Thanks, offer much appreciated, but sort of decided to go instead of a couple of hours before the Budapest photo, to go a few minutes. I seem to be better at damaged buildings than habitable ones. Have a machine gun crew that I'm going to use.
Andy

no worries.

The size of this beast is coming into focus very clearly for me now. Excellent use and abuse work on this, Andy, and the camo work, too. This does look like a fun kit.

It's silly big. It's longer than a Tiger with barrel forward. It's great kit, was slightly disappointed that no ally barrel, but the molding is so good that a thin bead of extra thin sorted it.
It really has have an enjoyable fun build because everything fits perfectly.

Just for comparison showing Tiger along side the Vomag. The Tiger was a few builds back so not very good.

The size of a school bus, or close to it, wow.

Of course you have the school buses, we don't have them, just use normal service buses for the school run... At a rough guess would think 30 to 40 capacity. Don't know what a school bus holds.

I seem to have a building taking shape, or at least the rough start. It's based very loosely on the Budapest photo.

 

[andy55]

Well seem to have a building ready for painting. Hey, said I was better at ruined building than habitable. Didn't say I was any good at either, lol. As I said it's based loosely on the Budapest photo, though hadn't realised till I finished just how loosely.

 

[Steve Ski]

That'll work, taking shape nicely.

Thanks, have an idea which I'm hoping will work for the windows.

Sunny last stand by the Vomag in Budapest.



If anyone wants to build this kit, would highly recommend it.
Would love to see what the super detailers on here would do with it.

Forgot this guy, hiding round the back.

I just noticed there seems to be a figure off on the right, who looks like he’s tripping over his own feet …

Ah, yes well, him and the guy laid on the rear deck are, hummm, the remains of the gun crew... the bodies are from other kits so had to find suitable places for their demise.

Layout is looking good, Andy!

Thanks Steve, have got the build on the shelf in front of me and the photos look a heck of a lot better than the building really does...
