Back to my roots

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you with us.

I just Googled "German Henschel D33 communications truck interior photos" and about the 3rd or 4th one down is a complete build of the model with an interior. The builder shows all the modifications to the entire truck frame, bed, interior walls and equipment. It looks great.

Hope that this helps. Let me know how you make out.

I saw that one, it's excellent work, and another bud found this, if |I can get it to post

Let's see how imgur does here. This is a 3D printed CCKW, not the canvass, of course, but even the tires and rims are right off my printer.

Nice work! If you post this on the "Armour" section of the Forums I think there are going to be a lot of guys asking you questions about it and being able to help you with all sorts of info.

I basicly build WWI & WWII planes but I also build anything else that strikes my fancy. Here's a few.

PS - I've been building since I was 6 years old (1946). So, there's a lot more where they came from. 

Welcome back.  Nice work!

Jim I find the truck with the barrels and crates an interesting subject.

Can you tell me what it is?

Thanks!

The truck is an Italaerei Opel Blitz "S" kit #824. It came with a choice of open wood sided or canvas over frame. All the fuel drums, pumps and water/fuel cans are from an AM set. The rest of the cargo is scratch built boxes and crates. It has a motor that I wired up like I do with the cars. The hood was supposed to be non-opening, but I made it an open one to show off the engine.

An unfinished Blitz in 1/16 scale. This one is mostly metal, with plastic bed.

Th barrels, most of the jerry cans and the darker crates in this photo were all printed on my 3D printer, and I can print in any scale I want. These happen to be 1/16. The darker wodden crates are printed with a special filament that's about 30% actual wood. When they come off the printer I just clean them up a bit, hit them with a dark flory wash and they're ready for service. 

I'm sure there are threads here on 3D printing, I'll have to chek. I may be able to contribute there, as I currently print I with both fdm and sla printers so I've learned a little bit, emphasis on "little". 

Very nice work. Would be nice if I could do 3d printing. Too old to learn and a little too expensive for my blood any way.

If you get a kit with missing or broken parts, can you make your own replacements without going back to the manufacturer? I guess you have to make up a blueprint for the computer first.

The tank in the pics I sent is a 1/16 R/C Tiger. Had it for a long time. Parts started giving out so I took all the gear out, detailed it up a bit and gave it to the Berks Military History Museum in Mohnton PA. They had a 1/16 jeep and 1/2 track and were happy to get the tank.
