discussion Weltkrieg 11 deutsche Werkstatt

[Guest]

Thanks Bob for your kind words. The top floor is almost complete I will then move down to ground level to start the working area. This is the biggest project I have tackled to date I intended to be a long in depth build to slow my build rate down if that makes sense.

 

[Guest]

well here are the figures almost completed for the upper level sorry the pics are not of a better quality but my camera does not want to play the way it used to. The shading is actually better to look at through the naked eye rather than the lens.

real well done so far with this lot,Terry,figures are never easy and take so much time,your are looking great,well done


on the faces as well,the hardest part

 

[Guest]

Thanks Moni I am actually enjoying doing these guys just as well really as I have more to do for the ground level of this build.

 

[Pikeman]

Those figures look amazing real life like and where you put them in the room before they were done looked like natural positions.


this will definitely  bring this room and dio to life,fantastic Job Terry


wish I could get figures to look like that

Thanks for your kind words Stuart I think the majority of us struggle with figures and I am certainly no acception.  These ones have taken me a week to paint. and I am still not totally happy with them but as they are going to be under cover they will do. (I think).

I think they are great Terry I would be more than happy to get results like that

Today I finished the figures and stuck some of them in position. I am hoping to stick the roof section to the bottom part which should be fun. I am also going to take a look at my camera to see if I can get it working properly but before any of that SWMBO has quite a few jobs for me to do.

Thanks Moni this floor is all but done I just need to add the winch rail to the beams and then the fun will start sticking the top of the barn to the bottom. I hope to have this done in the next couple of days. Then the ground level work starts fitting out the workshop area.

 

[Guest]

For this update I have stuck the top to the bottom this was done after a bit of a faff with the winch rail. I am now starting on the ground level of the whole scene. This will include what I am going put on the trailer of the Famo. I have a few options some I have seen modeled before and one I haven't.


The one I haven't seen before is a Wirbelwind. I have a Dragon kit of this in the stash and there are a few unknown unit markings available according to the paint scheme chart. Having read a little about the Wirbelwind I understand they were used on the western and eastern fronts and also in small numbers due to availability in other areas of europe. So I am thinking of doing it as one of the unknown units.


If I do not go for this I could use a stug or panzer 111 both of which I have readily available. I also have the option of bringing a tiger to the table as I have a second Famo (without trailer) that is going to be on the dio as well. Which ever way I go I am going to have one of the above in the barn being worked on.


Should anyone have any other ideas I am open to suggestions.

Great work so far Terry, love how you did the figures, especially the faces, they are very difficult to get right. 


The setting looks very realistic now. 


With suggestions, you have quite a few options, my advice would be to go with your gutt! Its your dio, whichever one you feel you like go ahead and do, dont let historical accuracies get in the way of such a fantastic build mate. 

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the very kind words Paul I don't think I am talented there are far better modellers on here than what I put out.

 

[Guest]

Thanks for your kind words Bob they are very much appreciated and I am glad you like it so far. Thanks also for the input on what I should do with my options I think you are right it shouldn't matter about historical accuracy.  

 

[Pikeman]

Fantastic job Terry the whole thing is amazing 

 

[Guest]

Thanks Stewart much appreciated.

 

[Guest]

I have made a start on the P111 the first area that got some attention was right side escape hatch. As these are not open on this model I cut the hole to out so as to have the hatch open. I then started putting the axels in place.


I have also started the engine bay removing casting blocks and sanding off any unwanted stubs. Tonight's job will be to paint the engine compartment and start adding bits to the upper half of the tank.
