Thanks for all the nice comments mates. 🙂
I'm not worthy (plainly a load of tosh, but I need to keep up the pretence of looking humble). 😄
Spanjaard: The Stuka is in my Albums and the 262 is too shy to show it's face in public, so I'm afraid I can't show any more photos of it. 😉
12 January 2020, 16:34

yes, i have seen again the album of the stuka, very nice indeed. i will have a look at gain, when i do mine one day

What a crazy tank! This was only existing on paper as drawings I guess? Your scratch work is the opposite 👍
26 October 2020, 16:30

Yes frank, this thing only existed as a very poorly thought out patent. I've been looking through Google patents and it's amazing how many other misguided monstrosities are buried in there.

Yet another double trouble update for anyone with the stamina to last the course. Don't worry, not long to go now (just DON'T ask about the dio unless you want to see a grown man cry).

I just wish I could paint and weather as well as you can - that's usually when it goes down-hill for me.😉

Thank you too for that, Gorbygould. Very pleasant to read, but I think your work don't have down-hills, even in painting or weathering.
17 November 2020, 14:08
gorby
Daniel: 😄 😄 😄 What a fabulous contraption - I'm half tempted to build it.

You're too kind Rui, but I know that I'm not good at painting because I don't enjoy it, so I usually rush it to get it over with. I just enjoy putting the bits together – perhaps I'm channelling my inner toddler with the Lego I used to love playing with.😉
17 November 2020, 16:34
David Taylor
Im the same Gorby,prefer the modelling aspect rather than the painting.
17 November 2020, 17:12
Rui S
Well, i've to say that I also, prefer the construction part, even if it's a dio, but without paint it dosen't work. I even avoid painting subassemblies 🤔 but because I like dios, I've to handle figure painting. They are too difficult and take a lot of time, AHRRR 🙁
17 November 2020, 20:08
gorby
Tell me about it – I've just painted 51 1/72 figures for the dio for this monstrosity, although admittedly I stop short of following your lead and didn't paint their nails.😉
18 November 2020, 12:24
Rui S
Did you notice that? 😄
51? Where are you going to locate all that troop?
18 November 2020, 14:49
gorby
Yes I did notice that - you must be bloody mad. 😄
At the moment I have no idea if all 51 are going to fit on the dio - perhaps I need some sort of plan? 😄
18 November 2020, 15:04

ALL DONE!!!!!

Thanks mates. I've still the dio to do - currently about two thirds done. At the moment I'm making hundreds of tiny sandbags - remind me, this is supposed to be fun isn't it?😉
21 November 2020, 16:35
Michael Valentan
And again a real cool project...just getting in now, but what i see is fantastic...i really love your Scratchwork! Which Side is front?? The big roller i think, that would mean the cannons look backwards...absolute crazy!

Hope you build all the other crazy vehicles shown on that site you posted earlier...
21 November 2020, 18:12
Spanjaard
amazing job!! i wonder what will be your next crazy idea... and i will certainly not miss it 🙂
21 November 2020, 23:57
gorby
Thanks very much mates. You will be seeing this monstrosity again when the diorama is complete. 👍
I'm sorry to disappoint you – my next project is to reduce my ludicrously excessive stash of ELEVEN kits! What on earth possessed me to buy so many?😉
Scratching the ridiculously is very addictive, so I'm sure I won't be able to stay away for long.

Michael: Yes the giant roller is at the front. It does take some brain readjustment to understand why ALL the main guns are pointing towards their own troops. What was Jehlik thinking! 😄
22 November 2020, 06:53
Alex Rodionov
Wow. It's fantastic. Nice weathering.
22 November 2020, 07:41
Torsten
Absolutely😎, awesome build
22 November 2020, 08:03
Michael Valentan
Only 11 kits in stock?? Oh my god, that explains why you do that much scratching...i have 10 times of you in stock and always find something to build...from scratch...and every time i made a scratchmodel it comes out as a plastic-kit from a large manufacturer in the next year...last thing to build was a "Boarhound"...should be on display in Vienna in last June (GO Modelling)....will sadly never happen again due to Corona and austrian officials....

And i still wonder if the tank of jehlik was for America in the first line or for export to some "not so heroic" country...to shoot at fleeing soldiers was very popular in former times...
22 November 2020, 12:14
Daniel Klink
Whoaa!!! Very cool and with paint and weathering absolutely stunning !!!

22 November 2020, 12:40

Really looking great Gorb. Very addicting indeed, for all of us hooked on your journeys. Looking forward to the dio 👍
22 November 2020, 13:49

That would be an absolute unique and spectacular Robo Vac
22 November 2020, 13:59
gorby
😄 😄 😄 – Oh yeh! Robo vac with attitude. 😄

Thanks very much matiepoos I'm pleased it meets with your approval. Not sure about the weathering myself, I sort of closed my eyes and threw mud at it.

Yes 11 kits Michael – but they seem to be 11 eternal kits. It seems that even if I build a kit, I count the stash afterwards and it's STILL 11 bloody kits – how does that happen? I even took one shoe and sock off last time I counted them.😉

Annnyyyway – more bloody sandbags to make. 🙁

Rui S
Hahaha ok. I do not ignore you, and surely don't mind look at your work 👍. Don't quite understand, why you didn't paint their nails, hehehe.😄 Looking forward to see the dio here😎
28 November 2020, 13:29
gorby
Of course I painted the fingernails Rui, you're just not looking closely enough.😉
I stopped short of painting the whites of their eyes because people start shooting when they see the whites of their eyes and that seems downright antisocial to me.

Oh boy! I thought you just took a lint roller and painted it green, but you were really serious about that one. Still haven't made up my mind what's more incredible: the build or the story you fabricated. Be it as it may, I enjoyed both a lot.

Q: I posted a question some time ago, and then someone replied, and then I posted another comment as an update, but the last comment doesn't show in the newsfeed, is this intensional? The original post, did show up in the popular newsfeel.

I worry nobody can see my updated comment in the newsfeed, on this older post of time.
I suppose there might be a delay in the system/database, but then I wonder what this delay time might be.

Q: Is there any convenient way of scratchbuilding railings along the side of the ship, for 1:350 ships?

I had this idea, but don't have the tools for it. Basically using metal rods, then clamping hard on 3-4 places to flatten spots on the rod, then drill holes in those flat spots, then pull a wire through the holes later. But chances are I think the whole rod will bend every which way when clamping hard on some spots to flatten the rod in places. I suppose working with styrene rods might be simpler, but then, when drilling holes in the flat parts, the styrene will likely snap or melt if ever coming in contact with liquid glue.

One other idea I had, was to maybe try scrape the photo etch railings, to try round the otherwise "square looking" horizontal parts, making them look thinner than the "rods" standing upright, making them look more like maybe some wire than welded metal pieces.

I have seen Tamiya having some aftermarket product for the rods, with metal wire, but only for the Japanese Yamato ship, which doesn't look like most other ships I would think.

Wow. The vertical rods are about 3-5cm diameter in real life. That equates to 1-1,5mm in scale. The ropes are 1cm in real life? So you'd need 0.03 wire? The maths is from the top of my head, so I could be wrong of course.
I wish you the best of luck in pulling that off. And I call shotgun on the build!

I have some 0.1 mm metal wire. 🙂
Hmmm, maybe I could try combine that with some styrene rods, but square ones.
Hmm, 0,2 mm styrene rod might work.
Not having a precision drill mounted vertically with a wheel/lever will not be fun though.
Admittedly trying to straighten out a metal wire that's been on a roll, will be a pain, or at least have to be pulled out tight adding press/tension in the parts.

Oh, this was easy. Though, styrene rods are flimsy if accidentally knocking your hand into them, if finishing a model with styrene rods as railings.
The 0.2 mm drill bit is VERY weak, the 0.3 mm drill bit is much sturdier(!) There are no 0.1 mm drill bit in this UStar (UA-260 drill bit set 0.2 to 1.5 mm).
Hm.. I think a better idea, is to just use thin thread, maybe easier to handle and it will relax more nicely instead of potentially causing a stiff bend along the side of the ship if the vertical rods are a little unsymmetrical along the hull, if using the stiff brass wire even if just 0.1 mm thick.

The wonky brass wire is the very start of the brass wire on the roller, presumably the rest of the wire is all smooth.
