Hello again, small brief update 80% near completion of the hardest part of the dio, of course it had to be beer bottles lol 😁 Michael

Thanks Guys, Bob, I appreciate your words and inspiration. I have long been wanting to get back to the Takom King tiger diorama commenced a long time ago. here https://modelersalliance.org/threads/takom-tiger-2-repair-dio.152934/page-9 One of the stumbling blocks was the house was to have...

Thanks Mike there certainly is.🤬 😁 Now that the last Panzer 38T is completed I can show some little snippets of the fine little pieces of the kit. And there is a Miniart V170 which is primed in sub sections ready to go. More to Follow... Michael

Nice work Ian. Good choice of Sherman. The kit comes with some nice detail. The 50 cal detailing in plastic is exceptional.(y) Michael

Thanks Guys, Here are the kits back in the box ready for paint. A clear indication of how much detail in the Hobbyboss kit compared to the Tamiya kit. As for quality between the 2 Hobbyboss(Tristar)wins hands down. Ease of build , Tamiya is out front , close inspection between the 2 has made...

Thanks again for your words, Lol , thanks Barney, I may have to space the infantry further away from the horses.:poop: Michael 🍻

Thanks Ian, Michael

Thanks guys . Yes, watching Bob's work on his logistics dio is fantastic motivation to start building. The dio base is not going to be too elaborate with buildings more so to have the terrain work in with the vehicles and figures. Only have the second Hobbyboss 38T to finish and then it's on to...

Wow, I have'nt seen so many trucks together like that Bob. A lot of work, simply jaw dropping every time I take a look. Michael

Hello, Here is another project started early this year. Shared with the Italeri Schnellboot. The concept is the Invasion of Russia with the reliance of Horse drawn infantry and Anti Aircraft. The kits have been more or less built out of the box with as little detailing as possible with a...

Wow Bob, I had to go back and re-read this thread it's a lot of man hours including the photo shopping work because that is a challenge within itself and many hours learning foregrounds and backgrounds...ahh the joys of photoshop. Excellent work. Michael

Nice work Bob, Very tedious hand painting but that's looking pretty accurate. Michael 🍻

Thanks Piet and Ian. Piet, I thought that was me thinking the arms are too long. :eek: :bash: I'm looking at using the dudes with the life jackets on the Flak 42 1 behind the shield and the other holding the 37mm rounds. Still working on it , may have to have a few beers 🍻and think this one...

Thanks Piet, I don't have any materials on hand for casting but will more than likely move back to plastic figures to balance the gun crew out. Michael

Thanks Piet, Eric and James. Piet, I know what you mean, do I sacrifice the detail of a resin figure without a life jacket for a plastic figure from the Italeri crew. The detail is not as good with the plastic figure and may still go down the track of adding them. I don't want to be detailing...

Thank you again. Having the crew in action brings the deck alive and creates interest for the viewer to look further into the detail. (y) Michael

Wow, Very nice work Bob,huge achievement. 👏 👏 👏 Michael

Hello again, Back again with the next installment. The Flak 42 gun crew are now test fitted in place. The items are in sub assembly sections ready for paint. The Azimut figures have 3 heads converted with Hornet and Alpine head conversions. Not sure why Azimut gave the gun crew all the weird...

Thanks James. Michael
