Hi Again, decided a few months back to tackle the dragon wagon. Kinda happy with it although still needs some detailing. Bought two baily bridge kits, some verlinden buildings and this is what Im up to. Lots to be done, but I am the man of the forever unfinished project!

Thanks, the bridge is a combo of 2 Bronco kits. I didnt use the plastic wood decking. I decided to replace the decking and the catwalks with real wood. Also used some Grandt line bolts for detail in the wood on the roadbed.

In the second pic from the bottom, it looks like a German is sneaking up behind the Dragon Wagon.

Good job so far. Are you planning on having any bridge crew assisting in guiding this big guy across?

Bob,
Looking good. I have a Dragon Wagon also that I want to build. How is the kit to build? Keep up the good work.

Shaping up well, except for the anachronistic collar on the dog. Dangly things like the one hanging down from his neck weren't added to collars until post-war, plus there is no documented evidence of Alsatians having eyes in that shade of green.

That's quite aside from the fact that he is clearly WAAAAY out of scale. You'd have done better to use the Alsatian from the Tamiya "German Officers At Field Briefing" figure set. That would have given you a true-to-scale animal to pose alongside the vehicle.

Other than that - great effort!

Ola Bob

I have looked over these pictures a couple of times and it actually is a pretty neat project and you have put in a lot of different techniques. And it looks all nice and well balanced. Are you going to add something on the back of that trailer? Also I actually like the idea of scott of having a bridge crew guiding the huge beast over the bridge. With a dio this size you have a lot of possibilities. Even more vehicles like it is part of a column. Infantry walking along the bridge and roadside. Sure it is a hell of a lot of work but it should be an awesome result. Then again. It is your project and looking at what you have already it will look good anyway.
