UDK 38 Schenkel

Nice subtle weathering finish Bryan Perhaps tie down the stowage a bit? It kinda looks like it would slide off immediately once this beast starts stomping around the countryside

I think the neutral black base works really well with the otherworldly appearance of the....uh....thing

It was my plan this week to get some tie downs on the stowage. It supposedly moves at a stunning 8km/hr

I'm finally posting photos of the finished Schenkel. This the 1/35 Resin and White Metal kit from 2882 Modeling. Kit issue is 2012. I'm not sure how many were made but my kit box was marked 017.

I started the kit in 2019. It was a very involved build with lots of sand/primer/sand rounds, especially for the white metal parts which had some mold slip and pitted surfaces. I would work on and off on the kit between other projects so I wouldn't get overwhelmed with the complexity. For scale reference, the base is 12in x 12in.

The figures are a mix of Alpine and Panzer Art with misc. stowage. The model is a little large for my photo space so I may reshoot in the future.

That is one seriously big kit Bryan
You have done a superb job on the weathering, so realistic
I guess you will be looking for a space as big as all the 1/32 Border model Lancaster builders!
Well done

Thanks guys!

Space is at premium around here right now.

BTW - there is a 1/20 scale schenkel! An exceedingly rare and expensive kit.
