Nebelwerfer 42 Finished Pics

I saw your original WIP thread and I saw just how complicated that thing really is. To put it simply.

Beautiful

Absolutely stunning.

 Chris how many hours do you figure the build took to finish? Did you apply a filter on this deserving little gem? You know a pinwash would really set off all the detail and make it pop out! Just a suggestion.

This is simply gorgeous--the amount of detail is unreal! 

One thing I would ask though is, what is with the silver/gray coloring on the ends of the barrels? I would use a pastel blackening of the ends there, to show the blowback from the rockets, which was considerable. The silvery-gray looks a little weird to me.

This is really an awesome kit though--you should make a little vignette of it! 

Thanks guys.

I am planning on some sort of vignette for it sometime, just read to move on to other things for now. 

I don't know how much time I have in it, I would guess though over 75 hours easy. It would take an hour or more just put on one row of rivets.

I did do a little bit of a wash, but I was keeping it pretty basic for the review photos. Soon as I get some black pigments I'll be going back over the barrel ends, did'nt have anything close to black so I tried graphite. Which while did not give the right look for this did have a look for some worn metal on other stuff though. 

That is one GREAT looking Nebelwerfer!!!

Just wondering, you gonna do figures to go along with it??

Simlpy superb, please do it a base soon, personally I would be afraid of something so delicate getting damaged. Again superb Model.

   Lizardqing what a great looking piece!

   I remmember building a Nebelwefer kit years ago but I've forgotten who the manuf. was anybody know the one I'm talking about?

 With my fat fingers and toes I have to put things on bases just to assemble them without breaking them. Even the big things like AFVs.

 That is fine work. If you do decide to base it, please post a couple of shots. 

 Best Regards,

Thanks again guys.

 A base is a sure thing. Just got to get a piece of wood the right size first. 

LizardQink may be remembering the Italeri issue, I think from the mid-1970s.  It seemed very detailed in its time!

Here's a link to the kit:  http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/910_1_1000190.html

The packaging was a little different back then.

Sorry, I must have missed the beginning of this build somewhere. Is this the Italeri kit that people seem to refer it too? If so, it looks quite nice, though I do agree with Doog on washes.

For what it's worth, I heard and read that the Ivans were equally afraid of the nebelwerfer as the Germans were of the Katyusha launchers. They knew what was attacking them just from the noise alone! Scared the jeebies out of them.

That was the one I saw Brumbles. Night and day compaired to the Lion Roar one.

 Eric here is the build up of the Lion Roar one

 I'll be doing more of a wash soon hopefully, going to try a new product out on it when I get it.
