discussion 1/72 S Models Renault UE and PaK 36

[Tim Marlow]

Hi all
Here are my completed PaK 36 Renault UE conversions. They were fun to build, and I hope they are a fitting tribute. Simon was a skilled modeller and a nice guy. He will be sorely missed.

Hi Tim
That has come out really well. The figures are great and your approach to painting 1/72 figures is worth remembering. Simon would certainly have approved.

Outstanding Tim. They are just so sublime. A real credit to Simon's GB. Well done sir!

Many thanks Andrew. Hope I’ve helped because that it also in the spirit of Simon. If you need more tips just shout.

Many thanks Neil. It was fun making two different versions of the same vehicle, one OOB and one with a little modification.

Very cool, they came out really well. I must say I prefer the one with the gun actually mounted, as I think it looks better — but the other one is cooler from a kludged-together perspective

Tim,
Excellent mate, Simon would be well happy with that.

Thanks Jakko. I must admit to preferring the early one with the wood supports, but I can see why they modified them. I bet the driver preferred the later one though....he could get out in a hurry!

Thanks Scottie, I hope so.

This has been a terrific build to follow Tim, with loads of great modelling information and painting advice. The results are superb.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Many thanks Peter. Really glad you liked it.

Tim fantastic builds, both good , but for me the wooden gun support is top notch, love the timber work oh and the flowers around the base are perfect. Yes Simon would have loved it .

Thanks John. Glad you like them. I’m happier with the frame support after I used some pigments on it to tone down the colours.....I like a few flowers on the base, brings it to life and counterpoints the dull colours of the vehicle.

Your wargaming tables must look great if these little gems are anything to go by.
