Greetings from Germany

Post by Crazy Kraut » Tue Jun 09, 2009 2:21 pm

Hi there,
first of all i want to introduce myself here in this fantastic forum.
I´m an enthusiastic collector of 1:18 scale military modells from Germany. I would really like to show some of my customs here but I fear somebody has to explain in easy english how to get my pics in here.
Hope my english is not too bad and looking forward to get in contact with some of you brilliant customers.
Sven :D

My work

Post by Crazy Kraut » Wed Jun 10, 2009 3:51 am

My customs are tanks, vehicles, motorcycles and airbrush jobs on planes.
Did an german captured Lightning, several Me109 and Fw190 and the Me262 (yellow 1) from Luftwaffe-Ace Walter Schuck. I know this friendly old guy personell and it is amazing to listen to his stories. Hope I get the thing with the pics fast solved.
I´m building on a real big diorama (approx. 6 metres long) for all my tanks, vehicles and figures and above there are Me109, Me262, Fw190 and maybe some of the captured planes (I want them all and fear a little bit of running out of space. Especially when the Mosi is coming)
best regards
Sven

Hello Sven,

Welcome aboard. I got my nephew to help me out posting pics. I wrote down every word as he was walking me through it. The first 20 pics were hard to do . After that it got real easy now I do not use the directions. Believe me if I can do it you can do it :wink:

I can't wait to see your collection. :D

Hope this work.
first some planes. I built a battery with switch and electro motor in some German planes to give the propellor some rotation. Hope you can see it at the pics. I even have done it onetime at a Stuka but this was a hard piece of work.
Pickelhaube if you still got your nephwes describition please send it to me. I always do the same if i try something new at the PC.
AND YES I do have the Panzer IV but I´ve changed it a little bit :wink:
And i think I need another because I would really like to do a Wirbelwind. Who is this guy again whitch sells all the needed parts ??
Hope you enjoy and like the pics

Hello Sven, glad to help :wink:

You have a fantastic collection ! I realy love your repaint ! Do you made your own decals ? How did you build you Dornier ?

If you want a wirblwind kit, you have to contact Pickelhaube. It's our "I made your dream come true" guy. He's very friendly and is a very good guy.

Very nice work!!!! Your winter diorama is very cool, I see you've used a Golden Compass figure next to the Me-109. 8)
Is the flak gun the 1;16th one from Verlinden?
I think you're going to get more than a few questions on Your Dornier 335, it looks great! Nice to have You aboard!
