Hello my name is Daniel

I am new here in the armorama forum.
Maybe someone know me from some german forums.
A little about me. Iīm 27 years old and come from germany.
Build models for 3 years now since my restart.
Favorite and only scale is 1:72 ground vehicles.


Here are some pictures of one of my latest models.
Itīs the Sd.Kfz. 251/7 Ausf. D from dragon. A very good model from dragon in high quality.
I made some extra parts from wire and sheet. Figures are from the set.
Phone mast and calbes are scratched too.
All is paintet with Tamiya acrylics.
The Dio is called: "Die kleine Pause" --> "The little break"!

Hope you like it.

Here are some pictures.



























This is my debut here.

And sorry for my bad english.

Greetings Daniel

Hello

welcome to the forum.

your diorama looks very pleasing to the eye. The ground really looks like damp earth, and the figures and halftrack are very nicely finished. The worn timber on the outside of the halftrack looks very realistic.

I only build 1/72nd scale ground vehicles also. I've only been posting here for about a year, and this is now the only place I choose to post my work. I hope you post more of your work here too

cheers
Neil

Welcome Daniel,

What an entrance! Super job! That Sd.Kfz 251/7 sure compliments your well detailed and painted figures. Looks like a few of the crew have just returned from an outing and are taking a break while the rest of the group arrives. Realistic ground work. Everything blends in so well. This easily could be right out of a black and white WWII photograph.

Very, very impressive work. Thank you for sharing and posting your work here. Excellent set of photographs that you've chosen for us to view. Hoping to see more of your work and that your stay here will last a while.

Please don't worry about your English, we all speak modeling here! I'm extremely honored that you are making an effort to communicate with all of us here from around the world through your work.

Hello

@Andrew youngman: Thank you for taking time and writing.

@Braille: Hi Eddy. Thank you for writing me. I am glad that you like what you see.

It is fine to get such reactions. Especially in an international forum. And

the forum has a lot to offer here a lot. Here are many high-class models.

I will certainly set a few models here. Have a nice day.

Hello Daniel.

Your work is exceptional. The environment is very well done, the figures nicely painted.

Have you used the hairspray method on the vehicle?

Stay well, P.A.

Hi Alexander

Thanks for read and write something! I'm happy you like it.

I used the mustard method for making the wintercamo.

Was my first time that i used. But itīs very easy and looks good.

Nice Sunday! Daniel

Hi alexander

Its a little bit hard to explain. I think itīs the same way with salt.

I have here a few pictures. I think with the pictures there you know what i mean.

If you have questions after you look at the them i will try to explain.


Here the pictures:















































Hope that helps....

Yes it is the mustard.
Let it 5-10 minutes on the model befor you overspray it!
30 minutes after overspraying you can remove the mustard with water...

Cheers!

Welcome to Armorama Daniel. Very nice scene. I love the figures ... kudos for anybody who does figures this well, and at this scale. The only negative I have is that the chipping/peeling of the white wash looks a bit overscale. A bit finer and this would have been a stunner.

hi

@madmax5510: Yes you remember good. Itīs the peopleschoice winner.
That was great for me to see that some people like what I have build there. But in first it is fun for me see wat happens at BSMC.

@Plasticbattle: Thank you for your comment. Iīm glad you like it. You have right with the chipping/peeling. Itīs not so fine i hope befor. It was hard to see befor what happens after you overspray all. I hope next time it will be better.

@milvehfan: Thanks for taking time to wath and writing a comment here.


Cheers


Daniel
