Nice work!!

Spanjaard
Very nice job!

Stefan Fraundorfer
Thank you very much for your kind words gentlemen. This was my first torpedo boat from Italeri in scale 1/35. After the Elco 80' I built the M.A.S. 568. I love this boats in big scale.

Ray Seppala
Very nice Stefan, the base looks great

Kurt Reichert
What an huge model. Nice job Stefan!

Erik Leijdens
Amazing job Stefan. Must be a big beast this ship!

Christian Ristits
Fantastische Arbeit Stefan, echt geil!

Kim Branders
👍

Stefan Fraundorfer
Thank you mates for your motivating comments. I built the Elco 80' years ago. Today I would make some things different but in general I'm satisfied with the result.

Thomas E.
Tolles Modell und prima Präsentation! 👍👍👍

Zach Wilson
great details already! Is this going to have a diorama base?

Lenny Li
Hi Zach, thanks. I haven't decided yet. The plan was to put a base but since such subject is quite predictable - beach, water, few obstacles etc. so I may change the plan 🙂

Zach Wilson
right on! looking forward to seeing how you bring it home!

Very cool!

Lovely small detailing - makes the model so interesting to look at and great paintwork on the figures and the small details themselves - in fact wonderful work all round.

Tim Heimer
NICE!

Mark Norfolk
Really impressed with the weathering - very very realistic: to me one of the best examples I have ever seen, particularly on the ramp and ship hull / upper deck area.

Neuling
Looking forward .....

Lenny Li
Thank you Mark. It's a really labour intensive project given how big the model is. Never done ships before so had to do a lot of research. Will keep updating.

Rui S
Great Paint job. And also the water ínside... 👍

Tim Heimer
Just awesome work!

Lee Fogel
Marvelous weathering and attention to detail!

Lenny Li
This project is a first time to me. Coming in 1/35 scale the size is tremendous comparing with the usual AFVs I've been building. Bit tricky just trying to handle such a big model longer than 40cm on my desk. Big salute to the Ship Gang!

One of the challenges met in the process is to get familiar with the maritime environment, which is quite distinctive from the land AFV's. Did quite a lot of research on the net to find pics of different things, such as seawalls, docks, landing ramps from ferries etc. Even learned how to tie sailor knots! Quite an interesting process and I have to admit that I've been enjoying that process.

Anyway, started next project now and let's see how it goes.

I think the rope of the lowring loading bay, should show more strait tension. IMHO. Photo 24 Left side...8)

Just added the M4 halftrack to the LCM today. The LCM was completed 12 months ago. It's quite interesting to compare my own work 12 months ago - I'd definitely repaint the LCM sometime in future with the same technique applied on the M4 today.

Lee Fogel
What a FABULOUS pair of builds!

Olivier
Quite an achievement ... Well done !

Neuling
I agree with Olivier.

Rui S
Very Nice duo 👍

James C
Outstanding job on the chipping and weathering. Very convincing looking builds. 👍

Thomas E.

Great idea!

Gary Curling
May be a bit of tamiya buff on the top of grass?still looks 👍

Dietmar Bogatzki
Nice diorama Marc 👍

Alexander Witte
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! 😉 I like the Panzer grey though, a nice faded touch, thank you.

Marc .
Thanks gary for your idea to use buff. I can see a difference but it's barely noticeable in the photos.
Maybe I should use more buff but I'll wait and see what the whole scene looks like with resin water and water lilies.

Thanks Dietmar.

Thanks Alexander.

Rui S
Looking good 👍

Mspi101
O panzer of the lake, what is your wisdom?

Robert Podkoński
Looks great already. I can't wait to see the final effect 🙂

Marc .
Thanks Rui.

Thank you Robert.

Dear Mspi101 finish the models that you have before buying new ones ...
- The Panzer of the lake has spoken😉

Shar Dipree
Looks fanstastic ao far.
The embankment just looks great.

Marc .
Thanks Shar Dipree.

Mr James
The embankment and roots are very well done 👏

Looks brill.

Rui S
Great, 👍 keep it coming

Ben M
Blub.

Spanjaard
really impressive, looking forward the following steps

Bruce Huxtable
Wow! This is going to be a stunner! I agree, the tree roots are well observed, so very convincing. May I suggest a few dead grass stems amongst the fresh leaves? Perhaps some old tree leaves too? Can't wait to see the lily pads...

Maciej
Beautiful!

Clair Greenwood
Precision approach, Im loving it. Is that putty around the bogies to hull fitment? Just curious 🙂

Eddy Marshall
Cheers Clair... Just for fitting to the hull... The connections between the running gear and hull are extremely loose... Not to mention the rocker arm assemblies have a tendency to be misaligned... Just mocking it up at the moment and see where I need to shore things up... Happy modelling...

Clair Greenwood
Ahhh ok, doing it the smart way, thats something I probably wouldn't think to do.

Rui S
Looking Great 👍. I've really enjoyed doing the T-26. I'm in 😎

This is the last piece of my work for the 2022 Christmas season! The LVT4 was completed in Oct 2022. But the diorama base took much longer. The water effect took about a week to fully healed and cured as multiple layers were done in days.

I didn't realise a mistake in the tracks until the very last step and it was too late to fix. Hope no one would notice 🙁

PS. I used the real sand from Byron Bay in New South Wales for the beach from a trip there last year!

Hope you enjoy the diorama as much as I do.

Treehugger
Nice diorama and nice photos 🙂

Simon Nagorsnik
Oh yes, a LVT! One of my most favourites!
Love your dio!

Neuling
Top diorama with lots of interesting details. I especially like the excellent work on the vehicle and the sea water. 👍👍

Bruce Huxtable
Astonishing work. Superb in every department!

Nathan Dempsey
Beautiful work Lenny.

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful dio, stunning LVT, congrats!

Thomas E.
Wonderful work! Outstanding! 👍👍👍

Great!! I like the first parts of you cockpit entrance section. I want to build something similar on mine, when I start it in sometime....

DuperScale
I build this kit myself. It was a nice build without big problems. I follow. Are you gonna replace the nose and back/apu or you gonna leave it?

Moaske
I do have a resin nose in my stash, but I don't think I'm gonna use it: there's too much butchering of a fine kit involved for too little gain....: as I can't really tell the shape difference anyway?

Alexander Grivonev
Nice, will follow this one. Built the KH Su-34, also detailed the avionics bay a little. Are you going with the egg plant grey scheme?

Moaske
I'm going with the eggplant grey scheme indeed 🙂
And I think I'll do some more cable booms in the main gear wells

Vincent
Very impressive work. I will be following this one!

Guy Rump
Following too! 👍

Spanjaard
looking really good already, woll certainly follow

J35J
Great start! Following👍🏻

Desert Marlin
I'll watch this one!

DuperScale
Mine had fogging windows as well. Beside that it's a nice result.
