Here is the completed dio of the Ferdinand-Elefant. I finished off the rest of the tools and welding equipment and glued everything in place. Most of the tools came from the old Italeri workshop kit. The trowels on the workbench are scratch as is the welders mask on the superstructure roof. The double hoses that supply the gases were made from low amp wirering.















Now that this project is done, I can work on some other models that I had started.
Enjoy the pics and if you have questions or would like to see more pics just let me know.

Outstanding job!!
Not to nit-pick your work, You did forget to put in the striker for the welder. I guess a cig will do the same thing.
Small detail, no harm.
Again, Outstanding job!!

Just wish some of my stuff looked that good!!

Thanks Brian
I did intend on making a striker when I was working on the mask, I guess I forgot all about it, I will make one and add it to the roof next to the mask.Good thing you cought that,thanks.

Unusual and fantastic job my friend. I love the details, tools, chips, weathering, etc...

Congrats

Your work is just amazing! I like that you haven't add a figure sometimes they don't fit in a dio (I personally don't like any figures )

I'm working on my scratches and weathering technique and wanted to ask how you did your scratches they look very good. Sponge technique painted by hand? Thanks for the info.

I'm looking forward to see your next project!
