Hi Steph,
thanks for compliment , and you are not the only one
who´s looking forward to seeing how this is going to end
.
Until now I have only tried/made two dioramas and that in 20 years of modelling, only if you wish will I show these.
Cheers Paul

Wow some really great work, I think I'm being too picky or something or just old and slow....

Started on the USS Fubar; LVT(A)4


Hull done:


And inside drivers compartment completed. Had to do this since the two hatches are open.



I already added the two bilge pump outlets, after painting and closing it up I have to start scratching the extra hatches and antenna pots.

Bob

if you do not bother steph

O.k. Steph I´ll take that as a yes.
Hope I don´t get into trouble for abusing Sals thread
No.1 from 2002
Sdkfz 222 and Panzer 4 D both from Tamiya and both with
scratch built interiors.


No. 2 from 2009
Panther D from ICM with Panther G tracks from Tam. The idea came from an end of war foto showing a Panther in this cconfiguration

Paul

HI
PAUL, nice work. I like good the diorama with the T...... PANTHER.

steph

Hi everyone

@Paul(1721Lancers)- many apologies. At a glance, I thought it was a Panther but obviously I need my eyes checked and brain scanned . Nice dioramas
@Steph(steph2102)- nice progress on the build
@Robert(BobCard)- looking forward to see your build of the LVT

Here are my progress on the LVTP5

Earth and black washed


Detail painting, decals placement and matt varnished


I have to say that this is by far the quickest I've ever done on any model (neither highlights nor drybrushing)
. The final part of chipping and weathering will be done once all the elements are put together. Moving swiftly to the Santa's sleigh build

Hi everyone, looking great.
I seem to be falling behind but things are moving along nicely.

Finished the scratching on the USS Fubar, turret cover and hatches, the hatch in front of the turret and the 4 additional antenna pots;


Just have everything sitting there and not glued together yet.
Bob

Hi Guys,
Bob and Muhammad are making some great progress
Paul I have no problem with you showing off your work here, they look great were they designed from photos
I add a dust wash to my figures and with the flash they still look a little off

so I black and whited the picture

and im about to call this 1 finished

Comments are always welcome as they help me improve

@Sal(ltb073) - love the black and white photo

Below are a few shots of the sleigh build

Hi there,
just a quick update:
Measuring up.



Get some more done tomorrow, after I´ve cooked dinner.
Happy weekend all
Paul

Paul,

That black and white camo is really wild. The design is well executed.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers Kevin, I still have a lot of work to do yet.
Hope you all stick with me as there´s a lot to do at the moment, has something to do with this time of year

Paul

Hi there,
I´ve been back at the dio base, all I got to do now is turn
it black and white and add the black and white figure



Paul

Paul your ground work is looking great will you be adding photos to those background boards

Where did everyone else that was building here go

Hi Sal,
I was beggining to feel lonely here, glad you came back and asked where everyone is maybe they all gone to the Pub again and not told us

Those boards are just to keep my untidy bench out the way otherwise you wouldn´t see the trees.
Well I´ve done some more to the dio base but I have to do some more yet





and one shot in Black and White


Merry Christmas all,and I wish you much plastic under the tree

Paul

PAUL it looks great. a little busy at work in this festive period, I should resume in the new year. Merry Christmas to all
steph

Nice build, Sal. Looks good and fits the black and white original well.

Muhammad, very cool conversion with the reindeer and sleigh conversion. Looks great.

Paul, Very original to paint everything in grey tones. Love it.

Hi all, hope you all had a great X-Mas.
@Steph and Jesper: thanks guys.

Well I think I can get it finished tomorrow, here´s the KT
with the dude and his coat on the turret:

Paul

Hi there,

Sit back and enjoy
