Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom

[rolling-thunder]

hi all

I have just found this thread. I'm astounded at the level of skill & dedication shown, not to ignore all the hard graft. Do you intend on being very selective with shrubs so you can have small Trees?

you are so kind for your comments mate. And yes, we want to be selective! periodically we clean the ground of weeds that do not serve as plants to our scale, and left spread the ones that we think are ok. We also have already several scale 'threes'

best regards

You all to be commended. I hope you get to finish {if you will ever be finished?} & have fun with your Tanks.
Stay safe. RT

hi guys

yesterday we did some more work on the riverbed. As we realised some days ago, the riverbed needed to be raised a bit, so this we did, and also we did the stone bridge fixed pillars... in this point the river will be quite a bit deep, bear in mind the the highest water level will be 1 to 2 cm below the bridge lower point...

installing the pillars and also making the river port









rising the river banks quite a bit





after 'weathering' the concrete











'finetuning' the bridge's pillars





the bridge on its pillars



here you can see how it is still far for completed, we have yet to finish the bridge 'sockets' on both ends, it must fit like a glove there... and then we will have to build up the road on both ends, at the same level for about 2m at each side, then we will make the road to descend to ground level...



thanks for watching chaps!

best regards

Good job!

hello chaps

a new addition to the Panzodrom Scenery... the entrance of a warehouse on the river harbour. It's not finished yet, we have to make and install some working lamps and to paint the inner part of the roof

this will be installed next to the bridge, so the arc's stones are very similar to the ones used in the bridge.

is't so simple, as usual in our buildings, the base and the parts that will be in contact with the terrain and the 'fixed' building of the warehouse (made with concrete blocks) are made from parquet plates, and the 4 walls are made with extruded polystyrene, the roof and the ground tiles are made from foamy sheets

making the arcs and the stones, the cutter was used to do some modifications to the work done with the solder iron :











while painting the stone arcs:







second pass of white paint on the walls to cover the excess from paint the stones of the arcs



covering and filling the cracks and joints of the different walls with milliput





marking and cutting the ground tiles, with an iron solder



painting the ground and first weathering on the white walls









also made some weathering on the roof tiles





and the final weathering on the walls, with oils, to get an aged and dirty look:







tomorrow i will paint the inner part of the roof and glue all the parts together, if i can i will made some pictures with natural light.

best regards!

Great thread this.

A water feature - especially as well done as yours is always a massive plus.
Super buildings too.

Can't wait to see more progress.

it's only one thing left to do to this piece, install some working lamps, one hanging from the porch's roof and one between the arcs, i've to source them yet... any advice?



best regards

Looks like a film set, not a model!
