Bob's build A Dragon Flakpanzer 38(t) September 14th, All Finished!!

I will build the Flakpanzer 38(t), Dragon kit, with some photo-etch, scratch parts and after-market tracks. It will be built as a panzerwreck so I can use it later in my current diorama, Logistics.

That was a good idea Laura! You remind me of Radar in the TV series M*A*S*H*. You are always one thought ahead of everybody!

Bob , you will have to get her one of those little caps .

Jenny

If anyone has any photos of a flakpanzer that has been destroyed and BURNED, please post them. At the moment, that is all I need to begin work on the extremely little and lethal build,

Bob

I have started as of March 11th. The build is almost ready for paint. Lots of damage and lots of aftermarket. I will post photos of prior to painting in the next 2-3 days. I really like the way it is going, I'll see if you guys do.

Bob

Bob-
Now you've given me something to look foward to! I've been looking foward to seeing a KOd'd flakpanzer from you. If you like the way it looks, I'm sure it must be good.
Hurry up and start uploading!!!

Shaggy

Bob, we sit right here and wait.

another masterpiece in the making
im sure of that

Well, here are the subassemblies for the Little but Lethal build. This will be built as a completed destroyed, burned out vehicle. That is the reason for so many parts yet assembled at base coat time. As there will be much rubble and parts that have been blown off, I will try to figure a way to display it finished for the build.
Before base coat

After base coat


This will also be used in my new diorama, Logistics!

Bob

Wow Bob , there is some work in all that ! I really like the gun itself , looks like a real work of art !

Hmmmm you have two drivers seats ???? & two sets of idlers too . Hmmmmm

Jenny

cool work bob! very cool! all those loose parts must have been sheer madness to paint!

Thanks Jenny and Laura,

Yeah, the gun is also gonna be fun to weather!!!!!!!! I'm joking! I usually paint almost all parts even if I am not going to use them, especially if they are duplicate parts, you never know when you are gonna mess up something. I have some good ideas on the burned out effects and processes, so I am looking forward to this, the Mercedes and Searchlight and the PZ IVJ.

All three will be built as wrecks.

Bob

I really look forward to this build, Bob!
Especially the "good ideas on the burned out effects" you mentioned.

Regards
Noel

Thanks again, Noel,

As I mentioned before, don't raise your expectations. I THINK I can do it, we'll see. One thing is for sure, I be cramming on "Panzerwrecks", and some of Mig's books!

Well that's not a contradiction at all! Hah!

Matt

Great work Bob It seems to be a difficult kit to assemble, with a lot of PE's , isn't true ?
I look forward to whethering process...

Cheers
Massimo

Thanks Matt and Massimo,

I have some photographing to do and then, Monday I will start finishing the flakpanzer. Actually, I am looking forward to it because it is something I have never attempted, at least not on this scale, before!

I have my fingers crossed!

Bob

I gotta say, you have a very interesting build technique Dad...

I'm excited to see what you have to show us Bob. I know it's gonna be good.
