Here some inprogress picture!
I just got home from Gettysburg also, So ill post some pictures of it and when i visited France also :wink:

looks great!

all you need is a pissed off looking crew hanging around outside griping

:-)
I might just have to do that. I read that it took 2, 18 ton Famo to pull one of these suckers out of the mud :-)

Good choice on the subject...that sure happened a lot when they first debuted.

Post more soon...nice suspension btw.

Eddie

Thanks Eddie,
I had to think about the supension when i was doing this dio.
Detail detail detail. Now i just gotta order some Heki Grass

Or ill use Woodloan scenics Static Grass...
Which is better?

I've read you need 3 Famo 18t halftracks actually :-) Especially when you need to drag them out of someting or up a ramp/hill like here

I like what you did with the wheels and suspension (not sure if I wrote that correctly lol)

Martin

I've read you need 4 Famo's to pull them out of the mud. Naa, just kiding.

Looking good there Max.

Hey Max! Beginnings of something good there!
Think that Heki wildgrass (winter) would complement it perfectly...HTH

It looks delicious! Can't wait for the final result! Keep us posted!
Cheers and happy modelling!
Prato

Good idea. Can't wait to see more. Keep us posted. I like your weathering so far too.

BTW-I also heard it's three Famos.

Thanks for the comments
Brian and Martin It was in the army text book it takes 3 of them to move one, But most of the time only 2 were used it it got the job done.

I got alot of picture of a Tiger being pulled out by just 2 also.
Ill post some when i get my scanner to work.

Looks very good. You could get some mules to pull it up...while the crew is waiting for the Famo to arrive.

Well i plan on having a 251 Egineer Half Track by it with the Crew inspecting what going on, title will be

"Stuck"

Looks interesting. Will it be in a stream or something else? I know you noted mud. I like broken down vehicle dios. Chance to show lots of different things. I have always wanted to do a modern one with the guys scratching their heads or arguing over what to do next.

Max,
One suggestion before you get too far along: Dioramas with stuff hanging over the edges just never look right to me. Maybe it is just me but I think they look much cleaner, if you will, if everything is inside the borders of the base. I would scoot the tank up and toward the middle a bit.

Again, just a suggestion.

Shaun

Burik i plan on getting some Resin Figures with Scratching their heads, then some resting on a shovel looked exhasted.
And then some getting some tools...

Shaun, I was thinking about that but there wouldnt really be much room for the 251 Egineer. I was thinking about putting a smaller one like a sdkfz 250 pending on how it worked out.

It looks quite good allready.
I like to see more pics. nice suspension , comes that with the kit or did it all by yourself??

bye Hilbert

Hilbert
I did the supension myself. I just layed them out as if the tank were straight and then loosen the back ones and set let gravity take care of the rest. Then just glued them in place.

cool, I think I've to try that once.
I've now a Hornisse with the same same looks with a suspension.
But that came with the kit so I could do the suspension with a turn. (baaaaaaaaad englisch )

Max you said you did the suspension your self .if am right and by the looks of the kit its the dragon initial Tiger which comes with suspension
