Trumpeter - Heuschrecke IVb "Grasshopper" 1/35 Final Reveal

Post by reelmesh »

Hello guys,

Thanks to everyone for the support. :cheers2:

Regrettably I was unable to post rest of the progress of the build, I simply lost the photos and then became utterly demotivated. :doh: :oops:

Nonetheless I feel I owe everyone that followed my build and the forum at least the final reveal photos of the finished model, I feel sad for not completing the thread as well I wished but it is what it is. :(

Here are the final reveal photos:

Well, that's it, I'll try and do better next time.

I hope you like it.

Thank you all. :cheers2:
Carlos Mendes

Thank you very much my friend, truth be said it was your words that pushed me out of the demotivation swamp I was in after losing the photos. Thank you for that mate! :) :cheers2:

Absolutely stunning Carlos, a real masterpiece. The more the look at your pictures, the more that you see, the detail is just incredible. The vehicle on its own is just jaw-dropping and added to that base - WOW!! But then you look at all the details, the chains, the drum with the bits of wood and I absolutely love the drum with fuel line attached and the patch of fuel of cobbles - work of art, sheer genius!! :th: :th: :th: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :bow:: :bow:: :bow::

Plus, I owe you an apology as I posted a comment on your build thread as I thought you had missed the deadline for this SiG - VERY glad that you made it dude!! :cheers2:
