Red Five Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Hi All, Recently finished my MENG Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther Ausf. G1 (1/35) with a few extras, metal barrell and fruilmodel tracks. The figures are from Evolution Miniatures. Would definatley recommend them. The thoughts behind this one is the end of war period and they are veterans of many battles so the tank is beaten to bits but still ploughing on with their task. The weathering is a little OTT to try and get that feeling across. To be honest I got a little sick of it near the end but that may be because I have the modelling concentration of a 3 year old and I'm always thinking about the next build. Anyway Enjoy.

Bullbasket Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A beautiful job all round, build, paint job, weathering and figures, and the black background make it very dramatic. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi Simon, at the risk of repeating myself, excellant modelling and photography, the black backdrop really sets it off, as John said very dramatic. Looking forward to watching the next one. Cheers Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi Simon, a really good vignette, everything looks great, and the figures are very good, I would like to do something similar. I understand that well, when the kit is running out, I just want to finish, and it's hard not to put it aside, to start with a new one ... Cheers mate 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Five Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi All, Took a few dios and builds down to the Halifax Show today and got an, unexpected, Commendation for the Jagdpanther in the Armour Cat and also a nice Best in Class diorama (2nd year running too!) for my Omaha Beach Dio, A High commendation for my Battle of Britain (in same cat). So it turns out it was a worthwile trip. Considering I started this hobby in 2016 with little to no skill with a view to have something to take my mind off more serious things I'm really chuffed that people like what I'm now doing. Thanks everyone whos contributed kind words and advice too!! Omaha Dio if anyones interested Battle of britain Too 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeKay Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Great work Simon, and pleased you are starting to see some positive results at shows. Don't be down on yourself if you don't score in comps, you know as well as any how fickle judging can be and it's often not a fair playing field with a lot of categories being mixed and amalgamated. When someone tells you how they enjoy looking at your model and compliments your skill, to me it means a lot more than a piece of paper from a view of a judge in a competition. Just keep knocking them out, post them on here for us to admire or display on a club table at a show, you know you're more than welcome to display your work that you're not entering on the Washington Club stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Brian, Quite happy with the results this year Gold, Silver, Bronze. In fairness youre exactly right though, positive feedback from others means more than a chitty of paper, the thing that narks me is when its clear and obvious that people win becuase they know someone rather than their skill. See too many excellent pieces (of other peoples work) not get the recognition they more than deserve because of it. It really knocks confidence. Its a nice feeling getting something in a comp but not the end of the world when you know youve missed out fair and square like. Keep toying with the idea of joining the club mate never know one day haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
