Continuing on, belt ls done 

The sizes vary but if you ever watch French Rugby ? They have some huge men. I kinda like the idea of taller people in scenes 

Getting some paint on 

Well you can come to our show in November next year 

The cast is now all here 

So to finish this build, got a gold medal in standard military vehicles at Australia’s biggest show today 

So to finish off this build, today I was given a gold for ships masters for my Emden at Australia’s biggest show 

Done ! 

Some chipping (dryfit)

Getting my paint on, red primer, then a chipping coat and bulldozer yellow

I got this kit for $50 off FB marketplace thinking it would be a punishing slog of resin. I was so wrong, it’s 3 d Printed and pretty much falls together. The only thing missing is fuel and hydraulic lines which I need to add. I’m waiting on mail from various parts of the earth so I can finish my diorama with the FT-17 and do some serious figure painting. This is supposedly a 1973 military type but I will paint her Cat yellow 

So to finish this, I got the storage set from Blast models in France 

so I finished this off, I have too many unfinished things 

so now you have all gone down the rabbit hole, I went looking for trams. EBay is selling the $20 Temu base for a bargain price and the miniart tram  does look good

It looks like a nice crowded scene.

I can’t really tellfrom the pic, but your tramrails seem to stick out above the pavement. In that case it needs a little overhaul: as far as I know, teamrails was (is) always level with the surrounding street.

I looked for a pic of the railprofile used around 1915 in the Netherlands:

The rail hardly above streetlevel, and the groove always fun for bikers (still is  ) And ofcourse: used track has a clean groove and no rust on the contact surface of the rails, disused track has some rust, and a dirt-filled groove.

I actually did sone research and based it off this photo which is why I added the plastic stippling the centre

Thanks mate, I just ordered 3 more figures from Blast Models. There were just so many troops involved in ww1, I think the busier there better . My plan is to now paint the French artillery pice and practice on some figures from AliExpress (gaming figures). Our major shows in in two weeks, I’m presenting on the Emden so this piece will be next year 

I’ve been procrastinating doing up all the extras, so today I added the tram tracks and dryfit the set up for the diorama. I can’t put off doing the figures any longer 

So I did some research on 1900’s light poles and the closest image I could find was nothing like the the miniart one. Enter Liang models 3d printed lamps. Wow, just wow. 

Side build (French cannon) 

So starting on the diorama base. I got this from Temu. Very soft foam, I pushed down all the cement work and filled it with AK Concrete. I’ll leave this set overnight now then a clear coat and mixed pigments. I’m happy with the way the road looks 

Crazy nice but also missing a carburettor 

Sweet ride!!!!!

This is just beautiful, the most amazing 3d print ever 

And the last piece
