Das Werks Borgward IV PzJg. "Wanze"
Since I have a nice new hobbyroom I decided to start a new build a few months ago. One of the most difficult part of thye hobby is deciding what to build. I choose this kit because it did not have any PE but I do have a update resin set from Blast models and some Master club tracks.
Some minor surgery required.

Re: Das Werks Borgward IV PzJg. "Wanze"
Off course I will be building a base. I bought a Proxxon foam cutter and let me tell you, this thing is so much fun. I cant believe I did not buy one sooner. Did I mention how much fun this thing is.
A small frame from Hobby Lobby and some blue foam. We will see how this goes.
First attempt building a window that is round at the top.
Thanks for looking

Looks like great fun and and interesting kit too Shawn.
The blue board was a pain to sculpt, I believe.
It looks like you did beat it into to shape eventually.
Have fun with the figures

You are correct Steve. I had a hard time with the blue foam, but it looks really good with the primer on it.

The base is going to be spectacular Shawn. I'm interested in your experience of using the foam. Was it difficult?

This specific foam was not easy to work with. It was very spongy and difficult / time consuming to work with. Its just insulation foam available at the local hardware store.Vincent Power wrote: ↑31 Mar 2022, 10:26 The base is going to be spectacular Shawn. I'm interested in your experience of using the foam.
