Ein wahrer Augenschmaus - Super!

Remarkable build. The base is great too.

I am sure I looked at the wip photos some time earlier, but I am wondering: How do you shape the bigger wave frequencies, and how do you shape the smaller wave frequencies?

Frank Spahr
Thanks a lot to you all, much appreciated! I produce the wave patterns of my bases by heat application only. I use a gas burner (only with proper ventilation and very carefully!) to shape the troughs of the waves, after marking the approximate shape of the hull on the foam board. Having done the wave pattern, I only then cut the base to size and only then make the cutout for the hull.

Sven Schönyan
Very nice!

Frank Spahr
Thank you, Sven!

Frank benutzt Du Styrodur als Grundplatte?

Ralf Topeters
Wunderschöner Wellengang. Sieht richtig nach Fahrt aus. Klasse!!! 👍

Frank Spahr
Danke Euch! Ja, Styrodur aus dem Baumarkt, so dünn wie es zu kriegen ist. Habe seit letztem Jahr ein Schneidegerät dafür, das hilft sehr.

Acki
Oh, wie gut! 👍🏻

Spanjaard
WOW, this is just magnificent! i love the look of the pieces of ice.

Frank Spahr
Thanks a lot! I made the penguins from styrene rod, sheet and a bit of dental casting wax.

Lochsa River
is there a WIP photo set for this penguin building??

Villiers de Vos

Building the Revell wind class icebreaker part 3 - making the base | Album by Frank Spahr (1:300)
👍

Rui S
Excellent 👍

Frank Spahr
Thank you both very much!

Ralf Topeters
The ice looks terrific! So much authentic life on the dio in such a lifeless area of the planet. I was amazed and astound!!! 👍

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Impressive work

Frank Spahr
Thanks a lot, much appreciated! I guess I´ll bring all three icebreakers I built to the next show ...

Zbynek Honzik
This album should be dusted off.
Great diorama! Excellent work!

Besides Martin Mars, there are other projects going on - although 'side project' always sounds so disrespectful. In reality, these are models that really excite me, the kits are excellent, with a few goodies you can add a little more value, and the original machines are a dream anyway!
Just like here: I'll show you 'The White Rocket'! This T-38A Talon was used by the Mercury astronauts as a training device, another interesting story. The kit from Wolfpack is good, but a few etched parts from Eduard in the cockpit and above all the 3D print of the two jets at the rear increase the degree of realism even further.

Maciej Bellos
Looking good Roland!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you! Glad you like it!

These five pictures show the latest status: the surfaces, decals included, are finished, now the assembly of the various antennas, sensors, landing gear, airbrakes, pitot tube, canopy.... canopy can begin! So, at least the final is already in sight 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
This build has now come to an end: a generally pleasing modelling experience, even if I was a little disappointed with this - for me - first Wolfpack kit: the fit of the parts was wonderful, the detailing was pleasing - for example in the cockpit area and the well-represented complex hinge mechanisms of the two cockpit canopies. But then: the undercarriage, airbrakes, the turbine outlets... it was all rather 'meagre'.... Accordingly, some improvements were needed here: a cockpit interior set from Eduard and an etched parts set that helped to detail the undercarriage and - very helpfully - the airbrakes. The fabulous nozzles from ResKit were also a really good investment! I love the decals and also the decal version from Wolfpack: in the look presented here, this T-38A 'The White Rocket' was flown by Deke Slayton and 'Wally' Shirra in the astronaut training of the Mercury programme - a fact that fascinated me.

Pz.Kpfw.38(t) Ausf. B Hobby Boss Kit - Panzerbefehlswagen 38(t) Command Tanks SdKfz 266 (Fu5 and Fu6 radio sets with two rod aerials or SdKfz 268 (Fu5 and FuG 7 FM radio transceiver). Built to the point of now I must select a specific type. Original wanted to finish it with large frame aerials (SdKfz 267) but can't turn the turret to allow one of engines hatches modeled open to see the details. So the two (SdKfz 266 or 268) both use aerial rods and don't prohibit turning the turret and leaving an engine view.

Eugene PanzerBabay
Nice progress

Neuling
Very nice result!👍

Rui S
I agree with Neuling 👍 it deserves a base😉

Dan Bacon
Starting another tank to go along with a 1940 France time period - Panzer IV Ausf. D - older Tristar kit 35023, so once finished have some German tank figures to go with vehicles

Pietro De Angelis
I had the pleasure of admiring it just now, wonderful work, congratulations!

Guy Rump
Lovely job! 👍

Mr James
Oh yes indeed. Lovely mottling spray job and great scratches and wear around the frame.
