Update 25.02.2014 small one

well I did some small stuff today some jerry cans from Academy and Tamiya for the stug and put on some bolts and I made a wire ring. on the jerry cans I put a 0,3mm copper wire thru the middle to represent the welding were the two parts joint together, I know there are PE parts for this but this works to.

here are the pictures,

I like the looks of the copper wire because it looks (at least I think) more realistic than those PE parts. why? well I think its simulates the dents that would appear on the welding after a couple of encounters with other jerry cans pretty good I think ops:

here I used 0,4mm dark wire and 0,3mm copper wire wrapped around a 16mm tube.

nice Richi, the wire aces a seam to them and looks good nice tip thank you, and as always i think some think hand made looks better if you copy it with some think real,

Hi folks,

all is well on this side of the pond. Thanks for asking.

and of course thanks for all the complements.

Did a little on the Market garden Diorama, started to fit on the roof and made the holes for the windows extension positioned on the roof.
