JakubIceland Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hi everyone, I guess it is time for my first build here on the forums. So couple of weeks ago my family decided to get me a surprise gift for all the work i put into studying and it arrived today to my dormitory. The plan for this one is to make a diorama of crew at rest around the tank relaxing in a bit what if scenario. Maybe the countryside? or a dirt road by the field. I am not a big fan of my family wasting so much on me, literally spoiling me but I have to admit, I am impressed they know me so well and they picked all my favorite tanks from the second world war. The box itself is huge. It was at this moment it occurred to me that I might require a bigger desk than my current one. The box art in my opinion seems a bit minimalistic for Trumpeter but still looks neat. (The ruler by the box has 30cm) Upon opening the box I was greeted by a lot of plastic. The kit is made of more then 1500 parts and might take a while to build. First part of the build is the lower hull and the suspension. Just looking at the suspension assembly makes my head spin around, and tracks do not help either but i am still looking up for it as it will be a satisfying job. So here is the progress so far. There will be also a separate topic for the Takom Tiger II soon because i like doing 2 to 3 models at once just so I can breathe from one project working on another 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaoinas Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Wow, It seems to be very decent kit with interior and all. How's the quality of Trumpeter these days? My only experience with Trumpeter is with their Brückenleger kit, which was awful to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrahs Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yeah, it is a pretty big one. I built a Maus in 1/72 recently, and that was about the size of a 1/35 light tank, though with a gun the size of a Sherman's 75mm and tracks wider than the Sherman or a Pz.IV (all in 1/35). In 1/35 it'll have to be outright monstrous, and then a full interior as well. I guess I'll make myself comfortable over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
