G'day guy's.
After many months of threatening to finish of the Mammut and it's dio base,I think I can now
call it all done,thanks to a few weeks of holidays and lots of spare time to clear away a few
old projects.I hope you all like the results,I for one are pleased with how it all turned out.
As always all comments and suggestions greatfully recieved.
Now to finish the Tamiya GB Stuh dio and then off to start a new project.
Regards to all.
Alan.











I hope every body gets the joke....Cheers!

Alan,

The Mammut is one of the twelve models of the year to me undoubtedly. In my honest opinion everything on this escene is done very well, the model, the building, the scene layout accesories and figures. Well me and many others have been following your work for years but this year you are aniling all your works (read Firefly, Mammut, Stug, Tilly, etc...). You are one true quarter scale master amigo.

All my respects and admiration to you for your originality, hard work and excellent output.

The King Lives.... on the corner of a German town

Hi Alan, congratulations on completing the project. It has been great to follow and the whole thing is jam packed with stuff to look at.

Love the vehicle and very very impressed with the way you dealt with the building

Bravo Ohhhhhhhhh

Best

Paul

G'day Paul.
Maybe I should have put folding arm man in a white suit...... now that would have been a bit
too silly....even for me.
Cheers to you mate.
Alan.

I love the elegance of the whole scene, and I dunno about everyone else, but I dont think a dio is complete with out leaves on it.

Whom makes the building or is it scratchbuilt?
I am in the process of doing some for my GB build now, and am using some Slaters Plastikard for the brick/stone patterns.But I like that building so if it's a kit I want it.

Jon

G'day Jon.
Thanks for the kind words, as for the building, it's scrachbuilt using "Wills" railway
plastic sheet. The bricks are slightly underscale for 1/48 but IMO still quite useable,I think your eye see's bricks and mortar and your brain adjusts sizes to suit. The tile roof sections and the cobblestone sections scale up nicely. I think they are a UK product you should be able to
google up a supplier near you. As for the other details the footpath is from Verlimden,the gutters
downpipes,sills,barges,infills,door runner and support is all Evergreen plastics. And the door
is from the Tamiya road sign set.
Regards.
Alan.

For me the most fantastic vignette of the year!!! Everything fits perfect together. I love esp. the building. Top job!
Cheers

Luke

G'day Luke.
Thanks for the encouragement,it's much appreciated,but you won't hear me chant aussie,aussie,aussie;)......I just feel so humbled,not to mention a little stunned to
the reaction of my "Mammut".
Thanks again mate.
Alan.

Love this especially the leaves on the ledge. Awesome.

G'day Phillip

Great subject and setting - lovely stuff all round. Can't get over the tarpaulins myself. Cheers, Ralph.

G'day Ralph.
Thanks for your recognition and kind words.As for the tarps......just the oooold kleenex facial tissue trick.Cut to size,painted with heavily thinned Tamiya XF49 and while still wet,stippled
lightly with XF51,and while still damp drapped over the subject and pushed and prodded into
a pleasing shape then left to dry. What you see Ralph is the final result, no further touch up
or added colour required!
Cheers mate!
Alan.

Seriously, the background setting is just a beautiful piece of work, and it is the perfcect setting for your Mammut! At this rate I am having to go back to collecting Pokémon cards

Just beautiful man,

Konrad

G'day Konrad,
