Hi all,
I apologise if this is the wrong section but I have to admit that my Dutch is fairly basic and I can barely read it. 😕
I did not find the introduction section for the newbies. If someone could guide me, that would be great.
So I will introduce myself here.
I am 42 and coming from France (s*$t happens as they say).
Father of 2: a 7 year old son and a 2 year old daughter.
I have a passion for History, especially the period ranging from 1870 to the end of WW2.
I started model kits with Matchbox and Airfix planes when I was a kid but soon got into tanks as there were more parts.
I quit the hobby for over 15 years. When I got back into it, 3 years ago, the techniques had made a huge leap forward.
WW2 German armor is my main centre of interest (how original!), especially the Becker zoo.
I am more of an assembler than a painter.
I discovered this forum when a friend of mine sent a link where it was referred to one of my builds.
Neil Henkemans said I was a victim of AMS. Coming from a man who ended up pimping up his Bronco H38 so much that he finished releasing the first ever entirely 3D rpinted tank, that is a massive compliment! 😀
I thought I would share the end result here.
The diorama was inspired by a rather famous picture taken near the oratoire of Le Molay-Littry in Normandy and depicts a 4,7cm PaK(t) auf R35 of schnelle Brigade 30 inspected by GIs
So this is it. I hope you like it.
The model is from Hobby Boss with a lot of work put in to improve it. I spent a lot of time detailing the engine and the interior although very little remains visible at the end... 😳
Some guys here pointed out that I had got the ammo compartment wrong.
Unfortunately, they are right! I made the same mistake at Mr Zaloga and it is too long 🙁
The 2 standing figures are from Dragon albeit heavily modified for one of them. The crouched figure is scratchbuilt.
If you are interested in seeing pictures of the build, I will gladly share them.
They should be self explanatory for most.
