When I got a photo showing a Pz. I towing a Ju-87, possibly on an airfield in North Africa, I definetely want to build that scenery. The Pz. I is a mix of parts from S-Model Pz. I Ausf. A and B, the Ju-87 is Italeri. I bought some Quickboost add on parts which are designed to fit the Airfix kit, but with slightly modifications they although fit quite well the Italeri kit.
Happy Modelling, Christian

I'm in 😎

Watching

Tom B.
That´s an interesting combination... watching for sure!

Christian Bruer
Thx to all for looking around 🙂

Nicolas
I'm watching too.

Alec K
I saw (likely) the same photo and also thought it would make a great dio. Glad it will materialize in your capable hands Christian 👍

Lukas Muller
follow 😄

Spanjaard
I am certainly following this one

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for looking around and leaving such kind comments 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss it

Christian Lehmann
Na, da bin ich mal gespannt auf das fertige Projekt 👍

Christian Bruer
Still enough place in the first row, welcome aboard Łukasz and Christian 🙂

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few bits and pieces to add before I can start the paintwork.

I got the SSMODEL Pz.I tracks. So far as can be see still in their printing frame they are looking quite nice.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Tom B.
Looking neat so far! Where did you order those 3D parts from? Been curious about those for a while now...

Alec K
Excellent progress Christian 👍. And same question as Tom B.

Christian Bruer
Thank you Tom and Alec. SSMODEL only has a shop at AliExpress. I was a bit hesitant to order there, because there is a lot of rumor about piracy products over there. But once I did not found something similar I want to order from them I registered and ordered at AliExpress. Payment was easy via PayPal and delivery absolutely in time. I also ordered one of the SSMODEL vehicles, Marder III Sd.Kfz.139 SSMODEL 1:72 72725. The details are top notch, but the printing quality in between excellent and poor. The chassis, tracks and single parts are excellent, but the gun mount and gun shield are not so nice. The gun mount is warped and the gun shield has a lot of steps on the inner and outer side. It also differs from the instructions where gun mount and shield are shown as separate parts but it was delivered as a single part. That makes it even more complicated to solve the issues. But I think I will give it a try for another scale 1/72 kit in the future.

Very good work !
Thanks for informations.

Tom B.
Thanks for the reply, Christian 👍 It seems that their shop is one of the reliable outlets, then...nice!

Bernd Grün
It turns out very well, Christian. 👌 Looking with interest for the final result.

gorby
Looks like a very interesting project. Exceptionally good work so far!

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind feedback 🙂

Meanwhile I have added a few more details like the steering gear and tilger for the flaps. I also painted and reworked the SSMODEL tracks. They need a slightly adjustment to fit well the the S-Model Pz.I. MOre photos sooon when I start the paintwork.

Happy Modelling, Christian

_THAT_ one will be a master piece 👍

Christian Bruer
I try my very best bughunter 🙂

Great subject and promising builds!

Christian Bruer
Thx budd 🙂

WIP painting the Ju-87. Underside in RLM65 Hellblau is done as well as RLM70 Schwarzgrün. Depicting the references I have, the paint seems to have a weathered look, which I took in consideration by highlighting the basic paint.
Next will be the camo with RLM71 Dunkelgrün and a white band on the rear of the fuselage.
Happy Modelling

Christian Abraham
An interesting project

Moreno Baruffini
Super interesting! Well done!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Christian and Moreno🙂

WIP on my Ju-87 scenery. I rrplaced the First to Fight Pz.I by the one from S-Model but replaced the tracks by 3D printed ones from SSMODEL.
That will come together nicely with a nice contrast in between all of the colours, sand brown Pz.I and the Ju-87 with a standard camouflage in green.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Lukas Muller
Looks superb Chris 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you Lukas 🙂

There is a lot of masking needed to paint the Ju's splinter camouflage.
I did not masked and sprayed it in one loop, but step by step. For me it works much better in that way.
Only the rear fuselage and tail end is missing. So I have a plan for tomorrow 😁

Happy Modelling
Christian

Alec K
Nice progress Christian. I like your modulation and shading, looks great 👍

coporado

take a seat

Christian Bruer
Thx Pietro and Oliver 🙂

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Ju-87, white band and blackgray walkways are masked and painted. Next weathering, varnish and decals.
A wooden base is also on the way, so I hope to finish this one and several other ongoing projects until SMC🙂
Happy Modelling

capt. R
Great work!

Christian Bruer
Thank you capt. R 🙂

coporado
Always impressed by your clean builds and painting skills in that scale!

Christian Bruer
Thank you coporado 🙂

Spanjaard
beautiful

Andy Dallibar
Thanks Spanjaard, coming from you that is high praise.

gorby
Excellent result! The weathering is great.

Mr James
Great build. The weathering is top notch

Andy Dallibar
Thanks you guys, it's nice being on Scalemates.

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Andy Dallibar
You know you all want to do a big Centurion now.

Nicolas
I used the good wether today to work on the smaler parts for the Fallout diorama again. The most figures don't fit OOB, so are modified or combinations from different figures from the (up to now 4) figure sets.

Nicolas
Today I started assembling the next 3 figures, including one complete scratch build. I've never done that before, so I'm exited if it works at all.

Ben M
Very creative

Doubtingmango
Watching

Nicolas
Welcome, grab chairs.
Thanks Ben.

Nicolas
Today I fitted the Rider to the motorcycle. The other figures just recived a little bit of putty.

Christoph Kunz
Nice 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Impressive work 🙂

Nicolas
Thanks guys.

Nicolas
I fixed the figures to corks and primed them with Revell 008 Black. Now I can see some small mistakes wich require some attention. The camera dosn't show that to well.

Erik
Very cool, even with Brahmins. 👍 😎

Shar Dipree
Watching. will you also open a photo album for the entire project?

Nicolas
Hi Erik and Shar, welcome.
@Shar: At the moment I'm thinking about adding 2 more albums, one for infrastructure & buildings and one for the base witch would than include the entire project. For me, this makes the most sense, as I also proceed in the same way when building. The finished figures then go into the display case until I need them in the building or on vehicles, which are then back in the display case until the base is finished. As I use the albums here to keep an overview over the project I find everything faster.

Nicolas
In the last week I reworked the seams & the details (1 or 2 figures a day) primed it yesterday Black (Revell Emaile 08) and added some White (Revell 04) ftom above to help with shadows & light.

Nicolas
I worked today for nearly 5 h on basic painting of the clothes. As I will probably not use the girl with the crossbow I want to try some things here, but wasn't motivated in the end. Next weekend I want to start with the skin.

Nicolas
I started working on the skin this weekend. Due to the dark base the coverage is bad. So I decided that final skin painting has to wait at least a week till the paint is dry enough for the next layer without working to much in the first one (I'm using oils here).

CaptGPF
Raiders?

Nicolas
Yes, most of them, blocking the entrance to Vault 31.
