Wow, a dio in 1/144- sounds interesting!
I can see the Feifel air filter on the tank, i think this one was used on earlier vehicles on the africa front.
I can't say exactly how long they were used later because these are normally no longer visible in later versions.

I will remove these filters or cover them with tarps 😉

Certainly joining for the ride 🙂

Looks interesting!

What a great idea for a diorama! It's shaping up nicely. Is that a Dragon 1/144 Tiger?

Thanks a lot HSC1932! The tank is a cheap diecast that I ordered from China and repainted later.

I used a picture frame and structural paste to form the terrain. Then I used my new static grass applicator. As you will see soon, I scratch built my own trees to place the aircraft next to a little forest. The Tiger tank is a cheap diecast that I repainted. As some tank experts already told me, it's highly unlikely that this type of tank would have been in service late in the war. I still decided to use it but concealed the Feifel air filters under a tarp later. More details coming soon!

Here comes my second diorama in 1/144th scale which I call "The Last Stand". The (fictional) scenario is a group of infantry and a tank defending one of the last critical positions late in WWII. 2 Bachem Ba-349 Natter were abandoned before they could be launched against bombers. A video with all details about the building process can be found on my YouTube channel - I hope you like it!

Sunday and some basic progress was done with the cabin and tail cone section!

More progress,
-Masking of clear parts with Eduard masks
-Some details on the main fuselage were not suitable for the variant -B so I removed them but also added some others from my spare parts
-Resque hoist provided by Italeri is suitable for -A variant only,so I made another from my spare box which is almost the correct one (will add some wiring also in the end)
-Added seatbelts on the seats

Another ghost build that started in my vacation. All parts are ready for paint, unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating.

Alexander Grivonev
What's with the weather in your corner of the world😄
too warm?

Martin Oostrom
Too windy and wet. I can't open my window to let the hose from my spray booth out. Rain will come in 🌧️

Martin Oostrom
Wind from another direction today, so primer is on.

Martin Oostrom
Painted with Zero paints Jordan yellow. Needs another coat or two

PS: you can guide your hose into a bucket with a bit of water and a lid with an airvent.
Check: How to use a bucket to vent a spray booth on Youtube. I will build myself one too as the concept looks very convincing.

nice yellow color!

The yellow needed 7 more thin coats. More than half a jar was used on this small car.

Ben M
That's yellow for you!

Hey Martin, you can buy colored primers like yellow or red. 2K as well.

Martin Oostrom
Thank you gents.
I have black, yellow, white, pink, three kinds of grey and rustoxide red primer. But the zero paints yellow "needs" 2k and that is one of my greys. That paint is soooo thin with colour. The decanted ts-16 on my Aussie truck covers so much better.

Martin Oostrom
Assembly has started. Most has been done. Now the body needs clear coating.

Ben M
Yellow looks great.
