Nice work. I've been wanting to do a studio scale version of the Hoth turret. Nice use of the tank cupola (sic).
 
thanks, of course i`m not done i have to scribe more lines and maybe put some figures on it and more greeblies and weather it with some black soot and rust and maybe some oil and grease runs.
I used a childrens cup from Outback steakhouse and the cupola and gun barrel from a tiger 1 and the muzzel from the droid tank and a machine gun from a t72 and the tube for the cupola came from a push up pop and various springs and such from other sources.
 
Hey, Stipp. We'll miss you in Ma.K land, but glad I can keep up with your projects here.

Hey Paul, yeah its a shame but hey its in the past. if you frequently visit here in the next couple of months i will be doing a cc x-wing and a tie advanced(i hope) and my SMT y-wing and randy coopers consular ship and a SSD 1/2 scale. and a bunch more stuff.
so... stay tuned same bat channel same bat time.
 
Yeah, it was. I di have fun and i had a bunch of referece material to work with, and this one differs slightly to the one in the sketchbook, becuase the greelies werent specific.
I just may do another one sometime.
 
Just for a point of reference, is that the same cupola and hatch cover as used on the training remote?

If it came from a 1/35 tiger 1 late model then thats it. :D

Well, I just checked Frank C's training remote site. Those parts are from a 1/48 Panther Type G. But I'll be damned if those parts don't look exactly alike.

Thanks and awseome build up :thumbsup

I think that looks great, can I ask what you used to make the snow ?

Thanks

Sure can. First i used wadded news paper and then laid down some plaster cloth and let it dry, then i mixed up some Modge podge and some white acrylic paint to cover the holes and smooth out the plaster cloth and then sprinkled woodland senics snow on while the paste and paint mixture was wet. :D
