Mike Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I finished this today, so here are the photos. You can see the tiny WIP thread here if you're inclined too. A few more on the half-finished base I retrieved from the loft An enjoyable build of this dinky little carrier, although I still have no idea what make or model the machine gun is. It kind of looks like some kind of MG34, but with a malformed stock. Nothing French seemed to meet the same shape requirements. Weathering was done with various LifeColor sets, some Ultimate wash, and the aforemention GNR dental plaster accessories. The decals were a bit brittle and prone to breaking up when handled, so watch out for that, although there aren't actually many to apply many thanks to for the kit, and don't forget to have a read of my In Box Review if you haven't already 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nice model Mike, like the base too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thanks Andy. The base needs some finishing off, the grass toning down etc., but it's one of those Master Box vacformed ones that we reviewed some years back. They're quite effective with a slap of paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Any chance of a picture of the stock of that LMG.....Thought it might be the FM 24/29, but it isn't and my ADD's been triggered now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done some fairly lengthy searching of WWII hardware on all sides, and that's as close as I'm getting so far. 1 hour ago, razzie43 said: Very realistic ,that doesn't look like a plastic model! love it Thanks Plastic, very small, and very light.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I think you were right in your assessment "MG-34 with a malformed stock" and in the way you placed it in the model.....The barrel is definitely the best end of that one isn't it!

Mike Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 It's an odd one, but I'm not going to stress over it. We'll ascribe it to "fog of war". Someone picked up the wrong MG, and had a bit of a whittling session to calm their nerves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
