Title: Takom 1/35 21cm Morser
Post by: gedmundson on March 18, 2020, 12:45:09 PM: Hi folks, just completed the Takom 1/35 scale 21cm Morser. Added some bolt detail and a few extras around the tail end, finished with Tamiya acrylics and some oils and pastels for weathering.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks edo, yes it will be incorporated into a small vignette with some British infantry over-running the position. I’m currently finishing off the figures right now. Glad you like the camo - it was a practice run for the big Bruno rail gun project I’m also working on 🙂

Looking forward to seeing it with the figures in your diorama.

Post by: gedmundson on March 24, 2020, 07:42:02 AM: Thanks to everyone for the kind words - I finally put the finishing touches on the little diorama this afternoon. The figures are from ICM and are finished in Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics. I had to modify this posting since I'd altered the picture size on the host site.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks edo - glad you like it. The figures are ICM British Infantry in Gas Masks(1917) and I modified the equipment with some sculpting and extra straps from lead sheet.

Thanks Matt - the camo was sprayed on and I used a series of masks to through the different colours. Then all the patches got a thin line of Vallejo dark grey acrylic, which I brushed on.

Post by: lcarroll on March 29, 2020, 12:14:44 AM: Magnificent feat of modelling as always Gary, the figures are so real it's almost eerie and the detailing is exceptional. I was going to say I hope to see this one along with your last several in Edmonton in June but I suspect the Pandemic may have other plans for the event. Keep up the outstanding work and take care in these challenging times.
Cheers,
Lance

Post by: GazzaS on August 22, 2020, 06:46:55 AM: Just fantastic! Love the photo with the gas vapors. That camouflage pattern would test my brush painting skills.
Title: Re: Takom 1/35 21cm Morser
Post by: gedmundson on August 23, 2020, 04:15:56 AM: Thanks Gaz - appreciate your feedback. The camo was actually done with an airbrush, and I masked each colour as I went. The black lines had to be painted with a fine brush, though!
Cheers
Gary
