Pete in Lincs Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Apply handbrake and go straight to the Russian front. Do not pass Go.... A cracking build. I'd have sworn it was 1/35th. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sairou Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Oof... Company commander won't be happy with that. Great diorama. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I like it. But I am wondering (haven't check yet) which one was heavier - Famo or the gun? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Magic, just magic & in 1/72, that's magic with a large sprinkling of fairy dust. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Silly, silly, me! I saw the post go up but the 1/72nd tag put me off having a look (I was under time pressure and so only looked at the latest 1/35th offerings!) Well, no time pressure today, so I had a look, and I'm glad I did! What a superb diorama! Absolutely fantastic! The 'theme' isn't particularly original - I've seen similar - but yours is by far the best 'collapsed bridge' I've ever seen, in ANY scale! The bridge appears to have collapsed correctly, or at least, in a believable way, which is good. I wouldn't worry that the Famo is the heavier of the two components... the Famo weakened the bridge and the gun was the straw that broke the camel's back. BTW, that water looks lovely. What product did you use and has it dried solid and hard like glass or is it more rubbery? Again, a superb diorama. I almost don't believe it's in 1/72nd!

Rearguards, Badder Thanks for comments Badder I like your theory of collapse . The water is a clear resin ,nothing special and it dries like glass but need to add resin in two layers, add small amount of paint to first layer, when dry add clear layer and that way you get depth to water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just been looking at that and thinking that's very nice, it wasn't till reading badders posts and after that it sunk in, holly molly it's 1/72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm guilty too, usually don't bother with 1/72 as it's way out of my comfort or even seeing range but now I've looked, wow, another blue ribbon winner. This is for sure a big "Ooops!!" and the driver was last seen beating it over the nearest hill. Great work again, these guns are sure impressive and the dioramas just enhance everything. Who would believe it is 1/72 as it looks pretty realistic to me. Take care, Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
