Jasper dog Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I must say this is looking suspiciously like progress Steve! Looking really well, I know you don't need me to tell you that but... Does it get a base too? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it will but it won't be diorama as when i finished the Orphan of Cologne i realised i had nowhere to put it ....so it got broken up....now i make small bases with just a little ground work with a figure or two just to add scale and so the main feature is the vehicle. I have a Panzerart figure for this which is almost done .....and not wired to a piece of wood 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after all that time get the wallpaper aligned too.... I know what you mean about room though... The best one I did, and there ain't much competition, was just on a small off cut from a tree branch, 1 vehicle, 1 figure, and job done👍 4 minutes ago, M3talpig said: I have a Panzerart figure for this which is almost done .....and not wired to a piece of wood Now, who would pull a crazy stunt like that..... some people, no shame! 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I did something similar on a broken glass whilst washing up a few years ago, couldn't quite bring myself to squirt the CA in there....

I hope this doesn't lead to a spate of copy cat wound pics!!! Some of us are of a sensitive disposition, perhaps put a warning up first!🤢 At least the injury doesn't look to bad and it's nice and clean!😉 Seriously do you think i should pull the pic...i didn't post it to be nasty i posted as a sort of warning to pay attention when handling sharp things...don't want to annoy anybody ...i will gladly pull the pic it's not a problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3talpig Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Work has continued ...the base is under way as other parts dry or are in the process of being worked on....the track links have been added as have the tow cable which i tried my best to route the same as the pic of the real vehicle....the base is going to be beyond simple, just the surrounding rubble and the tarps and other bit and bobs that were found around the vehicle at the time the U.S decided to take it away....and two U.S infantry for scale...which i have yet to buy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
