Wow! Looking good so far Ozzy.  Are you going to paint in detail on the box sides?

Got my Panther finished so back on with the Dornier Do22 in this GB.

 

:goodjob:

 

Davey.

 

Thanks Davey,

 

your Panther looks fantastic, I am going to paint the sides to hopefully give the illusion of depth. Looking forward to seeing your progress on the Do22.

I thought I’d start sticking the sides on, it was a clear night on the night of the raid so I kept the sides black. I tried some stars at the top if they don’t work I can always paint over them.

 

Merry Christmas 🎄

Ive got 3 sides glued down and cut a peep hole in the front, I just need to finish off the Stuka’s and stick them to the sides. I just need to blend in some paint on the sides of the background and pop a roof on, it will be definitely finished by the 3 jan. I may take a little longer to finish off the outside of the box, as I plan to clad with strips of balsa wood to look like a packing crate.

Looks great, I like the idea of a single and specific viewpoint. You can almost imagine a German peering out into the carnage thinking ' I'm not going out there, these guys look serious!'

 

Great job.

Thanks Davey,

 

i went for a slit rather than a full face view, if I was a German I think I’d pretend to be asleep.

I’m calling this one done for the moment, as supply’s are thin on the ground to finish the box off. It’s been a fantastic GB and can’t wait for our next adventure in the MTO.

Thanks guys,

 

I've really enjoyed the build, the first time I’ve incorporated 1/32 and 1/35 there is a few millimetre difference but nothing to notable.

Thanks Guys,

Hi Ozzy. Hope you are well. Absolutely fantastic result. You have really captured the atmosphere beautifully. Love the video. Brilliant modelling on all levels - the LEDs really add another dimension! :worthy: :worthy: 

Kind regards,

I’m well thanks hope you are to, it was a really enjoyable project. Adding the LEDs has really brought it all to life, I just need to find a sound generator to add to the circuitry at some point in the future.
