Hello all, I have just finished my static 1/6th scale German SDKFZ 234/2 Puma armored car. The model is a battleground vehicle plastic body and features a lot of scratch built components including a working suspension, which also steers. More of my model can be seen on the following website

that is cool! looks brilliant.
you say it is static, are you going to make it radio control? would that be possable? the steering and suspention are really good.

Thanks Neil, It was an enjoyable build. The model is to stay static. When I was tooling up the suspension I didn't design it to be RC able. John

Here are some more images of the suspension

Wow, that is incredible. I noticed a Wolverine in the background of one of the pictures do you have a pictures of your other work posted somewhere?

Incredible !!! I fell of my chair when I saw this beauty. Do you have more of these fantastic projects ? If yes, can you show us some more pics ? Congrats, never seen a large scale vehicle as great as this one ! Cheers, Guy.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The tanks in the background are two US Late production M10 tank destroyers. They are being built similar to my other M10 that can be seen on the folowing website. http://www.eastcoastarmory.com/can_opener.htm

Wow! fantastic job. How long did it take to complete? ive always been a fan of these
awesome vehicles. keep up the good work regards Paul

Fantastic build! That is a very nice Puma you've got there. Where do you keep them when you're done? Do you have a large room for displaying them? Your builds look so convincing that they could easily be used as a movie props.

On average these models take me about 3 months to complete, But because I had to tool up masters this model took a little longer. I have a display area in my workshop where I store the built models, but These 1/6th scale tanks do take up a lot space.

John-- great!
