IPMS19 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 -This is the "Scourge of the Atlantic" being readied for his next trip. I had forseen to show the model in his environement on a base supposed to be Bordeaux protected by wooden blast shields but owing to the general siez of the things I was unable to take corrects pics, I m may be a not too bad modeller but not a photographer..... -I made some changes to the basic model mostly the EDL 151 turret and the rear firing post -It is my last diorama I show you for now ,the next is still in preparation and Ill don't show it before Telford SMW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish 251 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Great diorama. Is that the Trumpeter 1/48 kit? I think the Revell ones are only 1/72. Edited August 31, 2012 by Irish 251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPMS19 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) -This is what I had forseen for my diorama, it is seldom visible in this shape owing to its size, it is not very easy to carry with all the care this kind of stuff requires -it is was it was intended to represent, the colors of the wall are guess work as I have no idea of what these colors could be -No problem with the antena wire Edited September 1, 2012 by IPMS19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggers Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 That's a cracker. The figures and vehicles really add to it,the Opel(?)refueller is great. Those baggy trousered German officers always liked to ride around in Citroen TA Legeres didn't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPMS19 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 That's a cracker. The figures and vehicles really add to it,the Opel(?)refueller is great. Those baggy trousered German officers always liked to ride around in Citroen TA Legeres didn't they. -The Citroen 15 hp "Traction avant" was the best french car of its days mostly because it was a forward wheels drive compared to its contemporaries which were rear wheel drive which gives it much more responsives performances.It was the car of gouvernemental authorities as well as gangsters and the so called "resistant" made a great use of it. For the German, they were bounty cars and very often these cars were simply "requisitionned" to their regular French owners by order of the Germany authorities..They were used on every front even in Russia issued to military units for their officers and certainly by german civilian in internal Reich -This car had a little sister the 11hp which was more popular oriented, which is relativ as in those days very few workers ,if no, could enjoy a car. It s production ended in the mid fifties when it was replaced by the DS 19 which is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skybert Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Excellent model and diorama sir, I just love the Condors, it really deserves a good setting for photography, although I understand it's almost impossible inside normal urban and domestic environments.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
