Hi to all.

While I'm planning my last model, I'm making this little Alby's model. I have choosen an easy transformation seeing a picture in internet. All comments are welcome.




Best regards.

@PedroA – Pedro,

Now what kind of an ugly Frankinstienish (it this a word or what? ) looking vehicle are you putting together?

You sure come up with some really interesting small obscure vehicles to render. Even without it being completed or painted yet you’ve inspired my enough, so now I’m seriously thinking on obtaining the Ace version of this kit for towing a Pak 40 for the Panzer '46 army.

yet another weird one !! Really love these, they'd go well as post-war civilian vehicles -- coal-delivery anyone ?

Yes, it is a rare and ugly vehicle but for this, I'm interested in it. I'm not sure if this vehicles was a WWII or a post-civilian tractor.

Thanks and best regards.

Pedro

A new step. The model is ready to put the running gear.




Best regards.

Pedro, Sure looks like it's steam driven, yet with the half track type drive train, it could be something that was built as a one of a kind truck during the war.

Cool vehicle. Very obscure topic. Shows the ingenuity of fuel deprived force determined to continue fighting. Bill

That is a very interesting topic. I'm sure many were constructed in various petrol starved parts of Europe both during and after the war.
There was a farmer near where I grew up years ago, who had a 1926 Model T Ford truck set up to burn wood. The works were in the bed of the truck. The engine was unmodifed except for large gas pipe.
I wonder if anyone has ever built a model of one before...?

@PedroA – Pedro,

Good progress. I like the lines leading to and away from the round can in front of the vehicle. What material and process did you use for creating the round shift knob at the end of the transmission shifter?

I too don’t know that much about these vehicles. I did read somewhere that the Germans used this type of propulsion system on their vehicles during WWII but these were relegated for use behind the front lines.

Thanks very much. The model ready to paint.

Eddy, the shift knob at the end of the transmission shifter was made using white glue.



Best regards.

Well, finally I have finished the model but with some new modifications. Here the model with the ACE's Pak 41.

Hi Pedro,

That is so nice, it is a wonderfully finished model. I really like the weathering, it adds a great deal to the overall finish of the two items. Well done, another great build by yourself. What's next?

All the best,

Paul

that is a cool build,wierd but cool,nice work.

@pedroA – Pedro,

Such an unusual combination to see together but it works for me, simply beautiful work! I am a huge fan of dirt on vehicles and you have a knack for dispensing just the right amount, especially on the running gear and lower portions of the vehicles you render, this one being another excellent and exquisite example.

What I find most fascinating about your P107 are the front wheels, unlike any I have ever seen before on any German WWII soft skin vehicles, they are quit eye-catching. The charcoal colored wood burning equipment (me thinks?) on the vehicle adds a good splash of color to the overall panzer gray ensemble.

Thanks again for posting and sharing your work here, looking forward to seeing more . . .

Fabulous results as always, Pedro. Your work always gives me a goal to aspire to!

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Pedro,

As always nice work. In your works I especially enjoy the color balanced overall result.

Very nice, P.A.
