Tufty Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Absolutely awesome! Amazing! Fantastic! I sat looking at the pics for 15 minutes and thought, "How the hell does anybody have the time and patience to build something like that?" I certainly wouldn't! But, like I said....awesome, amazing, fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I am referring to one of the pics in that link you posted with the guy standing next to his Dora when I say "holy sh*t - that's stupidly massive!" He must have a very understanding wife.... Your build is utterly brilliant. Beautifully weathered and constructed. For 1/72 it's still a pretty big shelf filler. I once looked at the 1/35 scale one with great anticipation until I saw the price tag and realised that I would have to find a new home to live in if I bought it - and not because of it's size.... Did you do a WIP of this anywhere? I am really keen to see how your weathering process MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 "holy sh*t - that's stupidly massive!" More or less exactly what I said. Its bigger than a family car for God's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Very nice to see some more pictures of this awsome piece of work, I am even more impressed now. One question, what is the purpose of all those hand wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I did a bit of reading on these guns, absolutely nuts but heck, don't they make for a fantastic model subject, especially when they're as well done as this one. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I remember seeing these for the first time in beatties wood green when at school, couldn't believe something so big was available in kit form. I have never seen a built one, its amazing, how on earth do you hide something like that from enemy aircraft ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thank you all for the comments , regarding your question Nigel about the purpose of all those hand wheels, to be honest with you i dont know & the instruction sheet didn't mention a thing about it , sorry but if any one knows please let us know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I would still like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnas Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Wow... What a monster, I had never heard of this creation before. Most often when I see a model I either think "that looks weathered" or "that's not weathered". I didn't on this one, it just looks absolutely real! As someone else requested I would also like something of an in progress thread with some text and pictures of the build and finish, especially the weathering. Again, nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
