the last stand ia a dio-story of a sturmtiger in a uprising city in east Europe

WOW! The weathering on that tank is amazing! Do you have any 'making of' pictures? Fantastic work so far, the end product will be awesome.

Dimitris,

Both models are beautifully painted.
I fear just one thing, they are to similar painted.
Perhaps you can make the road (cobbles) lighter color otherwise it will be a very dark dio.

Cheers
Claude

thanks Dazzad
Claude i agree
I will try to make it more "luminous"thanks

Really nice build. What scale is it?
I"m looking forward to this one, this is one of my favorite AFV's.
The building is interesting too, the round window and the elevated door can lead to some great interest.

the interior of building

the pictures that gave me the inspiration
Scott thanks the scale is 1/35...
and the next step is

Hi Dimitris. Good job on both the Sturmtiger and the building. I agree with Claude about the colours being too similar on both. None-the-less ... they should look good when in place.
The MiniArt Ukranian building turned out well ... shall you not use the steps for the front door? You will also notice there a lot of small protuding dots on both the front and back surfaces. These must be something that are used in the thermoforming proces to hold the plastic, but they should be cut off before painting, as they get highlighted in the painting process ... and are very noticeable on your building.

Dimitris great work.

The painting is superb, as for claude's comment that all depends really on the figures, and the terrain. It's likely those might offset them somewhat.

That Miniart building turned out great, I have always been hesitant to use them incase they didn't look nice enough being plastic. This one however is a great example!

Keep up the outstanding work and I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Frank I have made a lot of mini art" s models and the only that have small protuding dots
is this
so i think that is not something like that are used in the thermoforming proces
but something else of the real building like nails
thanks for looking

Jon thanks

Weathering on the Sturm is top notch. Me Likey!

Stuart

Dimitris no problem! It's a pleasure to see such nice work!

Looking forward to an update

Hi there Got one of these on my bench now. Yours is looking great look forward to the final finished dio

Dimiris,

Great work!

You need to replace the jewelry chain with a scale chain that is more realistic. Model Expo has Chain .

Hi Dimitris. Its your call .... but they are part of the thermoforming process and are not scale nails.
On MiniArt´s own webpage they call them "Technological ledges" and it says "Cut the technological ledges of the details". I have made 3 MiniArt buildings, and they all had them.

Click on the link above, click on "assembly guide" on the left colum menu, and see the first 2 images/text on page 2.

Hi Frank
I put a red mark where existed the small protuding dots
the marks they is placed in regular distances around from the frame of door and
the coloumns


so i am not sure .other I do not insist

Hi Dimitris.
If you want to go with the nails .. do it ... its your model. I was just offering an opinion.
I have also built this Ukranian house many years ago, but I cleaned these all off.
Theres a review online here on Armorama. I also have built images, but Im at work now so can´t post them. Do you have any images of the inside of the building?

Οκ Frank thanks for all










First i will do some corrections and i will afterwards place the figures

This looks really good.
Will you fill the gaps between the house and the side walls?

Claude

Doesn't need to if he wants to leave it like that.

I've seen plenty of actual building where the next building butts up against it but is not actually fixed to it, showing a small gap. Indeed if the buildings have two different owners then you are not allowed to simply "attach" your building to the neighbouring structure in any way.

Alan

Thanks Claude
thanks Alan finaly ..i Will fill the gaps between the walls

Dimitris this is looking awesome!

I love what you did with the windows, nice to see a totally different colour in there now.

Also the German tank looks even better next to a building!

Will you be using figures also? You probably have covered this already?

Jon thanks
about the windows there is no colour but a a blue light
I placed a light bulb in the interior of building

i will use the figures.......................
