Moritz FentzahnI started this project some days ago. The assembly of the tank was quite simple. Next steps will be the further groundwork with the trench and priming the tank.

Moritz FentzahnThanks mates, you are welcome.
@ Rui
Yes the tank is oob, there is no aftermarket stuff which makes sense for me. I will only add some metal chains and Equipment from my spares-box
1 October 2017, 17:24
Rui SI agree and I've the same philosophy. But your additions are somewhat expensive, aren't they?
I look forward for new photos😎
1 October 2017, 17:30
Moritz FentzahnWhat additions do you mean, the figures? In my opinion Figures are always way too expensive but nevertheless they are essential for every dio, aren't they?😉

Rui SI was speaking only about the sandbags - flexible - 100 pcs. and PlusModel, British rucksack WW I

Moritz FentzahnAh ok, I buyed the sandbags for several projects and the bigger pack is cheaper in the end. But basically you are right, zhese additions are expensive in total

Moritz FentzahnJust finished the trench-section. After drying the base is ready for it's coat of primer. I hopeyou can enjoy the pictures

Alexander GrivonevLiked your Kübelwagen diorama and this one looks promising already...thanks for documenting the building steps!

SpanjaardI like it very much. not may dios with a WWI trench out there. and you are making it from scratch. it looks really good already!

Michael KraftWhoa, that's superb! I love how you made the wooden construction look functional, yet improvised!

Sven SchönyanLooks great so far! I´m following with interest to get inspiration for an own dio like this 🙂

Moritz FentzahnThanks a lot mates.
Meanwhile I primed the base and the tank. The trench and the tracks got their first color coat. I am trying to paint the tank this evening, so maybe I can add some pics later

Fabian D.Off to a promising start already 👍
What's your opinion on the sandbags? Worth it?
7 October 2017, 17:25
Moritz FentzahnThanks Fabian. And no, the sandbags don't worth the effort to get them in shape especially in relation to their price. This was the first and last try with them. Next time I will use magic sculp and make them on my own. So in my opinion: Hands off

Moritz FentzahnDanke
The Basic paintjob is done, next will be the painting of the details and applying the Decals

Moritz FentzahnAfter more than one yea, I took the Whippet from the shelve and started the weathering. The basic work is nearly done. One side and some overall final touches are still missing. I am sure, the next update will nottake another year...

Moritz FentzahnThank you mates, much appreciated. I hope to finish the Weathering tomorrow, so I can work on the Diorama. Cheers

Moritz FentzahnThank you Stefan.
I could spent some more hours on the Whippet, so the tank is finished now. Next I have to finish the base and some equipment for the storage boxes and the trench
26 December 2018, 21:59
Moritz FentzahnThe tank is fixed on it´s base now and the groundwork is finished. Only some more equipment and stuff to paint, before I can go on with the figures.

Michael KraftVery impressive, Moritz. As usual. I think it's not a good idea for the tank to proceed in this direction...
30 December 2018, 08:21
Moritz FentzahnThank you mates, most appreciated.
@ Michael Sehen wir uns Ende März in Lingen?
30 December 2018, 10:45
Michael KraftMoritz, ich muss mal schauen. Leider kollidiert das mit dem Geburtstag meiner Tochter. Vielleicht können wir das mit einem Familienausflug verbinden.

Tom ...I think it's brilliant. Maybe someday I could do one third as well as this. But I understand that the modeler is his/her own toughest critic!
