vppelt68 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Wow. I never imagined cork would look that good as a worn slab. What a splendid base for the greatest AT gun of the war, that was the... oh that´s up to you, sir! V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy1drop Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just a small update on the slabbing, I have set the cork slabbing for the pavement around the park entrance this was done using pieces of cork cut to size and filed edges using an emery board these were then glued into place and then a plaster mix was smoothed in between them to create a cement finish and to add texture to the cork...hope you like them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 You don't need the AT gun anymore, this build is so unbelievable as a model of the park and the streets :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy1drop Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Just a small update on the dio, I`m undecided which pak gun to use for the dio, I have several different kits in mind and so far the 3 main contenders are these....but that may change over night , Edited October 20, 2014 by tommy1drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If you want the best, pick 7,5cm PAK 40, or whatever the official name is. V-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAYELL Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Wow!, that takes some skill and determination to do what you have done so far and with more to come. My groundwork is weak so I am going to use this build for inspiration. Looking forward to more. Cheers K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy1drop Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Just a wee update on the dio I have started to build some floors for one of the houses using the coffee stirrers, these were cut to measurements and glued onto a card base, I will be building one or two more floor sections for the two housesI have also started work on the Trumpeter pak43, nice kit to build so far, some fiddly bits, that my non co-operating fingers are finding hard to deal with, so this could take a little while more to build anyway, here is one or two pics, hope you like them, will get more pics on later as the build moves along a little further Sorry for the poor quality pics, these were done using my mobile.

Ozzy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I like the use of coffee stirrers, I will use that idea for the flatbed part of my rolling stock. Cheers Ozzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
