Hi Rafal,

Nice work, look forward to developments. I'd like to do one of these with wading stacks. Good to see more Polish Vehicles being built.

Looks great so far, Rafal. I have one of those in the stash, unfortunately I only got one RB models barrel... What are you using for reference?

Cheers!
Stefan

Hi, these photos - just them, but always some reference

More to go...:

Terrific work Rafal. I like bits and pieces you'vegathered for you dio. If you're interested there are a few builds of the Miniart ruined church in the Miniart Campaign thread

I have one of these in my stash, but have the Verlinden turret and AA road wheels. What PE sets are you using; you might just inspire me to pul it out of the stack as soon as I finish off a couple of projects. I will definately be watvhing ths one.

Pat., great work !

Nice looking scene RJ. Very cool. How did you get that scratchbuilt roof to stay in place?

Thanks James.
CA glue, balsa wood - after adding the tiles will be finally destroyed, the fence too.

cheers.

Next steps.
Another correction stowage box, exchanging machine gun barrels, debris differentiation

Church looks great Rafal. Keep up the good work.

Very nice indeed Rafal!

I'm not familiar with Polish Crusaders, were they originally fitted with wading trunks? if the were will you be ftting the bracket to the rear air outlets that was there to support he trunks?

Very nice so far Rafal. Good work on the base .... that church building gets more and more appealing every time I see it!

very nice work rafal, really like the pile of rubble/debris and the flattened tire details. the painting of the church is wonderful and the tank looks like a pro build from here. i look forward to seeing the finished scene as this is shaping up to be a topnotch piece. cheers, mh.

Rafal,

Might be too late now but there are 3 bolts that go on the rear air cleaners, the things with the hoses entering the hull...2 on the rear side top and 1 at the top point, the front facing.

Or you can just ignore me and it still looks great! Nice dio!

I have an Italeri Crusader Mark III about 80 % done with a few updated details.....

Regards, Paul

Paul thanks !
