Happy?  HAPPY??  From the pics you posted, I'd say you should be more than happy.  For your first dio, I'd say that is darn fine.

One comment and one question:

First, the comment - I think the muzzle cover has a lanyard that is intended to allow it to dangle when the gun is in action (then again, as I think it through, a few shots would probably snap that lanyard off, so... Confused)

And the question - do you have any more close up photos of the Krupp?

Really nice work, Bob.  Well done.

Your first dio, wow, that is very very nice. Theres only one comment i would make. Not sure if its intentional or not and it is only a petty point. You have SS troops in an army truck. I guess it wouldn't be impossable, but thats the one thing that stands out for me.

Awsome work, look forward to your aircraft.

Hey Bob!

Your first diomara looks great! Yes I haven't built one yet and I am sure it won't be as nice as yours!  Your first diomara will always be remembered... just like your first girlfriend. Big Smile

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Very nicely done M1. If I can say one thing,the area immediately behind the gun seems a bit untrampled so to speak.Hobnail boots must be a little rough on the turf one would think. Just my humble opinion my friend,as I said ,very nicely done!!!YesYesCool

Turned out really nice Bob! I'm lovin' it but I have to agree, the area behind the gun needs to be roughed up a bit. Those guns were quite heavy IWI and even on hard ground, there'd be some wheel tracks etc there.

 

 

Thanks,
