    Italeri schwimmwagen in 1/35

    Just started this to go on the dio, first impressions, certainly not a Tamiya in fit or quality (first part off the sprue will need filling where there's a hole left from an air bubble in the plastic) and there's going to be a lot of guessing as to where some parts should be fitted.

    Daylight arrives and shows up one or two bits needing attention:angry: but not too bad, considering that I was getting in my own light half the time I was working on it (won't fit on the bench) roadway is now wider - luckily I'd had to mask off the edge, so just removed the mask - slope is now...

    The sprue shots of the schwimmwagen - looks a fairly simple build (but fully realise that it can all go South!) Some more colour 'playing' and it seems that I've sort of got it 'right', can hardly see the join

    Slow going, getting the walls done, talus at the bottoms of the rockfaces and the groundwork. Stone cladding going on (at the moment, looking like a bad set of dentures! :tongue-out3: :smiling5: :thinking: ) Talus appearing Groundwork

    Deep snow?

    Still planning and trying to figure out a dio which is going to need deep snow (about the equivalent of 2 feet) and not sure how to get that sort of effect, so now asking the experts.

    Yes, at the moment got so that I'm 'building the landscape' to fit the vehicles/figures (lorry position has changed about 4 times so far from the original placement - think that this one will be the final position!) Sure - I'll try and get one tomorrow in daylight, though not 'finalized' the...

    And just to check a couple of bits (some slight adjustment needed)

    Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe

    Road just needs to be changed from 'sandy' to 'local rocky' (slight colour change needed), the rest is starting to take shape. Lots of 'talus' to be painted and placed

    Oh well, think that I can call this end 'done' (just needs the 'pool' to have the water done/put in) and some low vegitation in the odd corner/crack.

    Impatient as ever, trimmed off the cling film, put the pool base in, replaced the water and took a flash photo - not looking too shabby, if I say so myself (now edited, taken out the flash picture, and replaced with a couple of daylight ones)

    Well, here's the results from the latest attempt, still sitting on the cling film - tried to lift it off, but it still needs to finish drying. Entry 'falls' Exit 'torrent'
