Lockdown 01 - Bundeswehr builds

[darthspud]

Last years lockdowns caught me(like most) on the hop and i decided to go along a different modelling avenue to my normal F16 route.

All the kits came from UK sources, some were new, others 2nd hand.

I don't or didn't build large scale armour at all until i started this lot.

As soon as i can link to my source , i'll post some pics (Scalemates appears to be offline at this time)

Some pics of the Tamiya Marder 1A2, Slightly modified with Command Post bits and pieces. New rear cabin interior as the kit is an empty area not designed to be seen opened up.

Revell Aqua paints used through out with a brush.

Interior seats and decking came from a unused parts from a Revell Dingo Patsi 3.3 which i modified to a field Engineering vehicle.(pics to come

Glad you got the links working as that's a great looking collection of modern AFVs. Top work. 👏

Good work and interesting topic.

You made the most of lockdown, sure enough! Nice work

 

May I make a suggestion about the photography? Try using a plain coloured background like a sheet of card or fabric. I improvised one last week using a shirt on a hanger held up bt string. It's not difficult and it concentrates the viewer's eye on the model when it's clear of background clutter.

going to be buying a roller blind  for use as a plain background/base for photos.

Just haven't got me head around all the aspects yet.
