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.

Well this is finally done......
it comes with a choice of two guns,
and can be built with either an MG34 or IR system.
it is now on ebay so if you are interested one you can find it there, or you can contact me directly :)

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 :)
Please tell me what you think :)
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 :)
Many Thanks.....
Just to get your attention....
here are the tracks molded and cast in resin.....
this is the "first pull" from the new mold.
I will be back in a few min with some more pic's :)
some pretty amazing work you got going on there Ninja. Excellent work!!
Ahh, good to see you again, I was wondering the other day if you were coming back to update us. Happy to see you still moving along!
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

It's getting closer to being done,
I hope to post an Update soon :)
OK......things are getting closer now :)
I am so itching to finish this one :)
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 :)
Gamera Neat! I figured she was small at 1/72nd scale but still wow!

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 decided to tackle the front hatches
I decided that I want to follow the example set by ESCI on their Tiger II I want these two parts So I shallow poured one of my molds, sand it thin, and surgically removed these sections I then grafted them to my hatch plate. in order for the hatches to sit "flat", I took my dremel tool and grinded away one corner on each hatch ( I should note here also that I added a piece f .010 sheet styrene to the top of the hatches to keep them from falling in all the time) from underneath you can see how well the fit next I needed the pegs to act as "pivots" for the hatches. and here is how they look inplace I hope these com out ok when I mold them

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.
That is some cool work on a something I have never seen before.

BishNow that explains it. It is a nice looking vehicle, the hull reminds me of the E-10, E-25 tank destroyers.
Ninja-Viking Gamera 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"

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