Hi all,
I’ve posted a picture in the gallery, can anyone tell me what these things are, they look like wheel chucks and I’ve seen them on many NVA vehicles so A) what are they? B) Are they available in 1/35 scale?

Can I also take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and hopefully prosperous 2013.

Funny this comes up so soon after my thread. I've got measurements of the 1/1 chocks as well as 1/35 converted measurments if you'd like them. I'll just have to dig them out since my chock project is on hold.

Here's what I've got, all measurements were pulled from an old German eBay auction. The 1/1 measurements are 40cm long by 24cm high by 15cm at its tallest point. The hardest part trying to scratch these chocks is getting the angled parts right since I've not come across numbers for them. The 1/35 measurements work out to be about 11.4x6.8x4.2mm.
