"Czech Out!" ***Figure Toot Pt. III/2nd wing installed***

[tigrazor]

Updaaaaaaate

Have a seat! To be completed...









And heres the rear MG stand. It consists of 5 parts btw and I have to say no more Details are possible here. The only Thing I did additionally here was to drill the MG tube. Thats it:







Freight room ceiling - the light bulbs were covered with Maskol before I paint this part:

The diorama itself will get another update, too. The civilian person came with his bike that I borrowed from a very old Bandai kit [2 dinghies and two bikes included]. Ist slightly modified, and the changes had been the following:



The White glue may seem a Little thick here, but once ist dry, it will set and everything is fine  

[deafpanzer]

Great updates!! I like your work on the bike very much!

[tigrazor]

Thanks Andy! Already painted it... But I guess ist better to wait for some daylight - ist midnight here in Germany atm Picturestomorrow, promised.

Details are looking good Lucas, nice mods on the bike.

Hello Lucas,
The repositioned wheel on the bike is one of those touches that add an additional level of realism.

Sorry for the late answer. Had a little time and my SWMBO allowed me to build three "Tschechenigel" ["Czech Hedgehogs"] from the Tamiya 1/48 set that will replace the fence. Thanks for the CC here fellas... The hedgehogs will get some color when Im home Tuesday. Brown color followed by some washing and highlights with metal color I guess...

How will you get the spokes on that thing??

[tigrazor]

Now Im a bit confused... What do you mean with "spokes" please?

The kit says: three bars, two connection joints [triangles]... ready to go. Ill add some wire on the ground to connect them [shown on the box picture]... Should be enough.

[tigrazor]

Three hedgehogs ready for some paint

[tigrazor]

There you go... Hedgehogs painted and placed on the diorama. If you ask about the very rusty look, that should be okay. At least most of the steel rods at work look quite similar, if theyre exposed one week or more to rainy weather before they get covered with concrete

[bullardino]

I had seen this before august, the progress is really great

[tigrazor]

Thank you. Some lasercut flowers and a bit of tiny greenery will follow as last steps. The description thats supposed to be placed on the right side is in progress. Should be printed tomorrow. The whole WIP Diorama will undergo ist first "reality test" this weekend on the Expo in Pfiffelbach/GER.

I became a member long after this thread started, so I have missed it all until now!  What an ambitious cool project  going on here and I really like the 52 as it was a HUGE workhorse in the war.  Nice to see another corrugated aircraft lover!

The ground work has a lot of detailed things going on... the fence, the shoreline, all of it is looking great so keep up the nice work.


Can't wait to see the plane completed!

Great work on the dio, figure painting is superb, and in 1/48th too    Looking forward to seeing more of the '52 

[tigrazor]

Jeff, Steve - thank you for your comments.

Im a bit into figures, but planes - well thats another thing. But Ill try my best.

Decided spontaneously that the guyutside the gate should get a friend. Plus, theres some additional greenery [fern]on the diorama now, created with "Noch" lasercut plants.

Pictures will follow.

[tigrazor]

A propos figures...

I decided to add another figure - ist loads of fun to make a kitbash from spare parts. But please dont call me "Dr. Frankenstein"

If the guy here is from the Prague press or just a Hobby photographer - decide for your own. He consists of several Tamiya parts - legs, Hands, head -, Eduard ones [belly] and some scratched items, like the camera. Including a paper band.

Lucas,if the 'Pap' is from Prague,would he have had a 'modern' camera.(One if them old things on a Tripod would look cool,if you could do it!)

[tigrazor]

I have to look up my stash - somewhere should be one Ive already done - even the scale is the same! Was a camera for a Maschinenkrieger Project:

[wbill76]

Nice to see this one progressing Lucas, hedgehogs look right at home.

[tigrazor]

Heres the Pictures of the fern from "Noch"...






...and the photographer is painted. I placed him a bit outside of the green to give the dio a bit more dynamic touch. I call the ground works complete now.

[tigrazor]

...plus the laminated short description.

[bullardino]

he base looks great, Lucas

[tigrazor]

Thanks Luigi.

[tigrazor]

I was in a good humour and placed some more butteflies on the diorama. 13 butterflies, to be more correct. So the kids on the Expos will have something to search on the diorama

[thug626]

Hello Lucas,
Your planning for the base has paid off handsomely. Well done.

Dave

[wbill76]

13 butterflies = where's waldo of the model world! Nice touch Lucas.

[Deleted]

Base is looking very good Lucas  , 13 butterflies eh? Andy A will be suitability impressed I'm sure 

[tigrazor]

Mh... in myopinion thats what a good Diorama is about. "Just" a model on a simple base - not here. I think I owe that to my grandpa

[tigrazor]

Guys... Im off to the Erfurt Expo this weekend. With the diorama-to-go and the WIP RT-17 tank.
