Heyo all! I have not really posted anything about this particular project yet, even though is has been holding me up for quite a bit of time now...
As modellers, our hobby naturally includes a lot of problem-solving and some challenges and maybe I should not be complaining, but it felt like this particular project trew a bunch of sticks and stones in my path:
Firstly, the resin Humber Scout Car was abit of a challenge with all the sanding and cutting that comes with these types of kit... apparently taking the place of the instructions, which I did not get any of. With a bit of research however, it was overall ok to build.
Secondly, the Roden Panzerwerfer has rubber tracks which I knew were too short beforehand. Thus I first bought a 3D printed replacement running-gear from FC Modeltrend. That piece however turned out to be an example of how not to do 3D-printed products: it sat on the plate without any angle and was a single piecewith two tracks, the suspension and some chassis-parts... how does one support such a print? Apparently not correctly, as the supports along the side-details of the wheels and suspension parts were partially "molten" into the details which in the end prevented me from using this piece. If you have a micro-drill, calm hands and a lot of time, one could "carve out" the supports and reinstate the details, I suppose... For me, switching to a Modelltrans-set (one piece running gear for each side) was the order of the day. It is not perfectlycast either, but after some adjustment, I made it fit the Roden kit. Using the PE-set and doing the interior took a lot of time as well, but that was largely fine.
As said, maybe I am complaining too much and in that case do take these notes as a simple report on the difficulties experienced so far in this project... rant is over 👍

With the problems you encountered I'm surprised it looks as good as it does.

Hu, i missed this one!
Awesome small dio!!
The composition is convincing and the depiction of the vegetation is pleasing 👍
Nice job on the Humber, the tank Panzerwerfer also pleases, but looks a bit too clean for me in the pictures.
But it is well the focal point in the whole thing.

Thx Simon 👍 With the Panzerwerfer I ran a bit into an issue with plain-Dunkelgelb vehicles I had not yet thought about: Integrating dusty weathering! As it turns out, the dust colours I intended to use for weathering were really close to equally light and desaturated colour palette of the vehicle. Note for further Normandy dios: I shall do myself the favour and do German stuff in three-tone for some darker/deeper colours present to contrats with dusty weathering 🙂

Album info

This little scene was intended to be built somewhat along the 80th anniversaary of the liberation of Normandy in 1944. It will depict a British Humber Scout Car (Resin kit + 3D Vickers K + other bits) stumbling upon a recently and hastily abandoned 15cm Panzerwerfer (Roden + Part PE + Micro World 3D launcher and wheels) inside a ditch/dried up riverbed next to some field they just crossed. The three British figures are from WhiteStork (the crewman; very good quality) and AMMO (3D print... some issues, had to fix the helmets using Tamiya putty, have seen worse though)
