I wanted to present it once it was finished but after seeing all those nice updates from several people I like to jump in with a little sneak preview of my project.

It`s about a 37 mm PAK (PAK35) and there will be a lot of scratchbuilding involved.

This is not the latest pic I have done some more on it. So far everything is going good in one attempt so the spirit to get on on this project is very high.

I want to close this post with the Famous words :-)

Every feedback is welcome

Robert that is enough of a peek, now show us the beast all tweaked with the Faust master's touch!! Who made the Barrel? Keep us posted on the progress.

More will follow soon.. In fact I already have given a clue to where to find it you guys only have to crack it


Well I wanted a Bullethole in the barrel and since the Tamyia Barrel was massive almost for 90 percent ( only the top 4 mm Are Hollow) I had to scratchbuilt a new Barrel wich I did out of Aluminum pie lid :-)

I`m waiting on a couple of spare wheels so the project will come to a little stop to go further in the same tempo as it went as soon as the wheels are in

Thanks for the Reply

You used a piece of pie tin. I am at awes at all the neat ideas that have been coming up in the kit bashing ans scratch building from all the members here. If Animal can learn here all the people will find it easy to learn.

ola Faust,
Great built. I really dig the concept of before and after. Very original.

Yes I used the original Barrel as Template for the lenght of the piece of Aluminum foil and I took something of wich I thought would be close to the diameter of the barrel itself. Next I rolled up the Aluminum foil around the Barrel to get the nice round shape. Then I Started to cut the Excess off. mm by mm. Since the aluminum foil I used is 1 mm Thick and is rolled around the Barrel the barrel is actually 1mm to big in the Diameter So I cut off a 1mm Slice between the two points where the two ends of the barrel join together to make the Barrel the correct size
About the Pie lids/tins I can say that I really love to use them and it is very versatile material. Easy to cut, Easy to bend etc. Instant PE much Cheaper and better available then leadfoil.

For the rest guys thanks for the replies. More pics will come to reinforce the other pics already made
