well it's has been a long time since iff posted here on armorama .
But i'm on my way back..

here are the results.
some info :

the figure is not completely finished.
The building structure is a complete scratch build
Does anyone has some tips for me for the setting ?
do i have to add some more ?

The planning is to add the two Dragon Gran Sasso figures.
One figure is already finished ( no pictures yet )

i love to hear your comments..

He Eric, good to see you.
I like the figure and the building they look very nice.
How did you made that shrub(struik) behind the fallschirmjäger.
Maybe you can make some overall pics from a little distance so we can see the whole dio.
Eric, agian some very nice work from you.

Greetz Rob!

Rob,

Dit IS het hele dio...
This is the whole dio


Eric

I know but can you make a picture from some distance and an other perspective so there is a little overview.(overzicht)

And can you tell me how you made the shrub(struik)?
thanks.

Greetz Rob!

Hi Eric,good to see you back with another fine bit of work,where have you been.
Arthur

Arthur ,

due to work i'ff be very busy lately.
So the modelling has been placed to a second place unfortunally.
But now that i have another partner at work i can take some more time off.
The last six months iff done nothing else but working .

Iff been close to a burn out so my boss hired someone to help me to give me some slack.

today i sat down behind my modelling table and said to my self now it is time to pick up were i was left in oktober..
And i must say today i find the peace of mind that i lost..

But no worries....
the skils are still present ...

I will finish this little project..and then i will start another one ...
What I don't know yet..but i think it will be a figure in 1:16...
I saw a nice one from Dragon ( again ). it concerns the german soldier on the horse..

so i think that wil be the next litte project..

thanks for your reply..

yours truly

Eric

demodelbouwer.... i think it should be gran sasso... instead of san grasso?

cheers.

Eric:

So far I think everything is looking really nice! I did this same figure about 2 years ago, and I must say your splinter is blowing mine away by a mile. It's a really nice figure.

As far as the setting, the operation took place at the Gran Sasso Hotel in the Italian mountains. Perhaps you've seen a picture of the Hotel, and that is what you are modeling? Are you going to be placing the Skorzeny figure with this one? I also have that figure but haven't painted it yet.

Here's a link to my feeble attempt at this figure:

Keep up the great work!

John

Eric and John, I like both of your fallschirmjäger! Also eric, the building etc look fine, good job!

What paints are you using?

Martin

John ,

The Skorzeny figure is ready finished. And yes i'ff planned to add this one to.

grtz

Eric

Martin ,

The paints i used are humbrol enamels and oils .

Most of the large parts are airbrushed.

the pants is a complete airbrush job.

Hey Eric:

Sorry, but try as I might, I can't seem to find a good picture of the hotel. The only pictures I've found show Mussolini boarding the Storch, and also him standing with Skorzeny.

Hopefully someone else might be able to help you.

Good Luck,


John

Looking good so far Eric. Great job on the camo.
