discussion The Big One

[Guest]

While sorting the loft stash out today in readiness of it being moved to the new workplace I decided to group this little lot together for a small diorama. This will have to be spread over a few odd months.

I will need to get some more track pieces for it at a later date.

Advice and comments most welcome.

Advice? Buy loads of grey paint!

Seriously that is going to be one big mother of a diorama and I will be following this one for sure.

Even at 1/72 this is going to be huge. Really looking forward to seeing this come together, will it be finished for this coming weekend?

 

[Guest]

LOL Well I have to fit in a phantom build and a Harbin H-5 bomber by then as well.

like it!!!

oh and what are hobbyboss models like never used that brand

 

[Guest]

This looks interesting - The Hobbyboss smaller scale stuff I've built has great detail and mediocre to fair fit so should be looking really good when you work your magic on it!

I agree with you Stuart. The larger kits I have come across are rescaled Trumpeter or Dragon kits.

 

[Guest]

Last year I bought 4 1:48 scale T 34s and was told they were scaled down Trumpeter 1:16 scale or something like that?

Some more work tonight,most of it has been dry fitting. Most of the parts I have used tonight will need the pin marks filled and sanded down. Laid the track out to get a idea how big this lot will be..... BIG.

All comments most welcome.

Cheers.

While waiting for the PE for the Br52 loco I have cracked on with the Munitionsschlepper PZ.KPFW.IV AUSF. D/E. Not much to this one and has gone together really well so far.

Paint has been ordered from John today.

All comments most welcome.

 

[Guest]
