Did someone say "diorama". No idea where you'd get the bullocks!

Thanks Steve....
Busted

after the surgery

It's the Preiser "O" scale cows, with Extreme makeover from cows to oxes.
Here's the result, next I will put a layer of primer and start the paint job.
And the plan....

Billica

Well done! Sex reasignment surgery without all the blood (or legal problems). Good luck with the diorama,it looks good already.
Cheers
Steve

Thanks Steve,
Tell me about it, no blood, no legal problems, no animal rights issues
So, finally I painted the oxes in a light color just like in the picture. Here's the result.
Billica

Oh man I feel sick, the thought of surgery like that sounds awful. That poor cow No seriously it looks really good Nicorica, great idea.
tim

Great team of oxen you've got there. Have they seen the photo? They've almost posed the same!!!
Cheers
Steve

Thanks Tim and Steve,
The positiom of the oxen is pure luck. In fact the Preiser kit was my only option. And the fact that they are in "O" scale is very good because they are a little bigger in 1/48 just like in reality where the ox is taller than a cow.
Next I will do the pavement of the plane and personnel and only after I will start the oxen harness from lead foil and chains.
And another picture called "then and now !"
Cheers,
Billica

that looks really good,excellent work

Thanks a lot Paul, You've been a really big help. How are you with your build?
Billica

Hi Billica,

Excellent work! I enjoyed watching the pictures on your blog. Thanks a lot for sharing...

Jean-Luc

Salut Jean-Luc,
And thanks for your words. Under the oil cart, in the South-East corner it will be earth and some grass, to add some green to the all the grey from the diorama. And of course the harness of the oxen will follow.
Cheers,
Bilica

Nicorici,
Very nice work on all the things you made for your diorama, and that includes your Fw 190 too!

One more photo 190 S

Thanks Matrixone and Alexey

Great build on the plane and the diorama, is this the only kit [ fuselage only ] of a fw190-s on the market!

Hi Keith,

MPM did a 1/48 scale Fw 190 S kit (48028 reviews here and here) which is unfortunately out of production now. Most parts where directly copied from the Dragon kit. Maybe it is possible to get it second hand...

Jean-Luc

Hello,
Thanks Keith,
I must agree with Jean-Luc, the MPM is out of production and very hard to find. I just got one from ebay and it was 36 USD plus shipment tax. Not cheap at all
Happy modeling,
Billica
