Phil Reeder Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) I put my Rolf Harris hat on yesterday and painted a back-drop for my Tirpitz Diorama.I used the box the kit came in as a canvass,it has turned better than I expected .As a bit of "artistic License "I added a U-boat surfacing outside the Torpedo nets ,it just adds to the interest.Well the diorama will soon be in the Modelzone shop,and on display.I hope so,as I have nowhere to put the thing!! Hope you like it ,Cheers,Phil Edited March 25, 2012 by Phil Reeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbuna Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That U-boat addition really tops off what was already an exceptional dio...fantastic idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-26luvr Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That is a mind blowing display sir. I should think that some naval museum would love to have it for display, if you have nowhere else to put it. Carl T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orionv Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Very nice staging of this famous giant of the seas. I am surprised by the colors used for camouflage, I have several books on Tirpiz and there is no mention anywhere of green used here.I have references as various shades of gray ?? Is there new information on the subject which would prove the use of green in this period? If so what are they, I am very interested . The Uboat is superb ,bravo. Even a magnificent piece added to your collection. See you son Rémy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you son Rémy Hi Remy, Thanks for the comments,the Revell colour instructions and this book: both give green as one of the colours used in this camouflage in Spring/summer 1942,she had many different colour schemes during her life,one with houses painted on her upper works during her fitting out,shown on the cover of the book !!

Mike DeTorrice Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 This looks great ! A really terrific representation of the "Lone Queen of the North" showing all that immense power at rest in a quiet fjord. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
