Current Projects

[Sisko]

Here are some pics of two projects I ahve on the bench. One I would like to get finished before I go away next week.

The first two pics are of my German Land Dreadnaught

The last two are of my Amtech Ta-183

Ta-183

This one is the closest to being finished. I just have to get over this loss of motivation for modelling that I have had.

I have to say that this kit has been an absoulute dream to build.

Super cool. That dreadnought is wonderful...love the sponson guns!

That land dreadnought is the bees knees! Love the way you're melding W.W. I technology with it.

Well the land dreadnaught went through many concepts from a steam tank to a WW1 plan 1919 breakthrough project.

Someone on this board and I can't remember who suggested a German Ogre and the idea stuck.

I'm calling it the Ogre of the Steppe.

I actually made some more progress over the last day or two so I should have some updated photos soon.

To think I was going to give the hobby away!

Well it has been a couple of things that have really killed my enthusiasm fo modelling.

A particular kit from hasagawa that has tested my patience and my ability to breaking point!!

The fact that I have been diagnosed with hooping cough and been sick for the last two months. A job that entails being away for 1/3rd of the year even while sick.

I think that the best cure is to work on some fun projects that will give me the fortitude to plough on.

the tank is really def! :dum:

Like that 183 - what a cool camo scheme! I tried that on Monogram's 1:72? P-40N.

Thanks

Ahhhh the wonders of bluetac.

Great for camo schemes where you want a nice soft edge.

The scheme is straight from the instruction sheet.

Absolutely stunning.  Sorry to hear about your whooping cough.  I've had a similar affliction for past few weeks.  Can't seem to shake it, either.
Hope you feel 100% asap and a sudden urge to model whenever the opportunity arises (IMHO: your quality deserves to be applied to the hobby so the results can be seen by all!).

Thanks Baz

Visiting this place does inspire!

I should some updates pics of both projects before the week is out!

Nice looking Ta 183!

Sorry to learn of your illness, last year I lost many hours of model building time because of health issues so I know what you are going through.
