Paul,
I'm impressed mate PE in this scale.

The star antenna is tough because it is so fragile. Waiting for it to cure before bending it.

 

[scottie3158]

A star antenna in 1/87 you must be mad Sir, they're a pain in 1/35. Hats off to you Paul.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks, paint & decals to follow. Then on to 2nd Beobach IV.

 

[minitnkr]

2nd Beobach started.

 

[PaulTRose]

You must have a lot of oatience to do that in that scale

Looking good

 

[Jim R]

How you manage at this scale is a tribute to your skill. A star antenna and PE schurzen is simply really icing the cake.

Changed my mind & put MkIII Beobachs w/Hummel battery elements so these two will go to the Wespe battery elements when completed. While I've been working the Beobachs I've also been working a MKIV medium tank platoon.

Super stuff, Paul!

 

[scottie3158]

....working...decided these would go to Wespe battery elements.

 

[scottie3158]

Very nice mate

 

[minitnkr]

Beobachs 212 & 214 in place w/Wespe battery elements. Chose Pzr IVs for improved survivability over Pzr IIIs.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

superb stuff, Paul

 

[scottie3158]

That is excellent mate.

 

[Stefee]

Unbelievable attention to detail and soooo big - I would need to remove furniture in my space to accommodate a scene so large.

 

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. Quality Wespe are hard to find in this scale so 233 & 236 are in for repairs & 234 is lost to counter battery fire. One of these in the photo is made of a WSW ammo carrier & Preiser 10.5cm howitzer.

Finally scored another ROCO/ArsenalM Hummel. Will build up & show w/other Hummel elements including two PzrIII Beobachs. Initial work was disassembly & acquisition of additional pcs. & decals to finish it off. Things to the right of the left side tracks are additional to the model as delivered.
