Oh, the polish tankette... I'm currently reading Zaloga's book on german polish campaign and there are a couple of pics of that trap on tracks... I don't doubt it - this vehicle is so small I have no idea how they fit two guys in there along with gas, ammo, an engine and a transmission! |

Better every time I look
.22's would be too big I think plus they lack the shoulder seen on the 75mm L/71

Nice progress on the Turm Dupes, I'm intrigued by the camo pattern you've got on the TKS...looks like an urban/block-style pattern, neat!

That's indeed what it is - I'll have to grab a pic of Mirage's box art.

Keeping it coming!  Got the assembly line shot from yesterday - three builds getting oil dots followed by chipping.  And the Pantherturm with oil dots, chipping, and all the ammo I could find attached to the base:  Wow ! Dang neat looking bench and this dio is really looking impressive .  |

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

Looks good dupes!
My only question - didn't you plan on a fig for this?

I had hoped to include one (so as to have it more readily defined as a "dio" or "vignette"), but haven't found anyone that actually works. Tried the DML guys from that BoB Sherman kit, and even picked up another Tamiya set that had some promise - especially in the right-era uniform department.
Part of the problem is actually placing the guy on there - unless he's standing on the concrete (nobody in remotely the right pose for that), there isn't anywhere flat to put him! That, and I have to either alter the barbed wire - more bloody fingers - or hope that no one wonders how he managed to get inside said wire.
That being said, I'm still trying to come up with a workaround, and if I come across the right dude I'd love to put him on there!

I thought about that, Todd, but then I run into the issue with the barbed wire again (which would only be around for an "active" emplacement) - how'd the soldier or child get in there? |

Just cut the wire between two poles and pull it back a little... give the impression that someone had to get up close to take out this position. Maybe the tired Russian you'll have leaning on the turret. |

Unfortunately I've done everything I can to get that stuff to stay where it is now - had a barbed wire explosion yesterday. Came off of one of the poles, loose loops of deadly PE flying about everywhere.  |

I think because it is so unique that we don't see one like that often. Its your call... I need to find your Wirbelwind thread now. LOL

Thanks guys!
Need to decide if I want this or the Wirbel in the MoM. That 1-per-month rule is bogus! Lol

Very nice Dupes, love the look you got on this one! If we relaxed the 1-per-month rule for you it would become the DMoM at your current rate of building! |
