This is something different for me as I usually build in 1-350 scale. I hope you enjoy.

Great to see you post a pic of it Mark! I've seen it in the flesh and it's an excellent build!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:. Make sure you post pics again once you've got your BR52 pulling it.....have you started it yet or are you still working on your 1/200 Bismarck?

Chris.:)

Hi Chris. Good to hear from you. Have'nt started the 52 as yet. I am still working on the Bismarck as well as the Perry class frigate and the 48 scale Jagdpanther. Will start posting some pics of the 200 Bismarck Shortly...Cheers mate...Mark:wave:

Nicely done - I really like your weathering.

This is one of my favorite kits - You are inspiring me to pull one out and get to work on it. :cool:

Awesome kit and great work; what a monster, a kit so big you had to photograph it in segments, like a panorama!

Thanks for the kind comments Gents. The kit is actually 1-72 Scale. The Dragon and Trumpeter kits are 1-35 scale. they would not even fit in the frame if I had them. They are the HUGE ones....

Looks good!Here isc my 1/72 scale Hasegawa Siege Mortar "Thor" http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee54/philo426/2007_0912Spock0263.jpg

Beautiful job on the karl. I am thinking of getting one of those myself. After seeing your pic, i think i'm going to get it....Cheers Mark

It is a great kit!

beautiful!

Thanks buddy.......:wave:Cheers Mark

Cool models. Really like the Leopold, I am gonna build the same thing but from HobbyBoss.
And the Karl-Gerat is great also, where did you buy the Karl? It's not on Hannants, hobbyEasy, LuckyModel, NordLandModels don't sell it. So where did you buy it?

I bought it years ago from Squadron!

Thanks for the comments Gents. I actually went out and bought the Morser. If mine ends up like yours, i will be a happy Man.....Cheers Mark

Yes the cammo really came out well!

Looks great Mark, as usual. A bit different for you since if you put it in water it WILL sink. Summer here and I haven't been in the model room for several weeks (or months) but looking at your Leopold made me head downstairs and get the dust of my 1/35th. Got to get back down there and finish up the paint. Again great build.

Philo426, sweet. I got that sitting on the self to -- so much to build so little time to do it.

Thanks for your comments Dave. I would love to see your finished......Cheers Mark

How would you like to tackle this monster? http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee54/philo426/2008_0131Spock0123.jpg

awsome job to both of you...the cammo looks great, and i just love the rust/weathering on leopold!!!

Both models are very cool, are you also gonna do the 1/72 Dora from HobbyBoss or the 1/144 Dora from Fujimi & Metal Troops Creation?

Both models are very cool, are you also gonna do the 1/72 Dora 800cm rail-gun from HobbyBoss or the 1/144 from Fujimi?

THe Dora is a serious Monster!One guy on FSM bought the 1/35 kit version for 700 bucks and it makes my huge 1/35 Leopold look small!

Thanks Gents. I just saw that Trumpy have released the Dora in 72nd Scale so I might have to pick one of these Kits up....Cheers Mark

Trumpeter doesnt do the Dora its Copy Boss. Seems to be half way decent and in some respets better than the 1/35 Soar Art kit which is a botch job. In 1/35th the Dragon Leopold is not half bad and its a fair bit simpler than the very very complex Trumpeter kit. Trumpeter's kit is better but Dragon's is not bad and builds much quicker if you don't want a bazillion parts to mess with . Trumpeter's Karl Morser kits are also quite nice and vastly better than Dragon's toylike kit.

Are you gonna do a diorama with that Leopold? If yes, post some pics.
