Outstanding craftsmanship! Keep up the fantastic work.

wow....simply awesome build.....

outstanding!
how much time do you need for one vehicle? it seems to me that a lot!

Many thanks for all comments
For this one it take six monts. The bigest trouble was finding reference to make the job right. I find many references on armored wagons but very rare on unarmored flak wagons. Currently I'm still working on signal tower and ssy flat bed carrying biber mini u-boat. It's really fun but moving slow. I will start positing images with write-up as soon as I finalize this one.

Fantastic scratch building, that wagon is superb, the detail you put into your work is simply fantastic, looking forward to seeing much much more, keep up the good work.

WOW , what can we say except for trying to keep our jaws closed when watching this magnificent piece of craftmanship! This is an incredible, book deserving build!
Thanks for sharing this with us!

Cheers, and congratulations on a superb job!

I agree. This is museum quality work. Simply excellent.

Simply spectacular work, however there seems to be one missing detail from the reference photos and that is the storage box and spare barrel racks attached to the outside edge of the gun compartment. Yes I know I sound like a bean counter. Again though spectacular work, you make it look so easy, I too have been wanting build the 88 Flak rail car, but I haven't been able to find the Dragon flat car and others like it are to expensive. I can't wait to see the end result of your labors.

Epic!!!

Hi Cem,

Outstanding builds and workmanship on the wagons, weapons and buildings. This is a real epic build and I love your attention to detail. The scratchbuilding work is 1st class.

Excellent progress.

Beautiful build. love it thus far. The scratch building is on a whole other level for sure and quite outstanding. One silly question though. The Flakvierling 38 had a crew of 3 I believe. I see only 2 beds in the car. Where did the 3rd guy sleep? Did they sleep in shifts?

Hello Dave,
Very good question dough. As far as I know The wagon crew is 4.
The reason they had 2 beds was to ensure other two always stay at watch wile rest are sleeping.

Its very clever and a "all time warm bed" solution for crew ))

I'm very fascinated by the amount and quality of scratch building I'm seeing here. Kudos!

But there's one thing that bothers me just a little bit: shouldn't be there some kind of metal plate under the oven in the car and the switch tower? You know, because of the heat and in case something falls out...

for beeing so talented!! (joke)

This is another dio that deserves a book. Seeing stuff like this just blows me away. Keep the updates coming.

There hasn't been an update for months and months...

Hello to all. This little storm trooper is answer, why I been away for long time? :


Will be back to my new desk and studio until late summer.

Congratulations on your 1:1 scale scratch built baby. He looks so life like. Is he RC or a static model? What colours did you use for the flesh tones? Oils or acrylics?
But seriously congratulations. You've probably already been told but life as you and your partner knew it is over but you'll have many years of joy and wonderment as bub grows. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see you back for at least 18 months but hopefully you'll find the time between sleepless night, feeds and nappy changes to continue you excellent work.

Amazing Work and Congrats on the new baby!

that has nothing but give me inspiration, oh the ideas going threw my mind now. excellent work and i cant wait to see the finished dio!!!

Still going strong. Well done.

This is definitely not my new favorite thread! Amazing stuff Cem. Keep at it!

I wonder if the baby takes all of his modeling energy.
Can't wait until a new update.
The thread is one big motivation to scratch building.
