JeroenS Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I guess sometimes it takes a while to warm up 🙂 ... I like this thing though, it's quite unusual, never seen anything like it. It's beautifully made and the scene you've depicted is really nicely detailed. I like the guy in the middle, taking a breather. And the fact that you scratched this in that small scale, wow. What are the actual dimensions of the build? Btw this would also be a great subject for the dio section I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I sure like it. I'd have liked it well enough if it was 1/35 or similar but 1/72, that's just a bit amazing. A beautiful build that contains a lot of interest. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wasley Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 There is no end to your talented skill,this is a feast for the EYES,and reacting to it for myself I'm an old fellow and it takes time for my body to kick in followed by my brain.Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Well I like it! A lot. Mistook it for the Trumpeter 1/35 offering at first. Producing something that good is evolution's way of telling you to give up the wingy thingies for good! I'm sure I've mentioned before on this site that UM do a fair few armoured train kits in 1/72, but this is one they don't do - obviously. Their offerings are mostly Russian but they do some of the smaller German railcars, if you're into that sort of thing. You need one of their Russian MBV-2 kits (they do 3 - and there were only 2 real ones!) as a companion piece to this. Sort of equivalents, although a few years apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
