1/72 "Cat & Mouse" - PzKpfw VIII MAUS (Dragon)

Thanks Mike It's nice to know you guys like, even the Braille scale is often omitted.

I should add that the eighth picture could easily pass for 1/35 scale

Wow, awesome scheme! I like the detail on those figures, great job!

Thanks Terry :)

Amazingly realistic, well done.

Terry.

Thank you Bill    I'm quite happy to know that braille scale can surprise you

Making resin copy is a good call.

Good luck with Triebflugel!

Nice little scene and the urban camo on the Maus really makes it stand out. Hard to believe it's 1/72!

I did wounder about the turret, my E-25 has one that looks the same. Maybe i can make a resin copy.

I know what you mean, i am about to paint my Triebflugel and am going with something a bit different.

The small top turret I added on myself :) I took it from E-25 kit, and fit with Flakvierling barrel...

Making paper panzers is fun, since no one will tell you that your color or camo is wrong

Thats nice. I like the little turret on top. Is that a part of the kit, because i don't think the Dragon 35th one has that.

I hope to be doing a paper panzer next year, maybe an E-25, as i really want to get one built.

Well, if you like Panzerwaffe 46, I have one more for you - E-100, which is here:

I'm really happy you like my idea for this project.

Cheers

makes sense, and a nice change from the normal 3 colours. I am a big fan of paper panzers and Luft 46 builds. I always find it tricky coming up with schemes and colours that are different but not to fanciful. I still like them to have a touch of realisim. You have really pulled it off in my book.

Always glad to help. I used grey to make it more like urban camo type.

Thanks very much for that. Thats going to be a lot of fun on a 35th kit. What was the thinking on useing Grey.

You can see the whole masking & painting process on my blog:

Who doesn't like crazy ideas. I have been thinking about a digital type scheme for one of my paper panzers. I assume there was lots of masking involved.

Thank you guys. It's good to know you like my crazy ideas :)

Very nice little build. I agree with Eric, that camo scheme is great. Thanks for shareing.

That's pretty cool MrDyzio. I love that camo scheme. Very creative. Nice little vignette.
