"Down that Drone" diorama WIP

Your work always amazes me Charles but I am really digging this project brother- excellent work!
 
"Down that Drone" diorama WIP

First of all, Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!

Here are some updates. Added quiet a few extra details to the external empty slot. Many of the original parts had to be reused in other areas as the original points were already taken up by my other home made parts. See the pics below:

I added several different parts to the undercarriage of the craft. The flat angular piece is from a LAV kit. As you can see, I removed the original dome(anti-gravity) part that was originally there. As I explained in my very first post, I used a hand saw to remove it. I added a flat ring piece and will add another flat piece to cover the hole.

The first pic shows the gun canister or barrel(unsure), Now since I added the wheel rims, it has taken up space to where the original parts were suppose to go, according to the instructions. So I had to had a strip of styrene to cover the holes, so it would be easier to glue the piece in the same space.

Added a n old mortar canister. I thought it looked cool and fitted in just right.

I decided to experiment with another artillery to give this craft a different look than the original gun that came with the kit. I managed to find an old WWII artillery gun in my 'Misc. Box'. So I devised a mount that will make it look the part. I call this, 'The Clunk Buster'. Just remember where you heard it first. ;)

Wow! I have seen this base kit and have a few of the old original NITTO kits in my stash. You are doing a very interesting upgrade to this. A Nebelwurfer?! Coool!

Watching with interest! :popcorn

They were rocket launchers. When they launched the rockets would go screaming aloft. There were 2 types of Nebelwerfer, the Type 41 and a Type 42 The Type 42 had 5 barrels and launched larger rockets.

Here is the Type 41

I know the name would make you guys laugh :laugh: ...

I have so much stuff left over from old and leftover kits it ain't funny. Some parts go back as far as 2003. I always said it would come in handy one day. I guess I was right.
