Hi All

Last saturday at the UK tank museum was Tiger day when they let the Tiger 1 tank out into the arena with some other tanks for a drive around.

Hi Norman

White metal kits are not that different to resin except that they dont break as easily when you drop them. I shall be interested to see with what you come up with for this vehicle.

Ian

Thanks Ralf and Norman you give me more credit than I deserve. I only wish there were more 1/87 planes to work on as I think I am coming to the end of what can be brought at this moment in time, I suppose I shall have to go back to the submarine until Thomas brings out his new plane and helicopter. ...

Thanks Jens - no problem with you amending the picture, I shall try to remember for any future attached photos

Hallo Alle I was getting a bit bored with my dock so I decided to make a quick conversion of 2 Busch Me109s which I brought cheap at the weekend and make them into a zwilling, which actually was a lot simpler than I thought it might be. You can see all the pictures at http://www.photobox.co.uk/album...

Hi Norman

Beautiful modelling as always. Is the interior visible at or does the top come off the model for people to see inside?

Ian

Hallo Alle
Here is the final set up of the band. 24 figures was quite enough to paint!!!

Thanks Ralf and Norman I had thought of various ideas for a background but being cheap I just painted on the clouds to a blue background. The dockside is just supposed to give a background to the future U boat project and so I was not to bothered about it being very realistic but I might change it i...

Thanks Jens

Yes the plan is for them to be there at the leaving and Return of the U Boot/S Boot and KriegsfischKutter and anything else that makes an appearance ( any excuse for a tune )

Hallo Alle After trying to find a suitable wehrmacht band I came to the conclusion that I would have to join 2 different Preiser sets together to get what I was after. So far I have made 12 members of the band and plan for maybe another 12 to complete it ( budget cutbacks in war time Germany ) http:...

Hi Peter

Beautifully detailed work as always - you must have some very steady hands and great eyesight !
A pleasure to view.

Ian

Looking really good so far Ralf, cannot wait to see them all finished.

Ian

Does anybody know if Preiser made a band (musikkorp) for the WW2 era, I was sure I had seen one a while ago but cannot seem to find any mention of it on the web.
Hope some one can help put my mind at ease.

Ian

Hi Ralf

You have made a really nice diorama there, I always like seeing the models in a scene that tells a little story rather than just sat on a plain background and you have certainly managed to create a wonderful one here.
Well done.

Ian
