Stef N. Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Here are the results of a project I have been doing on and off since the beginning of the year, Dragon's old but good Ferdinand and Tamiya's great Elefant kit, with extra bits like Atak Zimmerit and metal tracks on the Ferdi. My photoing is getting better but some good weather would be nice so I can get some natural daylight involved. As always thanks for looking and thanks for following the WIP and some great tips and history lessons and general chit-chat.👍👏 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Nice work Stef. You've done a great job on both of them. Nice one (or is that two). John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartH Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Superb work on both models...they make a great pair. The camo painting on the Elefant is excellent 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Great work Stef, each has its merits, glad I don't have to pick one! Love the colour you've achieved on the tracks. Super photography too, is the background one of the blue fade cards? (For want of the correct phrase). Atb Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 They're both really well done! And I think blue works best as a background for photos. Best wishes, Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Cheers John, Stuart, Darryl and Ian.👍 The background is just a large A1 sheet of thick blue paper. Quite cheap and one of the only things Hobbycraft still supplies. The fading is from the position of my light. Bit unintentional but it works I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Wonderful work on both of these. I have a soft spot for these after all of these years, they’re still my favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Real heavyweights with the enormous mass enhanced by clever painting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernst Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Amazing work that shows some depth in terms of evolution of this magnificent beast when you see them side by side. That's some proper soft edge airbrushing skill. An excellent addition to your collection. Cheers, Ernst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy Modeller Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Superb work you've done on both. Kind of factory work, but very effective! The camo is also very well dona, and the photos are in the same level which show them in their glory! Cheers LM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Cheers Filippo and Ed. The camo was nice to attempt. A bit nerve wracking at first but once you get into it was rather enjoyable.My Sturmtiger is going to be a bigger test next.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
