Modern - Leopard 2A5 in "Oops, fuel empty … " - DE

New diorama pictures …

Oops, fuel empty …

The 'pussycat' needs a little spout. Weather is great. So let's go! Already it goes through the woods and fields. What fun!
But what is it? The engine stuttered and then it was completely off. Fuel empty! Phew, that gives a lot of trouble …

Have fun.

Hellboy

A very nice Dio from Hellboy againg.
With so much small things to see.
The paint of the bird with the white ears is well done.

No fuel?
Or is the new software update for a green world from WV the problem.

[Susofrick]

Very nice dio and I agree with Wiking, can be the software. Is that hare smiling???

[Peter]

Wonderfull end result of this dio! Like it whole the way!

[Hellboy]

First of all thanks for the Likes! A big thank to Wiking, Susofrick and Peter for the friendly comments!

I have to apologize to you three guys, that I could not answer you sooner. The two guys and I yesterday the full day after the cause of the problem researched. We found it!

.... I agree with Wiking, can be the software.

Fuel tank still half full, no hardware and also no software problem. It was a 'underwear' problem! Unbelievable but true. A very hot string tanga was found in the tank, which clogged the fuel line. I'm really not sure if I want to know what's happening in my showcase at night?!?!?!? Better not. Life is bitter!

Is that hare smiling???

Yes, that is really a rabbit smile. I believe that is called 'gloating'! So what does a hare not see every day ...

Wonderfull end result of this dio! Like it whole the way!

The work on this diorama has been a lot of fun. To document the individual work steps has also given me much pleasure. I look at the photos of the emergence of the diorama always again gladly. I am planning this also for the coming dioramas. Of course I'm glad you like it.

Lovely work as always.

Your vehicles do seem to be wildlife friendly but I fear the commander will be on a charge when they return to barracks!

I used to think the Leopard was pretty ugly and boring for modelling ... but a good modeler can make it cute and fun.
Excellent job!

Thanks to Chris and Carlos for the other nice comments !!! I'm glad you like the pictures.

... Your vehicles do seem to be wildlife friendly but I fear the commander will be on a charge when they return to barracks!

In the forest, it is usually quite boring. A Leo is then a real attraction! The message then had spread quickly. Better than cinema! Unfortunately, there was no popcorn and no coke. It was funny nonetheless. And, exceptionally, free of charge.

I'm not quite sure if I understand your comment correctly. I can only say so much that the construction of the vehicle was very much fun.
