Alec KLooking great Stefan 👍. How do you make the windows and door cut-outs?
28 November 2018, 22:44
Stefan SchachtHallo Alec, here are some pictures of the tools I used for the cut-outs and I try to explain: First I scratch the shape with a vernier caliper and a scalpel. Then I drill a hole and saw out the window with a fretsaw. After that, I have filed the windows to the right size. Cheers Stefan
29 November 2018, 22:14
Alec KThanks for the explanation and pics Stefan. Very clean and precise work indeed 👍

Daniel KlinkA i see you use the magic green stuff too... Iam stillwaiting for mine to arrive.
Good progress and i love the base 👍 Very clean work with the building there. 👍
1 December 2018, 22:58
Stefan SchachtThanks Daniel, yes since I can´t get the Tamiya putty I use the green stuff in combination with the Mr. surfacer500 to get the same result. Cheers Stefan

Cesar MunizFantastic progress so far! this diorama base is going to be Great!
2 December 2018, 11:38
Spanjaard@Stefan, you can get Tamiya putty from Japan without much trouble. Via eBay for example
2 December 2018, 20:32
Stefan SchachtThank you mates for your kind words and interest. Today the carpenter has installed the doors 🙂
@Spannjard: I keep the tip in mind, but in the moment I have enough of the green stuff.
Cheers Stefan

MAC FELSINGStefan, I really like the way your pictures tell the story of the build. Very well thought out and creative. It looks great.
9 December 2018, 14:39
Stefan SchachtHallo mates, here are the next pictures, step by step. I painted the inside black and the roof is glued. The back of the roof is still too big, because I can handle the part better. Cheers Stefan
11 December 2018, 21:36
Stefan SchachtThanks Christian and Łukasz for your kind words. Here is the next update. I built the chimneys and glued on the gutter. Also I continued to build on the Spitfire. I sanded and engraved it. Cheers Stefan
17 December 2018, 16:32
Stefan SchachtHi mates, here are a few new pictures. I start to build the figures for the diorama and use the RAF pilots and groundcrew from Revell. I will rebuild two of them because they are sitting on chairs. Cheers Stefan
21 December 2018, 20:15
Stefan SchachtThanks Mac. Today, the carpenter did his job and built the table and chairs 🙂. Cheers Stefan

Daniel KlinkWow stefan lets talk about your furniture in 72 in WD.
I thin i will order some 🙂 Fantastic job mate 👍
22 December 2018, 21:48
Stefan SchachtThank you mates for your kind words.
@Daniel: It is a pleasure to meet you in WD and also to talk about your projects.
@Dirk: After our discussion yesterday, I think a slightly larger base is better.
@Mac: Yes, at the moment I have the patience to build something like that 🙂
Cheers Stefan
23 December 2018, 09:25
Stefan SchachtHallo mates, here is a little update. I have applied some filler and sanded. Now I start to create the windows with clear plastic-sheet. Cheers Stefan
24 December 2018, 13:38
Daniel KlinkWow! Absolutely admireable skills Stefan.
Got tons of evergreen in my stash but in my hands it is worthless 🙁
24 December 2018, 13:48
Stefan SchachtThx Daniel, luckily I had some good teachers in the past who showed me how to work with metal and wood. Maybe I can show you a few basics in WD. Cheers Stefan
24 December 2018, 20:16
Stefan SchachtHallo mates, here are the next pictures. I attached the last details to the flight-office and I have built a new slightly larger base. The spitfire is ready to paint. For a final check I fix the landing gear and exhaust with colorstop. The next step is to mask and clean everything for painting. Cheers Stefan
28 December 2018, 21:00

1 January 2019, 20:21
Stefan SchachtHallo German Modeler, für das Haus habe ich Polystyrolplatten verwendet. Nur statt der "kleinen" Evergreenplatten verwende ich größere Platten aus dem Architekturbedarf.

David JanuskaStefan it looks amazing. I don't know what I like more, Spitfire is perfect but the building is unbelievable👍.
11 January 2019, 12:40
Stefan SchachtThanks Alexander and David, I'm glad you like it and thx for your very kind comment. Today I continued the work at the base. First I painted the concrete with the airbrush gray, then I washed the area with black and brown acrylic paint. After that I drybrushed the surface with oil paints and applied the and the joints painted with a pencil. Next I used up pigments as earth. Cheers Stefan
13 January 2019, 00:36
MAC FELSINGI really like the way it i all coming together and going from "material" to "model". Keep up the good work. This is a GREAT project.
13 January 2019, 19:21
Stefan SchachtThanks Mac, for the motivation 🙂. Today I washed the concrete again with oil paint and airbrushed the flight-office in a lighter green, because I try to make the next step only when I'm satisfied with the last one. Now I continue with the detail painting of the flight-office. Cheers Stefan
14 January 2019, 21:56

2 February 2019, 00:05
Stefan SchachtThx Christian, here are the next pictures. The first attempt did not work 🙁. So I did not mask the windows individually in the second try. I cut the tape in strips and painted the frames in two steps. Now you can see the result of the third attempt 🙂. Cheers Stefan
5 February 2019, 21:40
Stefan SchachtHi mates, today most of the work at the flight-office is done 🙂. Now go on with the Spitfire. Cheers Stefan

Andy BallSuper subject Stefan. Over here in Blighty I'm building the same 'fix Spit (latest tool) and 1980's tool to compare. How was the wing to fuselage assembly?, any issues?
