Looks like a film set, not a model!

well, this is one of the targets we have in mind! shooting some decent videos from the soldier's eye perspective...

and again, thanks mate!

[rolling-thunder]

I agree with Silversurfer. Outstanding work.

[wibblywobbly]

I have never, ever, ceased to be amazed by the quality of this battlefield.

[Jussek]

guys! you will make build up my little ego! LOL

again, thanks for your kind words

oh! and btw... while waiting for some little ballbearings to finish my 'little' rework on the KöTi and Tiger... i'm not with crossed arms...

a little teaser for the next piece of the scenography

from this



to this





we are printing at the moment several dozens of these little things... 15cm Gr.19 Be FES (HE anti concrete) on the left and 15cm Gr.36 FES (HE) on the right

also the ammo boxes for three shells, the shells (149 mm × 260 R cased separate-loading ammunition), and several Sond.Kart.7u.8 (special charges 7 and . All these are at the moment empty, but they would be correspondingly filled...

not related to this scene but as a premium you can see three lauftschützer 43 for the MG42...

and finally... das Immergrün



you can see the bases of the crew, where they will be placed and glued in position

these things are so big that they will be stored in a protected box separated from the scene's bases, as they are built to be towed, they will be put in position after the placement of it's base .
the spades are also big, so i decided to make a hole on the base, so they will be buried on the ground once placed in the Panzodrom



the wicker mats for the wheels (i will make also the baskets for the ammo...)



and as the bases are now (drying and hardening)



the imprints of the wheels...



be warned, these two scenes are going to take time to be finished, because there are a lot of items to print, and to paint!

best regards

Sweet as mate..............we are happy to wait !!

If you don't mind a suggestion - perhaps weather the floor and the join between the floor and walls with a wash? They look new, but you have weeds and wall stains

hello mate

i do not mind, of course!

the true is that the floor is painted and a bit weathered but as it's made by "goma eva" (foamy) is does not tolerate too well the tratements... bear in mind that it's originally of the same colour than the roof!

it will be dirtied a little bit more once in place, with real dust

the stains on the walls are from old paint affected by the over time and the river's humidity

and now some more progress on the Immergrün

both pieces presented in place, with wheels and spades protected by plastic film



the wick mats have been put on the microwaves with water and carpenter's glue, and then pressed in place



in the end I did not like how the spades were buried to the bottom in the holes i did, so i glued a plastic sheet on the underside of the base and then filled the bottom with 'ground compound', I have also tried to simulate the earth excavated by the spades after each shot.





and after removing the spades



now they are drying and hardening

hi mate, so so so many thanks for your kind words!

well,

the bases are already dry and rock solid, i put them near the wood stove we have in our man's cave to accelerate the process



i have yet to finish the wick mats for the ammo



the ones under the wheels are already embedded on the ground





this is how the gun's spades look now once in place







I think that i've already too many work to paint all these ammo, for the moment i close the munitionfabrik



that's all for now, let's see if tomorrow i can work on the crews...

best regards chaps!
