Schwerer Gustav update #1
It’s here. The mighty Hobby Boss Railway gun Dora 1/72 scale kit and it’s a massive box! An early indication that there’s some repetitive work here… If you don’t like sanding wheels, this isn’t the kit for you! …and more “wheels”! 35 + 75, and then you have to make another three… ?!? Should last me a few hours for sure! Every sprue is wrapped in protective foam and plastic...
Schwerer Gustav railway gun
Yes, I’ve gone and done it. I’ve bought the Hobby Boss Dora #82911 1/72 railway gun and it’s going to be built as the Schwerer Gustav. I’ve been looking at this model, and the 1/35 scale version, since the beginning of the summer almost every day. The 1/35 scale version is just too big, and possibly also too expensive, to build and put somewhere, but in 1/72 scale it’s a whole different thing. It’s...
Entwicklungs-fahrzeug Sammlung #1
I’ve finally sourced the E-5 and it’s the Amusing Hobby 35B001, which is a bonus tank in some bundles – and hard to find I can add… There was no chance in hell to buy it on its own so I had to buy another Amusing Hobby 35A015 kit to get the E-5, and it turned out to be the most expensive kit in the whole project, despite being the smallest… Oh well, that’s modelling for you. I will add the E-50...
Entwicklungs-fahrzeug Sammlung
Background This is the bonkers of all bonkers projects – the Entwicklungsfahrzeug Sammlung; a complete lineup of all E-series tanks and variants in 1/35 scale!!! But all these tanks are fictional so how, why and what to base it on then? Well, there have been more than a few pure fictional E-tanks throughout the years stemming from computer games, images and fictional scratch building. I’m going to base...
E-100 Triplets
Like the title says – this is a triplet build with the three different 1/35 E-100 variants from Amusing Hobby and they’re going to be built in stages. The first E-100 (Panzer) is already built and is waiting for paint whereas the Flakzwilling is built as a GB next year. The Jagdpanzer will be built when the Flakzwilling is done. The plan is to paint all three of them at the same time since they’re all going to be...
AA gun Group Build 2018
Starting January 1:st I’m joining an AA gun group build over at the modelling forum on www.scale-models.co.uk I joined this group build before hatching the idea for the E-100 triplets (Panzer, Jagdpanzer and Flakpanzer) so this GB is going to be the 2:nd part in the 3 tank build. (The E-100 Panzer is already started and is just about to receive its first coat of paint any day now…) The chosen AA gun for the GB is the...
