News from the workshop.

Hi
I'm going back to my workshop.
My absence from the blog, was due to personal problems.
As well as problems with the internet and computer.
I hope you still want to look here?

Building - next part

Almost finished the first building.
Still missing

floor
roof
window
gutter

the next step

Currently, it presents the first of two buildings on the diorama.
I finished the first wall, I will add also a few little things that slightly affect the appearance, so that the wall was not too flat.
In preparation are the windows and shutters.

Buildings

The first of the buildings, will be slightly lower, already has been shortened.
Here is the course of previous work on the building.

Checkpoint 1:35 March 1944/45 (working title)

The promised photos from the workshop.
As you can see a lot of changes have taken place since the last time as I showed diorama.
Currently, all the time I deal with buildings, I want them done a little faster.

Message from the workshop

I hasten to inform you that work on the diorama are not suspended.
I had to look again at the project from a different perspective.
Tomorrow will be photos of the dioramas where significant changes have, then the time will come for a further phase of change.
But this is only at a later time...
This time I'm going to have a systematic complement to my blog entries.

Now back to the project!

Break the project and return!

I needed a break from the project. I needed a fresh mind to continue, further work on the diorama.
I went back to the project last weekend.
What can I say?

- dismantled the fence
- i'm doing two buildings
- getting ready figures
- two vehicles - Kubelwagen and motor
- Opel is in continuous development phase, partly painted
- other additives also prepared

I will see some pictures.

Cheers!
Luke

Message from the workshop

I had no free time lately.
To sit on the project and move on. All of the project is well.
Probably on Tuesday, I'll update the image. I can not promise anything...

But in the diorama will be further changes.

I greet all visitors to my blog.

Opel Blitz next act - front suspension

The delay in the project, became a nightmare in my dream.
Over the last few days, nothing constructive has not made in the implementation of the diorama.
Damn I'm angry at myself.
The front suspension which, in recent weeks had been destroyed.
Returns to its normal appearance, by the somewhat small modifications.

Opel Blitz next act - finished engine

I've finished upgrading the engine from Opel.
So it now looks. I'm taking up for his painting.

Still struggling with the front suspension. I am on track to have it completely done.

Opel Blitz next act - message

The front suspension Opel began to crack.
I am forced to create them from scratch.
Ok, back to work on Opel!

The Pacific - miniseries.

I started to watch this miniseries.

Already I like it! I have some ideas for dioramas ;)

Opel Blitz next act 7

Opel has already mounted springs and wheels. Adds the missing cables.

Another struggles with Opel.
Changes in cabin:

I decided I wanted to make a door opening:

A piece of wire and plastic and photo-etched plate from a Hummer and we have opened the door :)

Chassis, already equipped with rear suspension. And I begin to put different types of wiring.

Opel Blitz next act 5

To the chassis added a few elements.

Additional rear light.

 I added a fuel line to tank.

Finished work to the inside of the cab Opel. Today I begin to paint the cab.

Only thing missing is the steering wheel, I have to do it a little modification ;)

Missing a few trinkets, which are prepared.
I will be able to mount the engine to the chassis.
