You do such cool build blogs. A lot of things I would probably have overlooked and then been less than pleased about later and you got them all mapped out. Cool stuff Saul. Watching this with great interest.

Re: Sharkmouth's Krupp Steyr Waffenträger

Wow, I did a lot of actual research on this and compared the design style of Steyr to what is in the kit (basically a copy of the New Connection Models kit with all the errors). I have begun the process of building a better Waffle-tray.

While I don't want to get as carried away as Kunihito does, I do think I'm Turning Japanese!

Posts with pictures coming as I get some stuff polished...

Greetings,Ron.

A kimono and nothing else? I have more Love and Pride than that!

By the way, thank Laura for introducing me to the idea of posting the music I listen to while modeling, or pertinent to what I am modeling. Yes, I am stuck in the 1980s and don't regret it.

Photos to show preparations PRIOR to step one in the instructions should anyone want to build a better Waffle Tray...

Re: Sharkmouth's Krupp Steyr Waffenträger

It's amazing to see that you are always correcting the kitparts.
All that research and then the work involved to get it done right....don't know if I would go so far,or it has to be some really easy to do things.

I take my hat of to you sir Saúl. :drinks

Love and pride....that's a long long time ago!


Saludos,ReconocimientoRonaldo.

Fantastic stuff Saul. The music is a bit terrifying, but the modeling is awesome.

Good stuff Saul, well, most of it...You and I had very different 80s,

 

[Sharkmouth]

Re: Sharkmouth's Krupp Steyr Waffenträger

You and I had very different 80s,

Nah, the rest of the 1980s are there... just need the right moment to pop in the music!

James, there were far more frightening 'artists' such as 'Dead or Alive' or 'Culture Club' but I was very secure about myself when my brother pointed out that much of what I listened was performed by artists that would prefer me to Marylin Monroe!


Funny thing is that Paul King, the artist above, intentionally acted that way as it was the 'in' thing but had a crush on Jessica Lange after seeing her in King Kong (got married too and is still involved with both MTV and VH1).

Re: Sharkmouth's Krupp Steyr Waffenträger

paul king! :woohoo:

great stuff - i had so completely forgotten about him! unfortunately this video isn't available in germany (copyright regulations - removed upon request by sony ... thank you!)

your corrections done to the model are sheer madness (in a positive way!)

Re: Sharkmouth's Krupp Steyr Waffenträger

Great work Saul! i couldn't see the video either (Belgium) must be big brother that make sure we don't watch that stuff again )
I was into the Heavy metal in the 80's, with AC/DC , Iron maiden and Twisted sisters, Wasp Etc.

I used to go to many concerts and clubs and even met Twisted Sister without their makeup. You didn't mention Quiet Riot:

These cutouts are based on measurements of the surviving part of the lower hull tub. I'll endeavor to point out what is factual and what will be conjecture.

Re: Sharkmouth's Krupp Steyr Waffenträger

If building this kit, at step 9, you are directed to glue the gun trunnions, parts C14 & C15:

Don't! Instead, remove the overhead ledge and end up with a turret looking like this:

Having glued the items, I then removed them and thinned the top edges of the turret walls:

By the way, I am using Krupp drawings for the turret which I am not allowed to publish, but they are better than the guesswork used in New Connections Models kit (which Trumpeter faithfully copied).

Thanks Chukw! My wife is allowing me some bench time as I am doing the cooking (plus she is off tomorrow but not I).
