Tony T Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Great modelling skills, but don't like. Too morbid, unless it's part of a bigger museum exhibit used for educational purposes. And I'm not a PC kind of guy. No offence intended. Leave death for the CGI nutters. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRutman Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Here is a bit more progress from today. Added some more weathering and clear parts. Happy with the windscreen but not the windshield wipers. Too clunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Jerry, it looks awsome as it stands even if I agree about the wipers. One thing thought ... and I say that because I know you aim for "perfection" my friend: Windscreen looks awsome but I thing that in 1944, the windscreenswere made from "simple" glass so that when they break, they break into several big pièces of glass. Later, for obvious safety reasons, people put a "leef" (I do not know how it is called in E) into the glass so that when it breaks it breaks in thousands of very small pièces which is much safer for the people inside the car. Despite the striking look of it, windscreen looks to me like a "1970" windscreen mate. That's really is a small detail and once again, looks great but I thought I should tell you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I built this I looked on the internet and found that safety glass started being used in the 1930s. I also have a pic of a car like this that shows the glass shattered and not cracked. So I went with this look. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) They met their demise through schrapnel wounds. I made some resin copies of the old old Italerei horses and then modified the resin copies with the same re-positioning methods used for human figs. The harnesses are lead foil and wire. I assume this answers your question? J Yep. Skillful, Dude, skillful. Since the windshield wipers are tensioned with a spring, they would likely push into the interior without the glass there to hold them back. As it is, they look like part of a model and not your usual outstanding work. Edited October 26, 2014 by Bill Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRutman Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks again guys for your kind remarks and suggestions. I have replaced those egregious wiper blades and reduced the size of the safety glass bit,added the back seat dead guy and some paperwork,etc to the inside of the vehicle and made a few more branches. I want more branches on the front bumper,then this baby is ready for the fork. Oh yes,and the dead Oberst laying half out of the door.
