Alessandro_Jug Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Hi all here is another kit I have started in the past, it is a Hobby Boss 1/35 scale ADGZ and a IBG 100/17 Howitzer. As always I have been inspired by a picture, source Stefano di Giusto "Panzer in OZAK" book, some historical background: the armorerd car is from a german Polizei Unit, the 13 Verst. Pol. Pz. Kp., while the howitzer is from a Slovene unit called "Domobranci". Cheers! Alessandro The layout of the scene should be this, maybe I will also add a horse. and the ADGZ at 90% to the end, the driver is already painted.

Geo1966 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 A strange looking beast, but very nicely done. George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vytautas Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Looks great, the visible ADGZ internal details are another level! What engine did you use? Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vytautas Hi all, thank you for the comments, I used a part from the MR Modellbau ADGZ engine to fill the gap. Cheers Alessandro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi all the armoured car was a joke, the gun is a real nightmare, I have still a lot of work to do.... Cheers Alessandro 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcoat2966 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I've heard that HobbyBoss and IBG have some to a lot of issues in their build fit and detail. Looks like you did a good job though on the artillery bringing it up to scratch. Nice work...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro_Jug Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Ok also the howitzer is 90% done, I had to add a lot of extras from my spare parts box, now I need to add some bolts, handles and some small bits, then the thing is complete.

Milan Mynar Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 You have beautifully improved the kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Horse time! I got a Master Box horse, then I replaced the tail with some cat's hair I set up with some hairspray, for the mane instead I used some syntetic shoe laces but I think the best is natural cat's hair. Cheers! Alessandro Edited May 23, 2022 by Alessandro_Jug 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Mynar Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The horse looks great. With your upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoxx77 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 That looks really impressive so far! The level of detail in the howitzer, the paintjob on the driver, the horse. You are a jack of all trades when it comes to modeling! Very interesting to see how you get on with this kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro_Jug Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi all so here is the horse painted, oh yes, he has no name of course, as per America's song 🙂 Cheers Alessandro 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro_Jug Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hi all, so I painted the armored car and the howitzer. As a standard for me i use the hairspray technique and a selected washing, the models are at this stage of painting. then I will start the real weathering with oil dots and pigments. I hope you like it and feel free to add your comments and criticisms! Cheers Alessandro 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model Mate Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 fabulous work - the gun looks great, the chipping is excellent, and the figures are superb! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro_Jug Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Hi all, after a long time, here is a picture of the diorama base, I need to add some more trees and a lot of bushes, I also tried to figure out how the scene works, and I think it resembles in a good way the original picture. This summer I went out in the mountains around here for a walk, so I gathered a lot of pictures of what a forest look like, I think making a realistic natural environment is extremely difficult, so observe, should be the best way to reproduce it. Cheers! Alessandro Edited September 26, 2022 by Alessandro_Jug 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zgubiony Turysta Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 It's a great project, indeed 👍. Did the kit contain a brass barrel for the 20 mm cannon, or did you buy it separately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Looking good. Wish I could do trees & groundwork. It terrifies me though, sadly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Really interesting, unusual subject and executed extremely well ! The fact that you managed to copy a particular scene from a period pic is also highly commendable ! One minor quibble, the horse is a bit shiny perhaps you could apply another coat of matt varnish.

Hi, the gun barrel is a 20 mm SBS brass barrel, it is made for the Toldi hungarian tank tough it's the same for the ADGZ. The trees are from an italian firm called "diorama presepe", some are good some not and well... not cheap! Oh yes, the horse is really shiny, I think I will repaint it, as four coats of matt paint did not do theyr job... Well now the work goes on with the ground of the forest, wich will take a lot of time. Cheers and thank you for all your comments!
