Maus (repaint)
« on: July 27, 2020, 04:18:48 AM »

I bought this 1:100 scale Maus a while ago, mainly out of nostalgia since it was one of the first things I ever attempted (and failed) to scratch-build when I was a lad. I painted it at first in a wholly spurious splinter pattern, but I found I didn't much like that, so I repainted it.

The decals are from an old Battlefront 1:100 kit, and they're pretty crappy as far as registration goes.

It's highly unlikely that a Maus will ever turn up on my wargames table, except maybe as a trophy objective. Still, you never know.

Very nice paint job.

An amazing piece of engineering, on the one hand genius, on the other complete crap!
I’m glad the Nazi war machine put loads of effort into shite over complex designs.
It’s gives me great interest for my hobby, but thankfully lost them the war!

Paper panzers are my favourite WW2+ subject. You've done a lovely job on this one  :D
