Bronco 1/35 Panzer II Ausf D1 Polish Campaign

[Coen]

Well it's finished.
I wasn't sure that I was going to finish it this weekend and I was right.
Not even close.
The dio is a little crappier than I had expected it to be.
But I rushed it a bit and that's what happens eh?

So here's some stills, and a video to close things off.

Wow! Another masterpiece Coen ! It's a real eye-opener. Very well done mate .

[coladito1]

Nicely done!

[Schoof]

Great work !!

[Paul]

Ha ha brilliant mike, love the "WTF" soldier and the dust trails. Panzer looks great too buddy

[Radzy]

Holy smokes!
That's a masterpiece Coen! Great work, buddy.

One question: this panzer, was it cleared for take off? Because it seems not to be properly configured for it you know, turret is not in the most efficient aerodinamic position

Cheers,
Radek

[JayCub]

As the other guys have said Mike another great build and a pleasure watching it come together, just awesome love the dust trails.

[Coen]

Thanks Gents haha.
It's funny... I hate the dust trails haha. I couldn't think of another way to do them.
Just dirty cotton balls with bits of rocks stuck in them. I didn't even glue them down in case I decided to remove them later.
My own worst critic I guess.
I'm glad you like it.

I know that my German is terrible Hollywood. Haha. I can swear in it.. that's about it.
Hamilkar gets a kick out of my horrible German.
I hope I didn't insult anyone's Grandmother!!!!

[Coen]

Crap.. you're right... I remember where I heard that from now... It was a silly spoof and a fella was speaking German badly, he was counting and he kept saying schwein instread of Zwei haha...
Jeez... I've been doing that for years... I even knew that Schwein was pig. haha.

[alextheblue]

Is it a bird, is it a plane - nah, it's a Panzer 2!!

Another masterpiece, absolutely love it!!

Brilliant composition, very funny and love the dust trails - utter genius!

[fly1ngdutchm4n]

Wow! I like it Cöen!

That thank coming over the railway is brilliant
And I like the soldier. He had a bit of a"busted" look on his face.
I wonder what he was doing. ...

And I like your German. Always good for a smile on my face. Now try Dutch for a chance!

[wappynutter]

WOW.....
Love the diorama Mike, just brilliant...
The Tank itself is superb, but I never expected anything less from a master modeller..
Nicely done figure and the speech bubble says it all!
Well done mate.... Top marks from me..

Excellent..

[Coen]

Haha... Thanks Fellas!

Ik wou dat ik Nederlands kon spreken Frans.
Sommige van mijn voorouders komen uit Nederland.
Ik kan niet eens vloeken in het Nederlands .... nog haha.

Thanks Alex... maybe I should have painted a big yellow "S" on the turret haha.

Hollywood, Ich habe sogar mich selbst ausgetrickst, wie gut kann ich Deutsch sprechen, haha
Ich bin so voller Scheiße, dass meine Augen braun geworden.

Andy.... Thanks Mate... Thanks!!!

[fly1ngdutchm4n]

Haha... Thanks Fellas!

Ik wou dat ik Nederlands kon spreken Frans.
Sommige van mijn voorouders komen uit Nederland.
Ik kan niet eens vloeken in het Nederlands ...nog...

Godver..... totally forgot you have Dutch ancestors. .....

[HamilkarBarkas]

Holy...Toledo! thats an awesome diorama, very dynamic and fun i like it very much! it really looks like the tank is going to jump a big distance.

[Coen]

Haha thanks Michael.

[Coen]

Haha... No my friend I'm just very good at using Google Translate.
Sometimes it works well... other times it's complete crap.

[Tiger131]

superb work on your build enjoyed watching you go through the motions on the tube..and you have done it justice with this quality dio and love the little touch with the figure

[Coen]

Thanks Tiger!
Yeah he was part of the surprise ending. Haha

[Lee]

That's excellent mate! Love the comedy value, just what the Doctor ordered

[DC87]

Stunning Mike, I bet this dio really stands out on your shelf despite it's small size due to the action in the tank.

This is both an entry and a tribute to the SiG due to the humour, really like the speech bubble idea

Well done for coming up with an entertaining diorama- too often they can be reflective pieces with a dark/ unsettling mood.

[Coen]

Thanks Dan, that was pretty much where I was going with it.


Lee thanks Dude...
You good buddy?

[rm6239]

Coen

Holy Toledo that's a great result mate, I was kinda expecting Daisy Duke to be hanging out the top though.

cheers

Rossco

[Coen]

Hahaha!!
Now that would have been cool!

[Dunhill2005]

What can I say? All the others have already said everything...

Great idea with the surprised soldier!

Also the idea with the dust clouds is great

Also, I praise your courage to write something in German

[Coen]

danke mein Freund.

[Jan01]

Only one word could descibe this diorama..... WOW.

[Coen]

Only one word can explain how I feel about your comment...

Thanks

[generalgrog]

Awesome work!!

I think I'm going to steal your dust trail idea, because it's fantastic.

GG

[Coen]

You are certainly welcome to it Grog my friend.
It's just a piece of cotton wadding that I've stretched out a bit then I put it in a jar with some pigments and shook the crap out of it.
Then I put it on the diorama, added a slightly different colour of pigment here and there, a few larger particles for chunks, then called it done.
