Bombed factory project (1 Viewer)

[Alexdakar]

I forgot to put the website its scenicexpress.com. The one I have is more of a very thin rod then a wire. I think the Woodland Scenics one might cut faster but is less flexible in tight areas.

Here is a pic of the bomb factory dio. I post some more later.

Great job Alex what a nice looking display!

Have you finished your new room with the custom built display?

How about a picture or two?

Alex, Splendid job! You have recreated the scene from the old Squadron Waffen SS book on the back cover. Excellent!

I did. Cool!

 

[Fubar]

Yes, You Did!That you didnt know it is even better!
That books been around for years, and the 2 King/Country SS with the Panzerfausts appear to be sculpted and modeled directly from the illustration.Different camo perhaps .
You've done better than the illustration by enhancing the scene, but at least the 2 poses , the corner ruin and a T34 coming down the street look just like the old image.
Leadmen will confirm wont ya John.

1/2 right as usual. I hunted through my old books. The Illustration is from Panzergrenadiers by Squadron Publications. KC sculpted and painted them as SS. But they certainly were based off that picture. Enough BS,You're Diorama is splendid.
Where do you keep them all?

They are everywhere thats why I'm trying to get my builtin done. Hey John here is what I have so far on the custom display. Its the base with storage for all those K&C and other boxes. Now I need the shelving, lights, glass, doors, and staining but I've been turned down by three carpentars because I'm wanting to much in design so I'm redesigning again. So thats the hold up and oh yeah money.

 

[Njja]

Well it looks great so far, did you build the base yourself?

If you did, you should take a crack at the entire project because it would

seem you could do it. You can purchase furniture grade hardwoods at Home

Depot in the lumber department. It is nowhere the expence a carpenter would

quote you. I believe a 4X8 sheet of furniture grade oak or birch or aspen goes

for about $48. I had a friend that had custom cabinets ordered for a large den

for about $28,000 with an additional 6,000 installiation charge. Certainly more

then I would ever spend. Another fellow I knew hired a fellow to to his entire

den with built in cabinets and a coffer ceiling he spent about $12,000.

I am watching your project because I entend to do the same thing when I

return to N.J.

Please keep us posted on your progress!

I designed and helped out the carpentar. I did buy the 4x8 oak sheets from Home Depot for $40 but the mouldings had to be from specialty lumber shop. I'll post pics when its done.
