Panzerwomble Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I read a review about this model when it came out that said , "this is so good , go out and buy half a dozen" . I 100% agree , it's a great mix of subject, detail, buildability....even the wubber twacks worked fine for me . Reckon there's a snowy Pz III for later....maybe a Kursk one.........and a ..and a .... Anyhoo , been doing "water" stuff this month , (number 2 will be along shortly ). So :- Take a Chance ? Panzer III , 18th Panzer Division , 2nd Company commander weighing up the risk of using a ford , Case Blau advance in central Russia during the summer of 1942 .

John1 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Nice. The water is especially well done, how did you create it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers - 2 part epoxy resin .....which is a whole bunch of fun to work with ....not . I've tried before only to see it all eat through the foam and disappear under the bench ...wrecking the whole thing . So was a bit of trepidation I approached this one .....went better this time . Woodland Scenics provided the "ripples" for the waves. LSP_K2 and John1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to go slow and build up layers. I've been using it to make all my water scenes of late. First real effort was this Huey/PBR brown water scene. It'll be at Nats too if your coming. -Peter Panzerwomble, John1, LSP_K2 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I'm happy to learn how to use epoxy properly as "do something different" is my modelling creed easixpedro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I'm happy to learn how to use epoxy properly as "do something different" is my modelling creed There's countless coats on the Huey scene. It was built in the midst of the great TP crises early in Covid. I'd used TP infused w/ white glue to build up the wake and recall thinking it was an 'expensive' scene because of that. Painted the base layer brown and would add a layer each day. It's easily 5-10mm thick in some places. I started using this after building a Vietnam era M48 stuck in a rice paddy. The resin never really cured properly and I was pretty perturbed at having wasted a lot of effort on building/weather some armor to muck up the works in the end. So a tip of the proverbial cap to you for continually stretching the envelope! Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I really like the appearance of the hull sides; very nice indeed. Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Very cool! Though if I were that guy, I'd send one the guys I'd dislike the most out to test how deep it's there before actually driving in the water Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Damn, Womble.... I'm sorry... I know you told me your name once. Anyway. Surprised and impressed with this panzer build! Keep up the great work. Between the U-boat and the panzer in the water you've blown my mind.

Cheers Water seems to be often a bit of "the final frontier" and yet both of these were kinda straighforward .Resin is a bit all or nothing though , if it goes wrong there is not much coming back . Guy ah ...my secrets out ! Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
