2cm Flak auf Krupp Protze

Fabian D. Autor
an insane level of detail... best way to go insane...
I guess I have go on with the Protze... to calm down a bit 😄

Mike Kryza
Hi Fabian - I know the kit of the Flak. Nearly too much parts!!! - But you have a good start, I believe. 👍

Fabian D. Autor
I hope so... but I´m glad I have the option to switch to the Protze all the time😉

Fabian D. Autor
continued with the Flak and the Protze...
what do you think about the scatched fasteners (pic 8 )? I´m not shure if I´ll keep them...

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Hi Fabian
I think the fasteners look good, you should keep them.Here is a reference pic.Feel free to have a look.

Fabian D. Autor
Thanks Markus, I reshaped the fasteners... they look better now
I used the contacts of a flat cable of an old PC

Fabian D. Autor
2nd floor is done.... next steps: adding some more small parts to the Flak and then painting

Markus Kutsch The Plastic Bench
Great Idea with the Balsa Wood.Looks better than anything else 👍

Fabian D. Autor
And it´s so easy to handle 🙂
Finished construction and painting, startet with the weathering on the cargo-area

Fabian D. Autor
I´m done with the flak, an awesome kit 🙂

Fabian D. Autor
pics #20-22, so much Detail, even hard for the better camera to hande with it😉

Mike Kryza
Nicely done until now - but it's really a long way in building up these two kits...

Fabian D. Autor
thanks Mike, the key to this is motivaton, if i haden´t joined the AA-Campain on Armorama... 😉

Es-haq Khosravi

the Flak 38 came out really well, great job, cant wait to see the Boxer

Brent Sauer
Very nice work so far.

Matthias Weiss
Fantastic work so far mate! I have that Flak on my list, good to watch you building here.😉 Greetings from China!

Fabian D. Autor
thanks mates, I hope the Protze will also turne out that nice😢
Matthias, i can just recomend this kit, will be hard to stay calm all the time, but it´s worth it😉

Matthias Weiss
Did you add a metal barrel or use the one from the kit?

Fabian D. Autor
I just used what was in the kit, some ammo bins, mags, an extra shiled for the gunner and a trailer with the stowage box were also included

Fabian D. Autor
a litte bit frustarting to have so litte progress in such a long time...but thats normal a this stage of the procject... let´s see how far I get tonight😉
Have already pre-cut the canvas doors and suculpted the windshield cover

william wise
looking pretty good Fabian, i like what your doing to that old Tamiya Boxer really setting it apart

Wim van der Luijt
wow, that just keeps getting better....all those small bits would drive me nuts!

Hunter Cummins
Your tuly a proffessional😉 what isthe row of wood for ???

Fabian D. Autor
Thanks for ceeping me motivated 😉
@Hunter: it might just seem like I am one...but i´ve just got too much time 😉
The wooden floor is is there, cause I saw it here: [img1]
it´s the base for the Flak, resulting out of the shape of the "cargo" area which was desinged for passenger transportation and not for Flaks 😉

Hunter Cummins
I meant the wood by the truck haha not the planking that the flak is on😉
And can isteal your idea cause I want to build one now 😄

Christian Meyerhoff
For what reason ever I missed this one... Great work on the Flak and on the Krupp. Did something like this with a Henschel Truck. But anyway, very nice work!

Fabian D. Autor
@ Hunter.... got it now 😉 I´d say it´s something like a corduroy bridge, used to improve traction on mud, it was attached on the side of the truck. (this picture is my reference... forgot to post it here...)[img1]

I´m not the first one building this modificaton... feel free to copy all you want 😉

@Christian: Thanks, saw it... might also be that i belauded your work 😉
the Henschel will be the base for my next conversion... but not with a Flak ( Field kitchen scenery | Project by nng (1:35) )

Christian Meyerhoff
Great! Looking Forward to this one!

Hunter Cummins
Ok thanks fbian😉🙂 im highky looking forward to seeing this ome done 🙂

Fabian D. Autor
Progress of the weekend: canvas done, only some smaller parts and the weathering missing

Frank Krause
Nice progress, Fabian! I like what you're doing. Keep up good job. 👍

Hunter Cummins
Im in love with this vehicalhAha

Mike Kryza
Hi Fabian - the "Knüppelteppich" is really an eyecatcher!!! - Looks great. 👍

Fabian D. Autor
Done! Just in time for the deadline😉

Double thanks to Mike... Knüppelteppich was the word I was looking for all the time...

Frank Krause
👍 Congratulations, Fabian! Well done! May be the tyres could receive another shade of brown.

Fabian D. Autor
Thanks Frank... already thought about that, but i´ve the ambition to build a small base or something (but not right now😉 )... if I ever do so it´s way easier to match the colors of the ground with the second one on tires

Frank Krause
👍 Ok, understood! Woohoo, a base.. ! I'm looking forward to that!
Wish you ALL THE BEST for 2014!

Hunter Cummins
Youshould put some mud in the rims but other than tnat jts perfect 😄😄😄

Christian Lehmann
👍

Matthias Weiss
Very nice work as always, Fabian!

Fabian D. Autor
Thanks chaps...
@Frank: same back... might be that you´ll need to waint for a few years, If you want to see the finished base😉 😄

@Hunter: I´ve based my weathering on my reference pic (somewhere above in the tread) and surprisinly the vechicle seems to be quite clean

@Mathias: you´re putting pressure on me, but thanks😉

Hunter Cummins
Ahhh I see and that is very strange but hey its a real vehical😉😛

Matthias Weiss
Don´t worry Fabian, you can stand this...😉
