Tamiya 1/35 Flakvierling

[Dogtail2]

I was going through some of my late Father's slides to scan them to computer, and came across pictures of a model I built when I was a teenager. The slides say 1979.

I thought I'd share them.

It's hard to comment on the actual model but the slides are great. Really effective setting.👏

I agree. I love the atmospheric style of the images and the tracks in the soft snow look great.

Thanks,

 

I remember I was always attempting to take fake period photos with my models.  

These were the days before digital photography, so you couldn't just point and shoot in auto and retake if required.  Never knew what I'd got 'till Dad got them back from the developers.

 

My Tiger 1 didn't come out too well.

The Tiger isn't to bad one thing you could try is to make out someone's watching them through binoculars with an outline and see how it comes out....Great job on the Flakvierling...

That snow is so realistic.

 

I made one of these about then, I believe I have some photos somewhere too. Those were the days.
