Hi Erwin,

That truck, and the diorama have come together as a whole brilliantly.

Love the worn look of the truck, and the tarpaulin is excellent.

Not surprised that you're proud of it, you seem to be able to make outstanding builds in a fraction of the time it takes me, .

Where do you put them all, and is Mrs. Golikell careful when dusting them, ?

Have really enjoyed following this build.

Cheers, ,

G



Cheers Gareth, your compliment is really appreciated.
I have had many questions and positive feedbackon Facebook about the tarp too, so I gues that I must have done something right. And that by pure logic!

Well, since it was part of a GB, that ends this month, I did not have that much time to complete it. Having said that, my wife has complained about me most of the time sitting at the dining table, building this... Since the pressure is off, I guess I have to let building down a bit.

Currently, the dios are on top and next to eachother (No fear, nothing will be damaged like this) in my work room/computer room.



I'll have to dust myself...

This brings me to my next project (already started while waiting on my trick to arrive): It will be at least a metre long, containing a couple of railwagons, a locomotive (maybe 2), an Opel Maultier and Mórser Karl (with it's carriers). I have yet to figure out where to place this...

Hi Erwin,

Wish you hadn't mentioned you doing the dusting...have a scary image of you in a french maids outfit, .

Looking forward to your next build, it sounds intriguing...maybe I'll get one finished before you've finished your third one, .

Cheers, ,

Well, we do have a plumeau! 😉

The plan is still forming in my mind, so the outcome isn't cast in iron

Actually that would be number 4... 😜

Thanks, I feel flattered...
I was a nice build and got to fine tune my skills on a couple of techniques, but gettin rewarded for the hard work is extra nice...

Well, I already have an idea ready. A South African Ratel 90 with 2 figures in a Namibian Bush settings. The kit is in my stash only needing the figs and scenic stuff...
