Today I thought it was nice to show you all another sneak preview of my Little Project... Oh heck I going to throw it all out.
This is my concept sketch:

Yup this is my concept for Incoming. A before and after situation. In the first dio you see the gun being recovered from the ground the second shows the gun being repaired and restored in a museum display. In both of the dio`s will come some figures.
I started with the PAK 35 that is standing in the first dio and did some scratchbuilding. A lot of evergreen, Putty, aluminum foil glue and more putty after this is the result. The pics are all a bit dark but due to the time and the light circumstances at the moment of the Photoshoot wasn`t optimal in my room


Above the damaging on one of the legs of the gun is visible that it received in the explosion that disabled the gun and it`s crew.

Above the rotten rubber tires of the PAK I have gotten several replies about it that Rubber doesn`t start to rot fast and after looking through my links about recovered vehicles I indeed saw that usually the wheels were looking quite good with only bad point that they were flat. So I kept one damaged PAK wheel (the one most far from the vehicle) as being damaged during the explosion and added a new Flat tire wich I still had in my scrapbox

Because the gunshield is damaged by direct fire or shrapnell the inside shows signs of those too. On the inside is a little box just above the gun of wich I have no clue for wich it is but I scratchbuilt it out of Aluminum foil showing the damage.


What I have done so far since this set of pics..... I have added some detail on the Bend/Damaged leg. and I`m now working on adding some fine rust structure on the gun.......... and then up to the groundworks

Feedback?? I like to hear everything.

That is a pretty cool idea there Rob , not the same old put it together and put it on a base that I have been doing here lately I really like it .

What a neat concept. I love the way your mind works. You come up with some very unusual ideas for dio's. Hey, don;t stop.

Interesting idea. So you will need to spin the dio around to see before and after.

Thanks for the replies.

Still not being an Modern Modeler I can look to what you do and make for a while. You make very nice M1`s. Everybody has his quality. And I have not a clue in what camo I should do a M1

Thanks for the Compliment.... And have you sorted my mind out??? Do you understand it?? You should be a winner then as I don`t understand my mind at all :-) :-)

Not exactly. The sketch you see is done two weeks before the Campaign actually started. A few weeks later I got another really funny idea. The 2 dio`s you see in the Sketch are just part of a serie of 8. All the 8 dio`s will get a 8 side groundplate with their own name and the complete Serie will have the heavy name: "The Cycle of Life" and the dio`s will be called: "Birth", "Youth", "Adult", "Death", "Burial", "Rebirth", "Reïncarnation and "Ressurection"

finally the project is open to public, you did very good work with this one. The teared metal effect on the leg and the wheels are incredible good. I wish to see this one finished .
I mean the whole project from birth to death..
c ya brother

hey, looks like its easier to make them than break them! so its going to be a big dio, or lots of different ones?

Don`t worry mate just as all my other projects this will be one with regular updates and such... You will not miss a single mm of this project.

This is very true. Things like scratchbuilding the Barrel and making the damages on the leg were quite hard to do on the other hand it is more satisfying when you get tothe point all; that is finished. Further it wasn`t that hard



Actually the whole serie will consist of 8 different diorama`s all with the same size of the 8 sided groundplates and they will tell the story of a PAK 35 from the moment he is on the Assembly line till the point it is in the museum display

faust,
looks like a nice idea justremember that after a few years ect the rubber on the tyre will start to crack on the side walls if you go to a scrap yard you can see the effects quite easy also I see this a bit when I get old wheels ect for my lambretta which still has the tyre on it I can post a pic if you like showing this effect

I cannot comment a single negative thing on your concept! Everything is laid down in detail. Can't wait to see it done!

Didn`t expect to see this one entering the latest posts for the second time.

I`d love to see those pics you simply can`t have too much reference. Thanks for the advice.

I will be taking a lot of pics this built again so I don`t think you will miss it when finished. When all the business around school is getting a little less then I start the big building again.

Guys thanks for the replies
