1/72 E-100 Krokodil

[AussieTJ]

This was a kit bash using a 'Cpl Overby's Motor Pool' Jagdpanzer "Krokodil" resin hull combined with the running gear from a Dragon E-100.

It was a well cast piece, with some cool 'What-if" details.

I can't remember too much about the build as it was built in 2006! But the figures are from AB Figures, the camo scheme is total fiction of my own design and the German markings are airbrushed on ... not decals.

It could have done with more weathering, looking back on it, but that was before I knew what I was doing as far as adding weathering, maybe a candidate for an afternoons work making it dirty??

The idea is that this is set in mid 1946 with the E-100 series tanks fully developed and in service and the Jadgpanzer Krokodil versions being used to defend Berlin and push out the Allied invasion.
Thanks for looking in.

Cool build. IF the Germans had more time who knows what they would have come up with.

Man, what a great display! Your camo is super tight for braille-scale. Good stuff.

I never did like any of the Panzer '46 what if models, but I can always admire and respect an incredibly masterful job on anything that was built; especially in my preferred scale. You did a superbly magnificent job! I do like the crushed bricks in the tracks, most effective!

Thanks Duke. I can understand the dislike for 'What-if's", it almost falls into a Sci Fi type category? But I do like the range of vehicles based on the E-100 chassis, as that was a real vehicle, if only a chassis/hull, it's just such a pity it was scrapped in the 50's.
Cheers TJ

Wonderful diorama! I really like the camo work you put on this.

That's......1/72 scale??!!  No way!! Cmon now Tim. 

Some mighty fine detail work for such a small scale model and a good looking dio to go along with it and thank you for sharing this little gem of a build with us bud.

I mean, just amazing TJ. And your subject matter is always super cool too. Can't get over how great this is and the scale. Just awesome.
