Thank you Gary. The 250 (with almost nothing), resulted for a kid, in a really inspiring kit for keeping the Hobby and go on to future projects.

I see what you mean Rui. It certainly is a build I will now want to do.
It looks hot and dusty Rui, beautifully done mate. 👍

Hi, Gauge1TrainsDK,
Thank you for your kind words.

I'm glad you like it.
As said it was my first one and I used plaster, pepper and a soft wood base that warped itself with the humidity.
The funny thing in the beginning was the strong smell and that you couldn't approach your nose to see the details with starting to sneeze, hehehe.
No airbrush at the time and the kubel was painted with Tamiya, also the first time I used it. (not very happy with it (now it's completely different).

Humility is NOT your strong point Rui. 🙂
This is one special diorama mate, as you have, in your first time , made a huge impression with all that is there, including the dust cover on the Mg-40. ! It makes me thirsty, as the 'heat' is there. 👍
A truly wonderful effort and result that more experienced of us try to get, time after time. 🙂
Beginners luck. ? LOL 🙂
I love it. 👍

Hi Kezza,
Thanks' again for your words. much appreciated.
Yah Mate, it was pure luck, Hehehe.
I've lot's of defects and lack of humility seems to be one of them, Lol. 🙂

Ah. !! being human is fun. LOL 🙂
Defect and all, your a bloke I would be happy to buy beers for, as often as you like. 🙂
I AM going to have a beer or two with you mate, as I am getting ready for March next year and I will definitely be in Europe for the Wangerooge meet, and a look around while I'm there.
Oh, 🙂 BTW, I just punched 70 in the face today. 🙂
I am old, but I am yet to let it effect me. hahahahahah 😉

If this was your first project in this scale, I'm curious to know what models you built before? The vehicles, particularly the half-track are very good, the stowage bits and the sheets are excellent. So you must have had a reasonable amount of experience before doing this dio.
And Kerry, Happy Birthday from me. 🙂

Hi Kezza Happy Birthday Mate, I hope, You will count many more with great health. 👍
But be careful, Mate, as said previously I love beer hehehe, and can't wait to drink some for free...
@Blaubar Thanks' for your kind words Mate, very welcome.
@gorbygould, Yes, before this I had built some UHU glue with 2 or 3, 1/600, plastic ships (if you get my drift), One Spitfire and a Zero in 1/32. (WOU That zero without paint but with the decals used to fly so much. and contrary to the real thing it was indestructible).
Then dozens of 1/72 Airfix airficraf of all kinds, this time painted with gloss enamels, and dozens of Matchebox Airfix and other brands 1/72 AFVs. Some of them in the beginning also with gloss colours and later on I discovered the matt hehehe. Oh I almost forgot a Airfix-calssic ship in 1/144, in brown plastic left without paint, a White 1999 Space Eagle, just with Black Red and Silver (again gloss), and so on and so on. So I think I got some experience before.
Oh Nostalgia...
