Sturmboot
A build I finished a couple of weeks ago. Dragon´s German Sturmboot in 1/35. Painted in Vallejo Air and some oils for simulating wood. Weathering done with oils. Added thin wrapping paper around the side bumpers to make them slightly textured. Also glued a few loops on the free boards for the carrying rope.
6 additional images. Click to enlarge.
I'm sure this is a deceptively simple model, but the detail work, paint work and weathering all make it a stand-out example of your modeling skill! Very nice.
Thanks, Greg. Yes, it´s quite simple but the more fun painting it. Sometimes you need a between-build project to keep you in motion.
Stellan, I've never seen one! Marvelous!
You may be right, not sure I´ve seen it built before. Thank you!
Neat!
Yep, thanks, Martin!
Very cool indeed !
Sure is, different if nothing else.
That looks like one heckuva trollin' motor...lol !
Haha, bet it is!
Now that's unusual. very nice!
Thank you, Robert.
Smashing !
Glad you like it, Phil.
Great work!
Just one little remark: The ropes inside the boat don't match the rest. They look too new and too stiff for me.
Thanks, Hans. I´ll have a look at it. The ropes are the same as on the outside. Tried to bend and wax them etc but I guess they have returned to the original bends. Many ropes are quite stiff at the beginning and I have seen many "unrealistic" ropes on real boats that would make modelers scream. I think ropes were replaced before any important landing or action in order not to jeopardize it by accidents.
Very nice build !
Thanks, Bernd!
Perfect!
Thanks, Mr Ristits, very kind of you!
