  1. Here’s my 1/16 bmw. It’s made by a small south England based business called 3D Gizmo, found on Facebook. They make some excellent figures and vehicles, all of which are high quality. I’ve painted plenty of their gear so far and highly recommend them. I have 6 further waffen SS figures to paint and they will be added with this to a diorama, which I’ll be displaying at Bovington Tank Museum in September. It should feature a resin river if all goes to plan. Thanks for looking.
  2. Thank you so much @JackG as that was exactly the reply I was hoping to get. Very helpful. 👍
  3. These 1/16 figures are made by a small business called 3D Gizmo. Really lovely detailing and highly recommended. The BMWr75 is being printed and I can’t wait to get me hands on it. On their collars, I’ve painted them all as the same tank. If anyone knows how many dots the right collar should have for each figure, please let me know.
  4. The horch was 3D printed. The file was from Cult 3D and is easy to find but is very basic and needed lots of ‘love’ to get it up to scratch.
  5. From your comment I’ve just realised what subliminally inspired this… I did watch Indiana Jones just ahead of starting this!
  6. Turn away historians! This is a horch 853 painted in DAK colours. I’ve added Tamiya’s Rommel figure and his pennant but obviously this wasn’t his actual staff car. Doubtful that this vehicle even made it to the DAK campaign but who knows! I painted it in the DAK scheme just for fun. scale is 1/16. The two other figures and the finer details are 3D printed by 3D Gizmo. Thanks for looking.
  7. @Noel SmithThis was the 3D printed version. I built this long before Takom made one. Admittedly, it’s very naive in comparison. That said, when it’s loaded with stowage, you don’t notice as it’s absolutely covered. Side by side, their size is the same. It’s the finer details such as the windscreen that make the Takom one much better. The .50 cal is awesome too on takom’s. At £60, the Takom one isn’t a bad price at all. Plus there’s the figure. But it’s such a shame it comes with so little stowage. Hopefully by the time you read this, you would have purchased it already!
  8. I’ve made it. I completely messed up the steering though! I can’t comment on accuracy as I don’t know anything about the real vehicle. It’s fairly well detailed and apart from the steering, goes together well. I had no issues and I’m really not the best at kit building. The included figure is good quality too. I also have a 3D printed jeep. This one I absolutely loaded with stowage and ‘bits and pieces.’ It looks really good. My dilemma with the Takom is that I bought it for the better detailing than my 3D print and I want to see those details…but without the stowage (it doesn’t come with much), it looks a bit naked.
  9. If you’ve seen my other posts, you’ll see my growing collection of figures printed by 3D Gizmo. This panzer crew is just great. I can really recommend their figures - they are printed to the highest quality and are a cut above other resin prints. They’re are a small business and can be found on Facebook if anyone fancied getting a set like this.
  10. Love these figures. Printed by a fantastic small business called 3D Gizmo.
  11. Here it is. There’s a small light under the bridge, which I should have switched on!
  12. This one’s is finally finished. I’ve posted in the Ready for Inspection area.
  13. Finally finished this bridge diorama. The build process is in the work in progress section. I’m very proud of this diorama - my best to date. Thanks for looking.
  14. Here’s a set of 1/16 figures printed by David Harris at 3D gizmo. The detail in these figures is stunning which make it an absolute pleasure to paint them. They seem to paint themselves! I was really happy with the colouring on the great coats in particular. I’ve made a diorama for them to live in, which I will post pictures of in the diorama section later. Thanks for looking.
  15. I haven’t posted anything in a while but here’s this weekend’s work… The sculpt by John Rosengrant for Warriors is really lovely quality - nice and clean and great facial detail. I’m not sure how old this kit is (eBay find for £22.50) but I’d certainly like to buy more from this brand if I could find more. A good quality figure seems to paint itself… this guy worked with me and the face came to life quite quickly. The base matches my other displays - it’s made from a cutaway gravy box! Id recommend this figure.
