Global Scale Modeller

Next project - already started ...
I remember I saw that kit in one of the Verlinden books and always wanted to build it by myself.
Very poor quality, cleaning and filling will be required, but I still like it. Again a young boys dream, I guess.
For the little diorama I am thinking of a combination of some gentlemen from both Tamiyas
"German flak crew" and "German Soldiers at Field Briefing", these will most likely be used.
Enjoy !

Good choice ! Looking forward to see what you're going to do with it ...

Already started! Good luck with the kit and pleasent build

Some progress on the build today.

Next update ...

Looking good!

Looks good so far, this should be a good one to watch.

Interesting kit, will watch with interest.

Ooooo... Cool. This will be interesting.

Also done the Flak canon now. Some tiny parts are still missing, so the primer keeps waiting ...

Looks like a nicely detailed kit. Interesting to see where this goes.

S here we are:
I painted the model with Vallejo black primer followed by Vallejo black grey. To achieve a nice weathered winter camouflage effect I then applied some Humbrol Maskol with a small sponge and added a slight coat of white. Then I peeled and rubbed the Maskol off again, using a stiff old brush and my very own tiny little fingers ...
It's my first usage of Maskol and my first "wintry" weathered vehicle at all, so what do you think ?

Wheels and tracks added, as well as some tarps made from microfibre cloth (the ones you usually get as a giveaway when you've just spent an enourmous amount of money for your new glasses ...).
The tracks actually were a nightmare, much too short and they tend to break obviously due to the kits age with that vinyl/rubber stuff being somehow "rotten" over the years.

Final selection of the figures that will join the 10/4. Already covered with black Vallejo primer.

Not to forget these guys ...

Brilliant work, really like these small half-tracks. The winter paintwork looks ace.

With the figures it should be stunning

Only a minor update, with some more worn out weathering effects by fading the white color down with black oil paint.
Hope you still like it.

Looks like you are doing a superb job, can't wait to see how it turns out!

Nice camo paint, looks great

That's excellent chipping work buddy. Nicely done!

Drybrushed the figures highlights. But these guys will require some more efforts, they litarally take me ages to finish ...

Figures are looking great...very nice tonal variation. I think your wash over the white on the vehicle was spot-on as well...it took down the starkness of the white and looks much better IMO.

I've always loved the little 10 and your build is getting me anxious to do one as soon as I complete my 7...though I will probably go with one of Dragon's recent offerings 'cuz I don't have your courage to attack the challenges inherent to the older kits.

Cheers,

Super job with figures buddy

Love the winter cam, really good job done mate. Good choice for the figures to.

very nice work, the chipping on the halftrack looks top notch and figures are coming along nicely

keep it up

Great work on the chipping, its got that cold steal look... Keep up the good work!

Those figures look excellent, and I love the worn look of the SPG as well.

Thanks for all your comments, guys ! Hope I can show some more progress on the figures next week then.

Build of the base in progress - made from Fimo Air Basic and artist "structured paste" - found that hint somewhere in forum, this stuff works out quite good.
And the figures - these guys now even start to get faces ...

Lovely work so far, a fine job

Finish line not reached yet. Still more work to be done on both base and figures.

Very good result buddy I look forward to the end this work. Well done !

Wow....looks awesome so far!

The figures just got their black oil paint wash.

First try to create a winter related base with good old baking soda.

Sweet!

Looks really good so far! I recommend you added some gloss or satin varnish on the ground to look more like wet mud

Excellent, almost forgot that ... thanks !

Almost finished. The figures need to be placed on the base, some additional stuff to be added.
Next posting will go into the Land Gallery section then. Thanks for your attention and your comments !
