Well it's all done, or should that be i've had enough of it. The Italeri 1/35 Marder III is not the best kit in the world but hopefully i've made a good job of hiding it. I'll not go into detail but at times it was heading towards the bin.

Well, I for one am certainly glad it didn't go near the bin. You have made a great job of it John. The weathering, especially the wearing off of the yellow down to the grey is just superb. you may have had issues with the kit but you have produced a gem of a build. Really well done.

P.S. I thought the B&W picture was of a real one........

 

[Gern]

That's another little gem! Well done John.

Have fun, John

Looks great

Sorry John, missed this post.

That is a nice a very nice self propelled artillery piece ya got there. Can't believe you thought it was destined for the bin at times.

Looks wicked mate, great setting too - looks just right for the geography and season.

:cool2:

Dude that was quick!!

Nice little dio there. Whats all that talk about binning it. Its only plastic you can (nearly) always win over a bit of plastic!!

Great build and very very well painted!

Very nicely turned out John. Like it, like it a lot. The weathering on the Marda brilliant, and finished off with a cracking couple of figures. Like Graham, i too thought the B&W was a real pic from WW2.......so that should tell you just how good this is. Congratulations John....and thank goodness the bin did not claim this one. Regards Martin

John this is a little cracker, your figures are very nice the painting and weathering on the marder looks just right, the base is simple but very effective well done indeed.

Hi John, Like Fenlander I thought for a minute you were trying to copy the scene from an old B&W photo, superb job. Cheers Derek

 

[Cov1]

Oh John, you've gone and done it again and using a dodgy kit you've turned it around.

Thats a lovely looking dio and I too thought the B&W was real.

You know this need posting somewhere!

Great stuff

Just spotted this one John as I was trolling the recent threads.

Cracking job mate, and like the others, I had to look twice at the B/W image, very clever!

Oh! and keep 'avin' fun!

[Centurion3RTR]

Sorry lads just catching up too, thanks for the comment fellas. I'm just glad it came right in the end, there was a few times it was heading for the bin lol.

Have fun, John

 

[colprit]

Very well done I to thought the black and white photo was what you were trying to copy as your model diorama and thought it look just like the real thing. Well done John great build

 

[m1ks]

Cracking stuff, I'm impressed, the weathering is fabulous.

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Thanks lads i forgot about this one, it's nice to see it. I think it's time to put Voyager away for a while and build something tank shape, something in 1:48 scale and Russian. Looks like i'm going for round two of this GB lol.

Have fun, John
