Well Done! Restarted 2/22/15

Thanks so much guys- cheers!   I'm really looking forward to painting this up- I only have to fake up a mount for the sidecar to the frame.  The set was probably designed for the Tamiya kit and doesn't quite fit- a bit skinny.  I also don't want to rebuild the leaf spring suspension (lazy-@ssed me), and will just cheat t6o location to lower the 'car.  I will bulge the tires, too- no rest for the wicked!

Again, cheers!

 eat,sleep,play,slobber- life IS good-- also  I'll bet, Adni is having fun too SEE YA

After a bit of a break, I'm back at this build.  Wendy has gotten a bit of an upgrade since last we met!

Well, Chuck - good to see you back on this one - gives me hope for my projects on hold! A very nice lookin' job here, too - congratulations! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Great build aside, I love seeing how your graphic deign work has evolved in the past years.  Very cool stuff!

I'd kinda forgotten you were building this diorama. Decided to give Pfennig a little break?

Ya HOO!      YEA   

Chucks back to this one!   Lookin'  forward to how this one progresses now.

Thanks, guys!   It feels great to get back to this- the bike is pretty much done, and so is the Kubel.  I've finally landed some freelance work, so once that's done I'll make another update- cheers!

With my freelance business ramping up I've had less time for modeling- but it's business before pleasure!   Here's a small but significant update- the Kubel is finally done!

Vun-da-bar!  mine Sonderführer of Styrene.

WOW!!  Fine work sir. Very fine work indeed!  :D

Wow!! I remember this one, I've been off the forums since 2012 so glad to see you restart this just in time for my return!! I'm looking forward to once again following the comic adventures of Pfennig and friends

Aaaaah, i remember this one!!! Chuckw - it's awesome to see this one back on the bench.  I've wondered what happened to this dio.

On a side note, i can't believe how long it's been since the last update - doesn't feel like 3.5 years to me...

Thanks, guys!  I've collected the work I've been doing on the base itself into this post- enjoy!

Chuck,

I am just loving how your combining your talent as an artist with your model building.  Its been fun seeing you develop Wendy over the years with the different animation medias.

Absolutely stunning build!

Welcome to the club of green/brown color blindness, Chuck! Seriously, coming along real nicely!

At this point, I think that I have re-read this thread four or five times since first having a peek this morning. There's a lot of great information and an incredible amount of detail to take in here! Fantastic work, Chuck - truly outstanding for many reasons!

Yeah, we all are sad when one of Chuck's magnificent projects comes just too quickly to a close.

Of course there is always this exception  

In the mean time, before the next update,  I have kept myself very busy 

MODEL ON! Chuck,..........but only when you can 

Thanks, gents- you're all too, too kind!  It's been a tough several weeks, but I think I'm getting back in the groove.  Today I'll finish the first and more complicated figure.  I've never tried the Calvin Tan/ Man Jin Kim school of painting with Vallejo, and it's been really fun.  I'll post pics soon- and in the meantime, something for today:

Well, here it is- after years of languishing on the Shelf O' Doom, the Well Diorama is complete at last.  Here I sit, a well-earned martini in hand, surveying my efforts- take a look, I hope you'll enjoy it.  :)

Chuck,

Although you started this before I joined the forums, I'm glad to see it finished. In a word, your work is amazing. I just spent some time looking at some of your other builds and they are awe-inspiring.  And your drawings of the girls make your posts even nicer

Incredible work. I'm pretty much speechless.

Really came together, love the magazine and your hand painted black and white photos! Very well done

Wow,this level of skill is why i quit lurking here,this dio is so good i makes me want to pitch all of my previous builds and start over....thanks for sharing your tricks and techniques!

Great job! Love the kitties (the cat kind).

Looking forward to your next build!
