discussion 88mm Flack gun and crew heading for a diorama

[Guest]

Just to prove I have not been a naughty boy and slacking in my model making here is my work so far on my Flack gun crew. I have put the model together and now getting ready to make the diorama still thinking about what to do for this one but will begin tomorrow.

This Tamiya kit is a great kit loved building it and your get a lot for the money with this one. The gun itself is really cool and very nicely detailed so should look pretty good when its in the diorama itself. Now got to get my thinking cap on and decide the setting for this one.

I have this in my stash of six, and it keeps staring at me......Now I've seen what a nice model it builds into, it could well end up at the top of the pile!

Very nice job.

its wierd seein all the faces on the side...but back to your build and you've done an outstanding job allround buddy will look even better when you get it into a dio..

 

[Guest]

Yes thank you chaps this really is a great model kit for the price and ideal for setting into a diorama. Got a new fridge freezer yesterday and I have loads of Styrofoam to use for my diorama just got to think of an idea..

 

[geegad]

i do think a dio that isnt just flat always looks more natural....look forward to seeing what you come up with

 

[Guest]

Yes that's a good suggestion flat is quite dull I was thinking maybe having it placed in some kind of bunker area or if not that then in a dug out trench on a hill still not sure.

 

[geegad]

earth bunker would be a good idea there were plenty of them in the war.and would be easier to do

 

[Guest]

Yes good idea was playing call of duty 3 last night and there was a part where I found myself in an earth bunker with a camo mesh over the top of the flak gun but then again the idea of pill box type bunker sort of appeals. Sort of like this mybe

 

[geegad]

it would have to be a beast though to hold a german 88 but either way buddy i look forward to seein your build
