      Hi everyone,
      I´ve been planning on making some kind of 3D diorama (actually I´ve been into scale modeling and scratchbuilding since I was a boy and the principles look very similar, except that I don't have to wait for the glue to dry 😄 )
      Anyway, It started with a 3D model of a 88 mm Flak, based on the exhibits at the military museum of Montjuic in Barcelona and Naval Museum of the nation in the town of Tigre, Argentina.
      I am making very slow progress, but I thought I could share this with you, hoping for some feedback/advice.
      I´d like to thank James Tainton from planetArmor for providing extensive image database.
      Here are some test renders. Thanks for watching.

            I don't think the slow progress is a bad thing if this is the result. That is absolutely stunning. You might show some SU output if possible?

            Great stuff!

              Here you go - I should have done this earlier. 8.70 Mb so far.

                      Thanks, Eric!
                      I was kinda reluctant to post it having in mind all those "WIP" issues 😄
                      I´m glad you like it!

                                Looks great. I salute you for your attention to detail and your perseverance.
                                Now that's a big gun.
                                You probably have already analyzed it for unwanted internal faces. If not, removing these can knock some pounds off that file.

                                EDIT add comment: Even the chains show your level of attention.

                                cranked this out in a couple of hours, eh?

                                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                  @ tfdesign, Viztecture, chloesdad, Ken28875 and mitcorb - thank you, guys!
                                  I´m not really sure if all those bolts, screws and nuts were necessary, but since they´re already there, I´ll try to reduce the segment count.

                                    This is very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your diorama.

                                    Do you miss the fumes from the glue? 😆

                                      Alot of fine detail... just the way i like it! 😄
                                      actually the 8.70Mb file size isnt alot because one of my models (King Tiger) takes 28.4Mb and its not even finished... but i'm waiting to see the fully finished model! 😄
