So, I am in here too! Deano, this looks quite cool! I need a little bit of information. In general I know what paper tanks are (not as easy for a figure sculptor of the creepyness as it may sound!), a little bit of Science Fiction is surely involved. BUT: Is it so that you combine different tank types from, lets say WWII Germany, and combine them together to something that might have been done (i. e. you could put a Sherman turret on a Königstiger Chassis... if it looks possible). Same goes for special equipment like IR and the most used tools? It is all from the same period of time and fits in the technical status of the historical background it is positioned in?

Hi Frank , I base my 'what ifs' or 'wtf ifs' on German machinery and technology that would of been available at the time WW II . You also have to think about weight constrictions and stuff so you dont end up putting a KT turret on say a panzer iv chassis . However at the end of the day its all about the fun and what floats yer boat .... for instance the mantlet for this tank is probably too big for the vehicle to cope with but thats why Im putting down as a prototype ....a one off ! kinda like the Porsche Tiger I which btw is one helluva cool panzer ... anyhoo Im setting my imagination free with this one and luvin it ! ...... Paint is on !    Weathering next ..... dirt and oil! |

Cool Deano, now I am in even more. Sounds very interesting and maybe, after my figure projects are done more or less, I could imagine to come up with something like that. It is fun, sure, but you always have to be an ingenieur, a designer, a gun expert and and and. Great!
Cheers,
Frank

Cool looking beast you've created there Deano. I can only marvel at the size of your carpet monster, being able to devour a whole wheel!

Looks fantastic so far Deano! Sucks when you have a few wheels loose along with dropping a model and losing one!! Glad to see and hear you got things back in order! |
