBENCHplasticmodels‬
Hey, hey, hey everyone.
First video of 2024, so a Happy New Year to all of you out there in KZbin land and beyond!
This is the final reveal of the Tamiya 1/48 Kfz.69 Krupp Protze for the group build. As a bit of an addition, I've included the Panzer Lehr unit that will be using this vehicle as their ride on the tabletop. It's a 6 man unit with 4 Panzerfausts, 4 SMGs and 6 pairs of brass balls. lol.
Thanks to Joachim and Markus for their hard work toward the Group Build again this time around. Be sure to check out their channels with the links here.
Keep those brushes moving!

At first, I thought the camo looked too out there for me, but the pics sold me. I wish I could sleep 20-22 hours a day if I'm being honest.

I swear I thought I had diabetes for awhile I was so zoned out. I'm feeling a lot better now. Watching a lot of hockey helped.

[@jostscalemodelling]

WOW - very cool Protze with great painting! The foliage camouflage is a very good eye-catcher - great detail. Great job all around!

[@jvcpaints]

Thank you very much!

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Superb build on the smaller scale Jason. A great addition to the GB. Lovely to see my friend

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks very much. I hope to use it in a game soon.

[@philRminiatures]

Looks great, without a doubt! Excellent work, love the vegetation...

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Phil! I appreciate it.

[@unclesheckiepainting6572]

Looks Sweet! Nicely done

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Kev. I'm working on the Panzer Lehr army slowly here. I got another squad done and I'm going to prime their ride today...maybe. Sh!t has just been too crazy here lately.

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

Great update, James! Love what you're planning on using these for. They'll certainly be able to hold whatever position they're in.

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Josh. Well, that's the plan...the plans tend not to work, but they always seem good on paper. lol

[@PanzermansBunker]

Great job on the Krupp Protze. I like the addition of tree branches as camouflage. The accompanied squad of Grenadiers. Keep having fun. Bill

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Bill. Some solid advice about keeping it fun.

[@SCALEBENCHplasticmodels]

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks for inviting me in again. I'm enjoying the yearly build.

[@smoothbrush4722]

Lovely models painted. Happy new year James.

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Lucian. I hope you are enjoying all that fresh fruit in that sunny climate down there.

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

Happy New Year James. Nicely done. 👏👏👏

[@jvcpaints]

Thank you very much!

[@Wielands_Schmiede]

Very good Protze and veterans James.

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Christoph. It was a fun little project.

[@jmaccsarmiesofArda]

Stunning as always man. Great wee addition to the army

[@jvcpaints]

Cheers and salute, Space Commander John!

[@ThatMofoDamon]

Great job done on this softc skin James, nice to see that you also found a use for it on the tabletop as well! Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend!

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, George. I gotta catch up on your videos here really soon.

[@markfrommontana]

That's a great looking vehicle James. I loved the squad too... I just started painting some Wargames Atlantic figures (with my son over the holidays). Glad you had a nice relaxing holiday. All the best.

[@jvcpaints]

Thank you, Mark. I'm still kind of on the fence with the Wargames Atlantic stuff. Some bits look amazing, and other bits look way out of scale. But, I'll finish the box and the army here pretty soon.

[@gavinbooth]

Very nice James . Regards Gav.

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Gav. Looking forward to your Stummel.

[@joramamodellbau3987]

Hi James. I wish you all the best and a happy new Year. Directly started with a great work. Outstanding result with the Krupp Protze. The figures round the set suitable up! Cool work, which will make a good impression on the table. 👍 Please think of, to sent Markus or my some photos (5-10 JPG) of your work, so that we can add them into the later end compilation. Have a good weekend, James. Greetings, Joachim

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Joachim. I'll be sending the photos soon. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's projects.

[@62seano]

Cracking job James, camo looks brilliant mate

[@jvcpaints]

Thanks, Sean. The camo became a bit dehydrated now and looks truly odd. lol

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Very cool james

[@jvcpaints]

Cheers, Justin. Thanks!

[@BrushQuill]

This is looking great buddy. Assuming NHL? Not sure who has the worst time difference, you or me!

[@jvcpaints]

NHL all the way. The games come on at around 9 am, so if I can look busy enough at work, I'll have a game on. Sunday mornings are great now. I get up and paint watching for a good 4 hours and then go about the rest of the day. But, I have watched the Russian league on KZbin when I'm really jonesing at like 7 pm. lol. Do you have a favorite team?

[@BrushQuill]

@jvcpaints Im a Flyers fans though I dont get to watch as much as I want. I more play lol through my Sledge Hockey.

[@rangerminiaturesandgaming3647]

Part of me wishes I would have started out collecting 1/48 instead of 1/56 vehicles

[@jvcpaints]

The 1/48 kits are cheap for me. The Rubicon stuff is sort of cheap here. The resin stuff is ridiculous expensive. I got a 3D printer now, so I'm hoping to get some way out there vehicles in the collection. Looking forward to your Romans man!
