fallmonk Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Been at this for about a month , had a lot of hair pulling and lot of FUN do-ing this , carpet monster struck a few times plus a couple of shortages with the kit (ebay) BUT, that said its done and here is the finished project please bear in mind its my first time trying something like this , if going to do again dont think i would use the 1/32 scale the storch is bloody big lol, I done it at first with a Tunisian house but ditched house as i felt it was to large and squezed up the figures and aircraft . Remember go easy on me . Edited August 27, 2013 by fallmonk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 That really is a big Storch in 32nd scale. With the exception of those with the Kubelwagen the figures look like the Airfix Afrika Corps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 That's great, you're right about the house squeezing it up a bit. On another note, it might be worth seeing what it looks like without the figures with the weapons. The wingspan on that Storch is deceptively big though! Great diorama, nice to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Really great job and in 1/32 scale no one can accuse you of doing things by half ! Can I ask who the kubelwagen is made by. I have a Heller one, yours looks great, what are you going to build next ? Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Cheers mate , its a Tamiya 1/35 Kubelwagen , great wee kit goes together with ease , hope the heller one is as much fun . Next on the cards is a Tamiya 1/48 Lanc either dambusters (prob) or the Gran slam version, altho i have got a nice Skyraider that keeps catching my eye from the stash lol Edited August 31, 2013 by fallmonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraxinus Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Lovely kit and well built (got an unbuilt one in the loft but just put my foot through the ceiling so its staying there!!) cool palm trees a diorama always puts finished models in context superb effort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallmonk Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Cheers mate , Palm trees came via eBay (£8 for 20) From Shanghi ! Ps hope not to much damage to your ceiling lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi Fallmonk Good luck with the Lancaster build I have always fancied one especially in that scale, make sure you keep in touch with the work in progress so we can encourage you through the low points.

HOUSTON Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Fallmonk, OUTSTANDING build.... Reminds ME of that expression. " Mad dogs and Englishmen out in the midday sun" ! BRILLIANT modeling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Lovely looking dio, the exclusion of the house was the right decision, imo, it frees up the overall scope of the setting very well. The Storch looks great too, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
