Taking a seat.

Villiers de Vos
Taking a seat as well. I have both these models in my stash.

Edouard Carr
Hey Villiers/Christoph - hope you enjoy the build and thanks for watching the progress. Thinking about a custom paint job on the second spitfire with reference to the album power slave of which Aces High is from. Have some home print decal sheets that I have been meaning to use for years so might try testing them out. Revell have been kind enough to send a second Eddie Sprue so will have him seated in both planes when completed.

Mr D
Brilliant 👍👍
Great project, Pilots looking menacing 💀💀
Enjoy

Edouard Carr
Cheers Mr D 😉

Jan Peters
Love the maiden song, and will be following this 👀

Villiers de Vos

Bergepanther Ausf. D, Dragon kit Panther Ausf. D, Fat Frog Models tracks and some scratchbuild details to present an early Bergepanther.
An easy self made conversion for an interesting recovery vehicle. I will add drawbars, a rack with a timber and the wooden hatch above the turret opening.
Happy Modelling

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Today I added the wooden planking and hinges ontop of the turret opening cover.

Looking lovely, taking a seat 👍

Jennifer Franklin
I like what I see, following

Christian Bruer
Thx Alex and Jennifer🙂 Still enough place in the first row by the way 😉

Tom B.
Taking up one of those firstt row seats on this one! These Fat Frog tracks are really neat, currently using a set on a King Tiger... Looking forward to more of the scratchbuilt addons 👍

Christian Bruer
You're welcome Tom B. 🙂

Indeed the Fat Frog tracks are really nice, but a lil bit tricky to remove all the printing supports mainly on the inner side of the tracks.

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Tow bars and wooden beam added.
So far I have no references for early Bergepanther using the wooden beam, but let's assume it is a field modification.

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther. Rear plate, details added. I cut the covers and hatches off from the kit part. Muchveasier than to rebuild the details.

Alec K
Christian, I love your scratched wood structures. Very realistic to my eye 👍

Jennifer Franklin
Agreed, the scratched wood structure looks great.

gorby
Remarkable scratch building!

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much for your kind comments Alec, Jennifer and gorby 🙂

Christian Bruer
The exterior is finished. I think I will add some interior because I will the hatches left open.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Jennifer Franklin
Did you paint the metal pieces to look like metal or are they real metal pieces?

Christian Bruer
Jennifer, I gues you asked about the enging grill covers. These are brass photo etch parts from a Flyhawk PE Set.

Jennifer Franklin
The brass parts look great

Christian Bruer
Yep, they're nicely done.

I decide to add some figures, crew and chatting tank drivers.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few highlights to paint and the brackets for the Schürzen to add.

Thank you Alec and Mr James 🙂

Bozo
Guau, whaouh, oucha!!!!!
I'm loosing my words. And my eyes too.
Master piece.

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much Bozo 🙂

Neuling
Excellent small scale build!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Neuling 🙂

subotai
Isn´t the rubber on the wheels a bit too clean? But nevertheless a beauty of couse 🙂
Did you use a template for the rubber? It looks so evenly painted. Mine is most times a mess 🙁

Christian Bruer
Thx subotai for your kind comment and your thoughts 🙂👍
I'd like to present mostly dry mud what stuck to the tracks and wheels, so I kept the rubber cleaner than the rest. So far following some reference photos I used to follow.
About the paintwork, I did not used a template but painted the rubber free hand along the edges of the wheels.

subotai
Ok alright, then it must be a good edge or your ruhige hand 🙂

Christian Bruer
@subotai, both 😁

Christian Bruer
Some crew figures are meanwhile painted.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Jennifer Franklin
How did you manage to get such good detail on those tiny figures?

Christian Bruer
A steady hand, small brush and good magnifying glasses.

Jan Peters
This would look great if it was 1:35th scale, in 1:72 it is sheer magic ✨
Beautiful work Christian!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Jan 🙂 And, the large scale guys have a kit, we smallscaler need to do a conversion 😁

Rui S
Another Beauty 👍

Lebloge
Splendid !

Łukasz Gliński
These folks look 35ish as well 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind comments 🙂

Finn
Really, really well done!

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much Finn 🙂

Christian Bruer
Three more figures are painted.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Jennifer Franklin
I can't believe you managed to paint a camo pattern on those tiny little guys

Thomas O'Eh
great paintjob on the figures!

Finn
Looking really good

Mirko Römer
Thanks Finn, some more chi-chi and it's accomplished.

Tom B.
Cool, I always like some modern AFVs 👍 Will there be a base for it?

Mirko Römer
Thanks Tom! I'm not sure about creating a base yet.

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice weathering!
You portrayed the Stryker well👍
Will there be a dmall dio for this?
Ps: The OKB tires are worth their money, aren't they?!😄

Mirko Römer
Thanks Simon, I'm working on it 😀The tires are pretty good, but needed some work to make them fit. Probably it might be easier on the Academy kit. The ones provided by Trumpeter looked quite small and thin.

Neuling
Top small scale build!

Mirko Römer
Thanks Neuling!

Mirko Römer
Figure, antennas, M240 with scratch hinge, then it's done.

Mirko Römer
Done. Can be seen live at this weekend's exhibition at Wiesbaden/ Mainz-Kastel.

Simon Nagorsnik
You did a good job on this dio mate!
Like all the details you`ve added
Thumb up 👍

Mirko Römer
Thanks Simon for your highly appreciated comment. Better pictures during the weekend, as everything is stored in boxes now.😀

Robert Podkoński
Congrats!

David Gaylard
Almost finished, but my laser printer has died so a delay with the decals
