"Pakin A Surprise"

[monica]

great paving Tommy,,looks really realistic very well done, and its turned out very well,

if i may give you one tip before adding any paint, the water can move, your plaster about,

what i do is give it a good coat of matt, to seal it, without moving it about to much, as the top coats

of paint will pull the plaster off the cork ,or ever pva glue, hate to see your good work go down the drain:rolleyes:

Thanks Scott

 

[tommy1drop]

Hi Monica thank you for that glad you like it, and thank you for the tip I`m going to take you up on that, I think I will give everything a thin coating of pva, once again thank you

 

[monica]

glad to be of assistance,and your very welcome,glad to lead a hand :rolleyes:

as i did some think and had that happen it pulled out most of the plaster on me,

and that looks so good,

look forward to see what you do with the shell hole,

Thanks Monica

Just a small update on the pak gun that I am still not sure which one to use yet, so far there are 3 or more pak guns that I am thinking would look good on the dio, but , this decision could change over night:rolleyes:

So far these are the main contenders

Well these are the ones that I am thinking off, but I also have some Panthers and a Nashorn that could look just as good as the above.... your decisions and thoughts would be gratefully appreciated

I'd go for the Trumpy kit Tom - it's the later war equivalent of the Tamiya one.

Your dioarama doesn't need a model it's amazing on its own some great work and ideas on this I love it especially the park area slabs walls etc keep up the great work thanks for sharing cheers john

[tommy1drop]

Just a wee update on the dio :rolleyes: I have started to build some floors for one of the houses using the coffee stirrers, these were cut to measurements and glued onto a card base, I will be building one or two more floor sections for the two houses

I have also started work on the Trumpeter pak43, nice kit to build so far, some fiddly bits, that my non co-operating fingers are finding hard to deal with, so this could take a little while more to build:rolleyes: anyway, here is one or two pics, hope you like them, will get more pics on later as the build moves along a little further

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics they were done using my mobile:oops:

The guns looking very tidy I struggle with the little bits often last seen pinging out of the tweezers across the room.

[tommy1drop]

You`re not wrong Dave, there were a few choice words spoken last night building it:eek:

 

[monica]

[tommy1drop]

I think we`ve all said it at some time Monica :D
