Really nice work there! You did a great job on building them and the camo turned out so well. All they need now is a small diorama.

Very cool, I love the diesel-punk look! 

And the low-slung design, I don't know the story of the game but it looks almost like the Germans had copied some of the Soviet tanks coming online at the very end of the war like the T-44 and T-54 and built their own version.

OK except for the painting.... it is done

it has a few "quirks" I did not foresee.....

even though I "test fitted" the parts over and over again

but it is done.....

I will put it on ebay either later today, or tomorrow.

but here it is :)

Oh, that's cool looking! Looking forward to seeing what sort of camo you're going to slap on this bad boy.

OK I still have a little ways to go....

But I think it will be done by the end of the Weekend :)

anyway I have taken the parts I have and test fitted them onto the hull.

I will then do a final inspection of the hull before molding :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well this is where I am for now :)

OK....I have taken a Long Break from this.....

I think I am finally getting back into the swing of things.

I sourced out the parts I needed, gathered them together

and finally got it to all fit together (for one side).....

This is how it looks

 

 

 

This one side alone was an "All Day" project.....

so it's Break Time

the more I handled the turret,

the more the chances grew that I would somehow screw it up,

or drop it, or something.

so I molded it and cast it in resin to be used throughout the final building of the model.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

back to work :)

yep... and now I just finished adding the "detail" to the hatches.

OK, a few people have said they cannot grasp the size of the pieces I am working on.

Does this help?

I have now worked out my "wheel spacing" for the running gear.

seeing as this was such a pain to do One (1) time.....

I will mold this and cast resin to make two sets.

Then I will have what I need for the Left and the Right sides.

Now that explains it. It is a nice looking vehicle, the hull reminds me of the E-10, E-25 tank destroyers.
 

 
Yes......Great Minds think alike.
I look at this and " I " see a big E-10  (with a turret)

Very cool and a heck of a scratch-building job. Thought the turret at first was off some SF/futuristic tank though!

 

 

 
Truth to tell ......it is.....
it is from the Computer game "Panzer Front"

Lol, there's so many German paper panzers floating around out there I didn't even think about looking it up!

 

 
If you  look it up....
you would find quite a few "scratch builds" out there in 1/35, 
and maybe a couple in 1/16.

the only "official" kit in 1/35 was done by a company called "Wave"
and there are two versions done in 1/144
They might be both done by a company called "B-Club"
but there are differences between the finished kits.
