Thank you all for the likes. Still a work in progress. More pics to come.

Amazing build

William Joel
Thank you Dietmar. More pics to come, just finished the engine & tender body painting, getting ready for the camo finish. We'll see how that turns out.

Nice work so far. I enjoyed building this kit although spraying the camo wasn't easy.

William Joel
Gorby - what was your approach to the camo. My thinking is to keep the engine/tender separate from the undercarriage, paint the camo and then assemble. This should minimize any retouching of the undercarriage, keeping it black.

gorby
I built it all and only then thought about painting it. 😄
Probably not the best way but it worked out in the end. Leaving the underside gubbins off might be a better/easier way to go about it.
Incidentally, I remember that the painting instructions only show one side view which make it a pain to work out what the other side should look like. I checked online and if it helps this is my build: Gorby's loco (but you knew that anyway). | Album by gorby (1:72)

Just remembered, the only thing I didn't fit before painting was the two side shield things at the front.

William Joel
Looked over your finished model, very nice. Noticed the red parts and the addition of the flak gun on the back, nice touch. Liked the camo too. Again, very nice job. Did it ever get into the dio that you were thinking of doing. I too plan to create one, but in the future. Regarding the side shields, I plan to attach them and then do the camo.

Yes I did add it to a diorama at a later date: In the last six months I could have achieved great things. I did this instead. | Album by gorby (1:72)
It won't be easy to paint the sides of the boiler if you attach the shields before painting.

William Joel
Gorby - looked over your dio, great job. I too have the Morser Karl completed and considered including it in a dio. I have the HobbyBoss munitions transport vehicle too, but not built.

Question - where did you get all the figures?

Regarding the shields, I came to that conclusion too, so they will be added after.

gorby
Thanks William. The figures are from this set: German Panzer Soldiers Set 1 (Orion/Haron ORI 72045, 1:72)
