Good morning everybody! Again to show the beginning of a work that is not yet well defined. The idea is to use a Stug Late Version (RFM) and another smaller vehicle in a scenario where both are exchanging information (intel). Using a new foam that seems to be ideal for replacing plaster, which was my favorite material for making buildings and other details. Let’s see how this will all play out.
Hi, Sam! The building is an attempt I’m making to replace the plaster I used before. I found this foam very useful and easy to work. Have tried some others but this one is perfect for my poor skills. Thanks!
John, Sam and Barney.
I took few photos of the building construction process. I still wasn’t sure what result I would get. The next one will be more detailed and photographed. I promise.
Thank you for the feedback.
Gelson, that building is beautiful. Outstanding workmanship. Can’t wait to see the vehicles. I vote for the Luchs to be included. Although produced in small numbers, we never see them built in dioramas.
Oh, sorry!
I have already assembled the Tasca kit that was a fine piece. The Border Model also offers the option to make the suspension workable, like the Tasca one. The kit is very good. Some fitment issues but nothing serious. My only drawback concerns the tracks. If you could use better ones, the workable type, to combine with the mobile suspension, that would be better. The ones that come with the kit are those in sections. They are individual only to be mounted on the tractor and tension wheels.
Absolutely, Anders. That Balsa Foam dust requires a face shield to work with it (protective mask). But, I still see many advantages if we compare it to plaster. This, in addition to all that dirt, also produces very unpleasant dust when dry. One thing that helps me is to apply a layer of varnish, both on the Balsa Foam and on the plaster, before starting to paint. The varnish helps prevent that dust from continuing to interfere with the work. Thanks for the feedback.
