Trumpeter 1-144 Morser Karl Gerat - it's finished!


Recommended Posts

Great stuff, like many I've always fancied one of these, watching this build is certainly not going to help resisting the temptation to get one !

Superb paint job by the way :thumbsup:

 

Cheers Pat

Thanks guys, it was @JOCKNEY's Cant that persuaded me to stop contemplating my navel and just get on with it.

I've not attempted anyhing similar since back when my eyesight was marginally better than it is now, and the only paint choice was Humbrol Enamel.

 

I've always had a fascination for the really huge artillery pieces and I also have a hankering for some in a larger scale.

Finished up the paintwork with several (not fifty) shades of grey, then started on the final assembly yesterday

I'm glad I didn't try to build it all then put the tracks'n'wheels in because I would've certaily broken something

All of the plastic is now in place

 

 

Built

 

I let the glue set overnight, then did a smidgin of weathering today

Tamiya panel line washes in black and brown, just to bring out some details and Vallejo pigments to dirty up the tracks and lower hull

Fin!

 

 

Fin!

 

I reckon I'm done here.

I'll get pics uploaded to the gallery later

Complete

 

Pics are now up in the gallery.

This was a nice little (!) kit, which went together reasonably well.

There's a fair bit of detail consideing the scale, size and the really low parts count

 

Finished with rattle can primer and Vallejo Model Air paints

Thanks for looking and all the comments, likes and encouragement

Also, thanks to @col for proposing and hosting the GB.

I won't build anything else here but I'll still be hanging around

 

Now, time to clear the (ahem!) decks and get back to Ariadne in the Matchbox GB

 

/P

That‘s a big Karl in a small size, looking good in the gallery

 

Thanks Guys

I'd almost forgotten the size myself. I got so used to looking at it under 3x magnification 👀

That‘s witchcraft! You shrunk a 1/35 kit to match the size of the colour bottle!

I think it's actually just a big novelty paint jar! 

Erk, rumbled 🥺

And there I was thinking you had amazing photoshop skills as well as the modelling ones...

 

All jokes aside, that's an impressive result, Peter, even more so for how dinky it is!
