Is the turret close to the size of a Panzer II or am I hallucinating? Probably the latter. Big Smile [:D]

Nice diorama! Um...what's that li'l dinky tank behind the E-100? Wink [;)]

I like the IR stuff. I wanted to add it to mine, but I couldn't find a kit to steal it from. I had a go at scratching a set (thought it would be easy!), but didn't like the results I got.

I wish I could see the texturing in the pix! It's probably my failing monitor's problem more than your photography.
Looking back, that's the main thing I wish I'd have done to mine. Texturing really does add a whole new level of realism to an armor model.

Glad to see another great E-100 in the club!

I'd keep the driver IR Ron. Lot of info says the German intended their IR systems to eventually include the driver, and it looks good to boot. You could even pop one on for the gunner!

I didn't figure my E was worthy either, but they accepted it! Give it a shot.
There is an online submission explanation on the ML site.
Good luck!

Hi J-Hulk,

I may have missed it in the posts but what colors did you use when you built your E?

Thanks!

Howdy, 64condors! Smile [:)]

The main colors I used were Tamiya enamel Medium Gray and Tamiya acrylic NATO Black, in varying shades. The weathering and whatnot kinda grayed out the whole thing in the end, which I liked. A final overall dusting of Tamiya acrylic Buff evened out the finish, too.

Are you working on an E-100, too? If so, let's see some pix! Big Smile [:D]

Thundergod, any luck with ML? Could you find that submission page I was talking about?

Hi J-Hulk,

Thanks for the information on your color scheme for the E-100 Big Smile [:D]

Currently I'm doing some research on the E-100 for a future build (next year) in a different scale.

Thanks again!

i got a question about the E-100. Was the armour inpenitrable? if not what type of gun, tank, etc could have been able to take it out? probaly not anything the allies had.

i got a 1/144 e-100, thinking of a dio, going to wait unitl someone comes out with a 1/144 tank OTHER THAN GERMAN. not sure what colors to paint mine either.

Since it never made it to the battlefield, we'll never know for sure!

But we can guess:
No! Nothing anyone had at the time could have penetrated that armor. It was just too thick. That's why the beast would have weighed over 150 tons. I don't have the numbers in front of me right now, but I believe even the side and rear armor was of sufficient thickness to repel anything the allies had, even at close range.

Looking forward to seeing your 1/144 build and 64condor's build!

I have both the DML Maus, and E-100 . I like both kits , plus they give me a chance to modify these vehicles , and paint them , how I please .Who know's how these vehicles , would have looked ,if the war had continued . The same goes for DML's Kugelblitz , these " could of been " , panzers , give me alot of " Artistic Liscence" ." Imagine an E-100 , with IR gear ! Then add some infantry , with IR devices , on their MP44's.
