Panzer ii Destruction

[@robbo1068]

Ah...there's nothing better than reliving childhood destructive urges....always a good way to relieve the tension of work! A fine job, Glen....will be looking forward to seeing how this mangled little tank fits into the diorama.

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Robbo, i think i was more tense doing it for fear i would mess it up Spent a happy day working on the dio base, nearly have the smoke machine working properly

That particular kit was great value for money; a fine model, well posed infantry figures and readily available.

[@HalidonDioramas]

Yes it is a great little kit for sure 👍

Bonjour mon ami 😃👍Hi friend
Very good job 💪great looks
I enjoy watching your video 😎congrats buddy good morning of France 🇫🇷😃✌️

[@HalidonDioramas]

Bonjour Jean Marc, I am very glad that you enjoyed it my friend. Thank you 👍

[@lawrencereid9375]

Glen, looks GREAT! I think you have represented well what a lightly armored Panzer II might look like after receiving a double 90mm enema from a Halidonian M-26! I especially like the way the severed track run drapes down at the exit side. You have established yourself as quite the anti tank guy. Who needs a Javelin missile when you have a rat tail file and a Drexel tool to inflict lethal damage? Really cool. Well done.

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Lazza, and i have to admit i did the damage to the tracks when they were on the wrong way around, so was very lucky they when i put them on the right way around the damage actually seemed to look better that way 😝😝😝

[@stuartosborne6263]

That looks brilliant Glen, thankyou for sharing.

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Stuart, I'm very glad you enjoyed it mate 👍

[@CWModelling]

you're a brave man....I still haven't got the nuts to do this to a finished tank yet 👍

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Ian, brave/foolish basically interchangable i think 😜😜😜

[@gavinbooth]

That looks like one of my builds when i don't want anything damaged , good vid Glen . Regards Gav.

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Gav, now we all know that is not true mate!

[@stephenthorpe5206]

Excellent M8. Nice damage effects, sure this little fella will look well in the diorama - looking forward to the next vid 🍻

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Stephen, much appreciated mate 👍

[@markedwards5106]

Nice Dremel work, Glen!

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Mark, and i even managed not to drill through my fingers for once 😜😜😜

[@TINY5BB]

Great job as usual and I must say you play the piano very well ** Always entertaining Glen , thanks

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Stuart, I'm glad you enjoyed it, considering that i have 10 thunbs it wasnt too bad 😛😛😛

[@cygnusx10]

Looks great - I like the little details like the wire hanging out of the exit wound. Shep Paine used to describe doing details like that where you're just creating some visual interest to show what's going on rather than trying to make an actual replica of a Pz2 interior. Good stuff.
Whatever was shooting at that little Pz2 must have a really big gun though...

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks cygnusx10, glad you liked it, i am a big Shep Paine fan, an i think dioramas are a bit like oli paintings, get too close and they dont loog great but from the right distance all the little parts come together to make a nice overall picture. The Halidonian Dugite tank is spotring a 90mm main gun, it was a beast for its time 😜😜😜

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Very nice indeed! Love the weathering 😊👍

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thank you much appreciated, cheers 👍👍👍

[@andrewshawmodels8610]

Nice one. I really enjoyed that. When you were making the holes and melting the vinyl track I swear I could smell it! Proper seventies flash-back! 😂 I melted a lot of plastic back in the day! I've got a Pz 1 command tank with missing tracks who's fate has just been sealed. I'm looking forward to seeing this one. Cheers. 👍🍻

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Andrew, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have to admit i spent my fair share of time seeing what flame did to 1/72 Airfix figures, all in an un-ventilated room, no wonder i was crap at school, i was probably high all the time :) 😜😜😜

[@bill832]

Interesting techniques, thanks

[@ianthomson9363]

Very nice damage- it makes me want to do something along similar lines. My current project is a beaten-up Transit van- not so much damaged but more simply uncared for. Having watched your video I might try adding a few dings & dents if I feel brave enough.

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Ian, go for it mate, the great thing about damage is no one can say its not realistic, cos damage can look like anything i recon :)

[@ianthomson9363]

@@HalidonDioramas The trouble with my Transit is that I thought I'd got it finished yesterday. I think I'll save the dings & dents for a future project and get going on the dodgy builders diorama for the Transit to go on.

[@chrishorne5855]

Very cool , nicely done

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thank you Chris. Cheers 👍

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Ouch! Interesting build

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks Steve, more to come with real smoke and almost real fire 👍

[@norbertogonzalez9738]

Pegaste la puerta de la torreta al reves 😊

[@MrWojpen]

Good job Mate 👌👌👍

[@HalidonDioramas]

Thanks 👍
