Hello guys

A new wounded soldier on the Marder and the base construction is completed.
The Marder situated on a pionier bridge. The bridge is under construction now. A another Idee is a broken Stuka on the side of a Vignette but the Stuka is 1/32 Scale but I can play with the Vignette Room and the dimension.
So long..







And now i am going back on the workbench
see you later,..

Regards

Florian

Excellent work! The weathering and paintwork sure is top notch!

I like the idea of the busted up wing or fuslage.

Great work. If you only include a section of the Stuka - the tail for example- then the difference in scale wouldn't be so noticeable.

Hi Florian,

Another great model you are presenting here! Again the paintjob is outstanding! The weathering comes across very naturally, just like it was the real thing!

Absolutely fanstastic work!

I am very curious about your idea with putting a crashed JU-87 along with your Marder on a diorama! I guess your scale is 1/35 and you are going to use a 1/32 sclae Stuka. You could put the crashed stuka in the front and the Marder in the back, this way the depth of the diorama would eliminate the differnce in the two scales you're using. Plus the two guys on the tank would function as onlookers of the crash scene!

Like I said, great model with wonderful details! And a great idea for a diorama! Keep us posted on the progress!

Cheers,
Heli

Hello Florian. Another excellent model. The camo on both the Marder and trousers are the highlights for me. Love these models. Cant wait to see the stuka included. Have often wanted to try a part of a downed aircraft in a dio.

Fantastic job on the Marder and the figures. A Stuka next to the Marder would be okay in my opinion even though it is in 1/32.

Looking forward to see more.

That is a great vignette. Any chance you could email me some close ups of the figures? What type of paint did you use on the figures?

Thanks!

Florian,

That look aboslutely outstanding , I really like the way you dirtied up the body and faded the camoflage, is the wounded figure scratch built? great work

Best wishes,

Jerry

Again some fine workmanship Florian.
Great figure painting also.
So is this the Italeri Marder?

Florian, great job! I'm stunned. I wish I could paint this way...
I love your idea to put a plane on the dio - maybe a disection will be good solution for you (only problem is that then diorama would lost one side - it would show the disection side of plane ).
Looking forward to see what you're going to do with it!
