discussion Trumpeter 1/35 Waffenträger 88mm PAK 43

[Guest]

Calling this one done. I could mess about more with it but that would be heading towards messing it up. Great kit, fun to build as was the simple MiniArt building for a base.


It really feels good to get something moving off the bench and into the cabinet at last. Hope you like it.

That is spot on Graham, the assault gun looks the business and that house is very well painted, if you don't mind a suggestion.... add some rubble around the street this will complete the picture, great work.

Thanks Scott. I probably will when I have something suitable. Don't really have much diorama stuff laying around as I don't do them lol. This is something I will address. For now, it is one of my 'Scenic Bases'

Well presented Graham. I will give one of those buildings from Mini Art a go myself. Excellent work

 

[Guest]

Thanks Alan. MiniArt buildings a very much a 'Marmite' thing. They certainly don't build themselves but if you put the work in, you can get decent results. Before doing one I would advise going to the MiniArt site where they have some great tutorials on building them.

That looks very nice Graham. A quality job all round, although I'd agree with Scott regarding the rubble etc in the street.


I've hacked bits from a brick & slivers from a wooden stirrer as a cheap alternative to buying diorama materials.

Cheers Patrick. I will add some detritus later but I am not artistic, if I put bits of stick and cork on it, it would look like sticks and cork lol But yes, I do know it needs something else.

Nice work Graham, I'm not an armour builder but that looks very good to me and I also like the base/ house it's there but doesn't take your eye away from the subject. Top work.

That is a great build Graham


The gun and ruin are painted very good and they go together well.


Mini art kits are not easy to put together in opinion but you have done a great job on this one.


Like it all great build

Looks really good, Graham - a slightly off-the-beaten-track subject and really nicely presented.

 

[Guest]

Thanks Stuart and Doug. It is too 'clean' but that can be rectified when I have the materials and skills.

 

[colin m]

Well that looks spot on to a flyboy like me......

 

[Guest]

I love it Graham.


Great modelling skill's to produce something so simple yet effective.


Your paintwork on both the Waff and the building are top notch for me.


Keep up the good work. .


I hope Robert realizes I was joking about the colour of street lamps

 

[Guest]

Thanks Ralph but you are right, they were green lol

It looks good to me, I think the degree of weathering is a personal choice. It is also nice to see a less common subject.

Too true. However, in this case heavy weathering would not be appropriate as the were only 'in action' for a few weeks before Berlin fell so very dusty, yes. Rusty and muddy, probably not.

Very nice Graham don't know much about armour but it looks spot on to me
