Hi guys been wanting to do something railed for a good while now as it suits the scale of 1/72 and wont be too large for the display cabinet :wtf: . After a lot of pondering I came up with this idea of a captured Soviet railcar upgunned with German machinery . These railcars were captured and put into German service ....Beute Trains maybe? I have yet to see one that was modified by the Germans so this could be a kinda 'what if' . Its very straight forward ....swap out the turrets also add the Flak guns front and rear ..... this should prove to be a fun build and thats what this GB is all about! :thumbup:  Commencing very soon!  ....will also be adding another vehicle to this ....just not sure what yet . |

Ok guys for my own sanity Im gonna skip straight to where the progress is at now ................  Pre-weatherd Panther G w/ Steel Wheels  Pre-weathered Railcar .  Getting the base in order , still got a fair bit to do with this build but its all bitty stuff so gonna be slow going for a while lol |

Just noticed a MG sticking out of its side... but how can the shooter see what he is shooting? Interesting...
Once again, killer camo job!!!

Almost home on these Deano, looking pretty good from here. As for the MG, looks like the standard 'ball' mount type with an integrated eyepiece/scope like you would see on tanks. But I like the 'force' answer just as much! |
