Agreed. Hope you have an 88 to take it out!

As always, very nice PP.

Stuart is to normal detail, and Zis truck is done to fine detail. Truck has a manned AA Gun, ammo belt boxes, ammo cans, camo netting (enough to cover entire vehicle) rolled up with poles, dented fenders and door, fuel can, shovel with straps, and spent ammo in the rear deck.

@ABWorsham:

Very nice!

––I Agree!

“Tall Paul”

Nice

@panzerpainter:

This Marder has:

8 Hand ground shells, made from brass. My own resin cast fuel cans and spare tracks. Metal barrel with 3-piece heat-shrink tubing muzzle break. Paper utility racks on each side of superstructure. Spade shovel made from paper and brass. Flat-nosed shovel. Antannae made from fine brass wire. Radio. 2 crew. Folded-down rear gate. Tarp. Tent roll.

Very nice!

Many extra scratchbuilt or original resin cast parts added. Additional views can be seen if you scroll to the right.

All 4 of the weapons that appeared on this churchill. Done with swappable barrels. Extra goodies like a field-mounted US MG (scarfed from a halftrack, you can see part of the ring mount), antannaes, and crew stuff like tarps, tent, etc. AAM “V2” mini comes with battle damage also, and wear from crew.

The last striped Panthers I did were sprayed-on stripes. These are brushed-on stripes.

Thank you. I still make plenty of models, I just have to spend less time posting them. I have way too many irons in the fire, but I wish I had time to post all the stuff I do. A lot of it, I paint, let dry, then pack and ship, thinking later “oops, I didnt scan it”.  :(

This is a complete diorama, and the 88 flak comes off for use all by itself. Crew are positioned so the gun (which swivels) can rotate without hitting any. The front shield comes off, for use as the “other” flak. Thier is also a high velocity crucible mount 88mm AT gun which will mount on this very same base. This high velocity 88 is part of another order, and isnt completed yet.
  Scrb brushes (3) are on the base, and made with camel hair. Resin cast ammo crates and ammunition are present. But no empty shell cases, as this crew has just set up. One crewman is pulling the camo netting down to be set up. Note that many of the crewman have had weapons and excessive packs removed, since heavy gun crews left such things on thier vehicle. One man has had his jacket trimmed down and now looks to be wearing just his white undershirt. One man has a panzershriek modified into a rangefinder.

To go with my “V1.5” (1:110 scale) Muas (and soon to be E-100s) is this turret. It is completely interchangeable between Maus and E-100s, like all turrets I make for these.

The wire mesh was added late in the war. It detonates panzerfaust and similar weapons inches from the main armor. This also serves well to stick camo in.

Here is one of my 1:110 scale Maus tanks next to a newer “V2” sclae (1:100) King Tiger. Its made to be right in between the oder AAM tanks, and the newer ones. It looks fine with each scale.
  These range in price from $40 (simpler 1-color), most about $60, but some up to $80 (with many extra features and ambush camo).
  Currently, I have only sand colored maus with the side cables in stock right now. Those can be all sand, or have camo added, or even the ambush camo. I can make any configuration you want (even unpainted tanks that you finish yourself), but it may require a month or two wait, since Im low on resin right now. But a sand based maus, with at least a few features, I could supply right away.
  I have unpainted, white-plastic flak turrets all made up, but just not painted. I can have one of those ready at a moments notice. Those are $25 to $35, depending on if it is to have the complicated ambush camo or not.

I dont remove the paint underneath. I apply a light coat of primer and paint over it.

Here is the T-28’s adversary, or maybe “victim”:
