Post by: Over Open Sights on April 02, 2017, 04:54:44 PM

Something that might be a Skoda 15cm schwere Feldhaubitze (with Austrian crew in tropical uniform):

Those are very impressive.  They certainly give the impression of their real-world, full-scale counterparts.

These are scratch builds at approx 1/56 scale. A combination of thick white card, paper, styrene tubes, super glue, PVA, caviar beads and swearing.

Very nice. How do you do your rivets?

I use caviar beads (used in the Nail Bar industry to decorate fingernails) stuck in place with PVA then when set a small touch of super glue to hold in place. I bought a pack of these beads off eBay for a couple of quid and there are thousands of them.
