hello guys
this is my first post on the site and I will start with my last job.
I hope you enjoy












Thanks,
Cássio Raimann

Outstanding Dio.

My only criticism would be that, in reality, I wouldn't trust placing a Flakvierling on the roof of that kind of building.

Beautiful work, bravo! Nicely thought out, not overdone, not too cluttered with stuff, and very clean building and painting. Quite impressive!
I do agree (with all love of course) that the quad flak might be a bit heavy for that building! I'd also wonder how they got it UP there! But hey, Germans always were creative..
Great work!
Hey...BTW...can I ask you how you got those great looking sandbags?? Are they scratch or from a kit?

Very nice work.Don't know enough about the gun,but I would think it would be quite hard to get it up there.

Welcome to Armorama. That's a great way to introduce yourself. Your dio is first rate, IMO. I especially like the composition - very well balanced, not trying to cram too much in too little space. The ground work is nice as well.
I'd say the biggest detractor for me is the lattice. It's a little too clean looking compared to the weathered look of everything else. And it if it made from wood, a little out of scale.
The flak on the roof doesn't bother me. Broken down into component pieces it's do-able. Not fun, but do-able.
Extra points for no wine bottles lying around.

Just to flog a dying horse, a fairly high crane would be needed to place the gun on the roof. Otherwise, the gun would have to be disassembled, nut and bolt, and dragged to the roof, where it does not seem to have any direct access, except maybe through a trapdoor in the roof floor. However, that is not the point as I think the weight of the gun, especially when firing, would shortly shake, rattle and roll the building to the ground.

Thanks for the compliments, but flak about being on the roof of the building, used as a basis some pictures I found on the net. The moment I thought of putting on the roof, did not think the weight of flak could be relevant. As for how she would have put on the roof, I think it would be very easy because the guns are detachable, the shields also and the rest of the body separates from the base. Then pull with a winch and ready. I promise that the next work will take such care and thanks for criticism because they only help.

I do not think my horse is dying, but you spoke the trapdoor and here it is ...

Sorry,
The picture...

Bom dia Cassio,

Welcome to Kitmaker Network....you will have some fun here.

That is a very nicely executed diorama, well balanced and I
especially like your painting: figures, vehicle, and basically all the elements of this dio.

Now as far as the Flak, I would not worry to much about it.

If a Flakvieling can be fired from the deck of a Schnellboot
without incident, then I would think that a roof held up
by six telephone sized poles could withstand the firing,
after all, it is the recoil springs that absorb the principle
shock and not the roof.

And how Flak got on the roof...well by crane which at this time is setting up new Flak positions in Tobruk!...

Again, very well done!

Have a great day and happy modeling!

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Cassio,

joining in with the others to welcome you aboard! If you go on posting such nice piccies of brilliantly executed dios, you may stay!!

Congrats overall! The other gentlemen above have pointed out the pros, and I heartily agree with them. SdKfz is really convincing, figures are actually doing something and very well painted!! I also like the stained barrels, they look great!

Whether the Flak "belongs there" or not, I can't tell for sure, but what I know is that I love the picture you posted!! And again, the figures are not "just there", they discuss some issue.

Great work, well done indeed!!!

Cheers

Romain

Very nice dio...

I really like the colours. What kit are the building from?

Beleza?

Great work Cassio.

My only comment is with the lattice, as 18Bravo said. If you do some wheatering in that, it will be OK, I think!

Friends, thanks for the comments
For a moment I thought I was posting on a site that it was not for me, but now I'm more relaxed.
now returns ...
Gary, the sandbags are scratch
Per Joe and Romain, I was more relaxed after seeing your review, it had not crossed my mind as having made major mistakes. (relative).
Per, I created the building, not in a kit. I have pictures of the making if you like.
Edson is always good to find a fellow on the net, but I made a washed throughout the building and thought it would be better to leave it than to carry too. I can even give a hearty, but as the overall color of the diorama were, in my understanding, balanced, did not want to end up making a bobangem.

Grateful to all,
Cassio

I really like the lay out of those buildings...
I would love to see some pictures.
What did you use for walls structure?

The whole combosition of the diorama is good. Especially when you think about how much time soldiers use on maintenance, and how little time they are actually fighting.

Per, here I have some pictures of the start of the work.
Answering your question I did the structure of the walls with plaster and carved details with hands.

Very nice work, once again. I have a question on the buildings though.
You have support beams running through all four walls, meaning that they have to cross each other on the middle. While it's certainly possible if they were notched (which would be an awful of work in real life) I have personally not seen buildings done that way. Do you have any photos of beams running both ways? I'd be interested to see them.

Robert
I have a question. You are an engineer or architect?

Cassio

Of doom.

To answer your question seriously, no. I'm just curious if there are indeed buildings with beams running both ways. Like I said, not impossible, just more work.

Ok, Bravo, was just curious. hehehe
I did some pequisas the internet and found this site with several buildings designed in this way.

I'm sorry if I seemed ironic.
Living and learning
thank you,

Amazing attention to details and lovely custom work on the building...great!

Very nice!! But, come on....your last work ... Nope, I don't believe you..this hobby is too ace.

Very nice work! Great detail. Let's see more of your work!

Truly inspiring when I take a closer look on your post depicting how to construct the building from such materials and simple steps. The result was very really lifelike. Outstanding concept and also the composition! Love the overall dusty look especially. Thanks for makes us inspired and congratulations!

Warm regards
