John. I’ll be here waiting for the next step
1/35 Great Wall Hobby 12. 8 cm Pak 44 .
- Thread starter JR
- Start date
Nice approach
Stand by, buildings and base time. Had a good day cutting out the buildings and roofing card, that will be covered later in corrugated sheets. All taken down now ready for scribing.
Base stone sets done, tomorrow expert to get a little done on the walls, that's going to take some time scribing the bricks.
This was the updated base with the additional 65 mm approx insulation slab on. Note the cut away at the top right .
This is where the water will be.
This was yesterdays and todays result. Id cut some of the wall out yesterday but they needed rear supports
Quite a lot , but this will ensure it stay upright .
Roofing card cut to the angle of the base.
All section marked and ready to take the front paper off , then cut out windows and scribe the brick work.
Spent a couple of hrs doing the stone sets.
PLeased with the first part, the river edge has been done in stone including 3 outfall pipes, need to put some drains in tomorrow.
Comments welcome.

John, always my favorite part of the build...now at least modelers will know the effort you put into the base and supports. This is background work most people don't fathom...the planning and measurement precision. I like the fact you've off angled the scene instead of at right angles to the base.
Of course I'm standing by with the extinguisher.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi buddy thank you.
Rick, thank you , I did say there would be fire, but now as there will not be much damage unfortunately there will not be any.
Have to say its mine as well Richard, decided this time to show how I actually construct Stand easy with the extinguisher as much as I had wanted the chance to set fire to part of it don't think there will be much need.John, always my favorite part of the build...now at least modelers will know the effort you put into the base and supports.
