Well Done! Restarted 2/22/15

You guys are just too nice!  Cheers!

This week I've tackled coloring the stowage- and a few more things.  Take the wheel, Wendy!

AWESOME work! Simply amazing..

WOW!  That PE stencil really worked great.  I have fallen in love with your little car... that girl can wait. 

Chuck

Once again I have learned something about how with a little patience-dedication-talent-perseverance and helpful Wehrmacht assistants  you've achieved  another master piece

of course the smelly trolls  ARE another issue, altogether

Beautiful work, absolutely stunning.

Thanks, Fellas!   It's been a rough week- we lost Dynamite to pneumonia- it was so hard to let her go.   I've been sick for a whole week now with a virus and ear infections- sucky!  I've been getting lots of bench time, though- take a look.

I am so sorry to hear about Dynamite.  It is never easy loosing a man's best friend. 

I love reading your WIPs... hope you are feeling much better now.  Looking forward to your next update especially the base. 

i am deeply sorry to hear such a bad news. i really love the way your diorama is going!!

Chuck

You have my deepest condolences for the loss of Dynamite. I am sure he was a great, trusty and loyal friend who will be missed.

As always, your work and your threads are top-notch. Incredibly detailed, great photos, and a story to boot... with a little cutie to show us the way! I say it every time, but I cannot wait to see more!

I am so sorry to hear about Dynamite. Its one of the hardest things we have to ever go through.

I really like your groundwork composition. Its really coming together nicely with lots of interesting angles and slopes. Thanks too for showing us how you work up the colour variations on the cobble stones and bricks.

I don't use a laser level on my dios.... I'm old-school and use a small spirit level!

Outstanding work!

(Just hugged my dawgs)

The build is SUPER!!!   A+

I sympathise with your loss,,,,   my sincere condolences (recently had to put down my female yellow lab),, but her brother is still with us.

Bill

Thanks, guys- your kindness is so very much appreciated.  Dyna was a special dog indeed, and she'll always be with us.   My wife, although heartbroken, is being very brave, and it looks like we'll be getting a new pup sometime soon.  It's not to replace that loveable pooch- it's just that we need a dog in our lives- and will give one as good a home as we can.    Cheers!

As for the models- again, thanks!   The base is a nice change of pace- and it's just getting started!  These are base colors- I'll be modifying them-and the well- with washe and filters and whatever else I can throw at them.  I've been sent references and will be using them to get a nice, French feel to it all. 

Til then-

references?!?!?

what did you do ? go out and get a buttered croissant,  a  vin de la journée  and

a new beret?

nevermind......

Oh, Steve!  :D

I did this work last weekend but only now have had a chance to write it up.  This little honey has been keeping us busy- she's Andromeda, Andi or Annie) for short.   Pfennig's ego has bloated while I've been paying attention to the new pup- I'll let him call the game this week. 

WOW!!  nice

and the puppy too, 'suppose she'll be leaving impressions about the house---NO Not that - Teeth - geesh

Fantastic work!  Really, very well done.  

Nice use of the flesh and white "dust" wash (I use raw umber and white myself). A lot of people miss this this and only apply dark washes. I think you have been staring at the ground too long!

Congrats with the new addition to your family!  The whole thing is starting to look too real... if you could take it outside you could easily have us fooled. 

Looking forward to your next update!

Hello Andromeda so glad to meet you and as usual another great lesson, Thanks !

Hey Chuk

Things have been kind of quiet in here for a while. (yeah been busy myself too)

Just had to add a post to at least keep the cricket chirps down.  

Ask and ye shall receive!  ;D

Thanks, guys- I haven't forgotten this project.  Between the puppy, work, my Ju388 and traveling, I've been busy!  Besides, Wendy was getting bored!

Stick around ? Yes I Will !

How DO you DO that??!!

That is an impressive pile of stuff in the sidecar. Hard to believe that it would all stay in place riding over cobblestones. The details are great and the bike is looking good. Keep it going.

Chuk

I ran across the motorcycle kit at my local hobby shop and picked it up.  It is everything you have said.  Quite detailed and fiddly.  You're workmanship is wonderful!  Lots of great ideas!

The Ju 388 build is coming along quite nicely as well.

That stuff in the sidecar will look terrific when it's all painted and weathered.

By the way, how is the new puppy?

Very nice!! Of course I'll stck around.

Outstanding work, Chuck--that stone work and dio setting is just terrific!

Outstanding work, Chuck--that stone work and dio setting is just terrific!

I was thinking the exact same thing.  I can never get my cobble stones to look that good
