Cool! Sieht ja schon richtig klasse aus, mir gefällt die "Zerstörung" durch Beschuss und vermutlich das rastlose Hetzen durch die Jahrzehnte... 🙂

@Thomas: not sure, nut English might be the better language for Creative Explorer 😉

I am sorry, but I wasn´t sure for him being from the Netherlands...
@ Creative Explorer: which language would you prefer?

Thanks Thomas, It is my first weathered project, so I hope I can pull it off. About the language; I can speak German, I can understand spoken and written German, but I have difficulties with writing, so I'd prefer English on the board. It also is more accessible for the other board-members.
@Philip; bedankt! I hope to post some new pictures soon, but first I need to apply the clearcoat.

Update: I added a convertible roof and worked on the skeletons.

Thanks Holger! I do think too, that the skeletons come out quite ok.
I now made some uniforms for the soldier, It was a fiddly task, but I think they look good on them.

Another update: After much consideration, I decided to take another new step for me: A diorama. Never done that before, so it is new to me.
I chose the next title for my project: Der Fliegender Fuch (The flying fox, after Edwin Rommel the dessert fox)

Spelled "Fuchs", the is no Fuch in German. 😉 To continue correcting: Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox. But I guess he liked desserts, too 😉

HAHAHAHA...I was going to say something as well but I figured a "native" speaker would do the correcting, but I guess as a "native" speaker of English I misses "desserts" too.

oops, I must've been in a hurry, don't i misspelled so badly.
But yeah, it is a 'Fuchs' and 'Desert'.
Next to that; I did manage to weather the floor of the cabin, I think I did manage to catch the spirit of old weathered paint.

Starting to take the last little steps, I added some more detail and will change a few things, after that I should be done!

Thanks! The skeletons came with the kit, although they were a bit simple and I had to give them a ribcage. But they were part of the kit.
