  1. I think these Tatras are designed befor this opel bus. and a time before the German invasion of Czechoslovakia. Their technical knowledge was highly regarded (Tatra : cars, trucks Skoda : tanks). Maybe the opel bus is influenced by the Tatra design.
  2. The windows are in place The interior is painted The chassis and body are glued together Added some extra details. Wipers, rear-view mirrors and some extras on the roof. The model is ready for painting
  3. Well seen. The opel bus could well be related to Tatra. But I do not think they where family 😉
  4. Nice models And
  5. Only one vehicle of this type of bus would have been used by the Whermacht. For transport of officers. The original intention was to transport passengers between cities. The seats in the rows are angled at 45 degrees to give travelers a better view outside.
  6. The anchors and accessories First study about how they might have looked like. Source the Gresham ship (top right) and the Mary Rose. And sketches of anchors, anchor buoy anchor david, blocks. The anchor david One of the Mary rose has been recovered. He should have remained afloat for a while after the sinking of the ship. Where it will come on this model, no idea yet. The anchors are made of 3 layers of styrene (total 2.5mm thick) After cutting, filing and sanding, this is the provisional result. The shank of the smallest is still a little too thick, I just noticed in the picture.
  7. The next build log is about 3 Opel Blitz buses and 1 Olympia. General info about the Opel Blitz in WW2 http://www.kfzderwehrmacht.de/Homepage_english/Motor_Vehicles/Germany/Opel/Opel_Blitz_3-5-36_-_3-6-36/opel_blitz_3-5-36_-_3-6-36.html Bus 1: box and content Start building. Hooray, no flash this time and parts that fit Chassis and body Interior started installing windows
  8. well done. indeed, with models like the Mayflower and the Golden Hind, no one can say you made a mistake. but you can never claim that you are doing it the right way. Haha 😉.
  9. Nice model Jack I also had cataract surgery. It takes a while to heal. But with a good lamp as a help, I can now do my modeling without glasses 👍 Patience, and everything will become ok
  10. The "supporting structures" These are knees. Types and how to remember. Hanging knees hang one the ceiling. Standing knees stand on the floor. lodging knees lie horizontal.
  11. Very nice work. Seeing your build, makes me think to give a card model like this a try.
  12. Finished. Not an exotic model. But something special, and bigger than I first thought. And probably designed by someone who had never driven an armored car. The poor driver only had a peephole on his front. What happened to his left and right he could never have seen... No more room left in the Italian WW2 corner Thanks for following, comments and likes
  13. thank you for explaining. It would be a mess in this small densely populated country if there were no rules. But our national "hobbies" are : avoid taxes as much as possible and to interpret the rules as broadly as possible . You can freely buy an air rifle, but you are not allowed to shoot it, even in your own garden But, If I shoot a pigeon in my garden with that thing, my neighbor won't mind. A pigeon less that dont sh..t on our roofs anymore he thinks then. And that pigeon, it goes into the soup, without feathers and intestines of course😋. ps, please don't tell anyone 🤣
  14. The swivels are placed on the model. It is easier to drill these holes before applying the rigging. But without installing the rigging first I don't know where there will be room left for the swivels. Test swivel 1 Swivel guns in place Thanks for following.
  15. Do you need a special permit to hunt where you live? Here, in Belgium, there is a rule for everything. i need a license for hunting. I am not allowed to process the killed animal myself. and for the outdoor kitchen I must of course also apply for a building permit. Rules,rules,rules 😳 in this small country.
