Hi guys
The other half of the 1/72 Norwegian WWII commission, using NicolasRC’s from Cults3D’s lovely Norwegian figures, bases just have a simple base coat and will be decorated by the customer. This isn’t the full range of poses, just the poses the customer wanted.
Hi guys
Part 1 of the 4D puzzles 1/72 Sdkfz 7 build, as previously suspected, from everything I can tell, this is actually a mislabeled Sdkfz 8, which is how I am proceeding with the project, for those wanting to build a display quality model of an sdkfz 8, I would go with the trumpeters version, however for war gamers or those not to concerned with an overly detailed model, then the price of this one makes it a good option.
There’s probably a lot I could do to improve the look of this model, I’d probably start by 3D printing replacement running gear, but I’m going to build it as is and add a bit of detail to improve it.
Interestingly this model snaps together, which is quite handy, because you can build it, then decide what you are going to replace, easily remove the part and work on it, so far, I have replaced to headlights, added the guide rods on the front fenders, pined the tracks into a more realistic slag, re shaped the stowage cage, filled a couple of holes and added stowage and crew. Then washed the model, I’ll let it dry over night and undercoat it. The one part I have left off so far is the dash and windscreen, I’m tossing up whether to model it up with the clear part or model it folded down with a cover. I have to say, despite the initial confusion caused by the mislabeling, it builds into a cheap but decent sdkfz 8.
Hi guys
WWII Fallschirmjägers for Norway finished on commission, the files were from NicolasRC, on cults3D and supplied by the customer, there are many 3D sculptors supplying files for figures these days, some are poor, and some of them quite good, and in my opinion these figures are up there with the best, not only are they well sculpted, but their proportions and posses are very natural, I have a few personal Fallschirmjäger projects planned, and have been collecting metal and plastic figs for these, however in light of how good these figures are, I have decided I will use these figures for a planned 1940 Fallschirmjäger project, and use the metal figures for late war. I also have a winter Fallschirmjäger project already started using converted plastic figures (I’ll add a couple of pics at the bottom of this thread for reference) I have checked NicholasRCs site, whilst I don’t have a Norwegian project planned, he has some lovely looking Kriegsmarine files I’m interested in and some of the French maybe usable in my 1940 French army, I’m going to keep an eye out for future releases, I also painted some Norwegians for the same project, and will share their pics in the next thread.
