Shadowfax's Tank Transporter Project

[Deleted]

Hey Everyone,

I am rather new to this site but I figured that I should share the project that I have been working on for the last year and a half.  In that time I have managed to build 5 1/35 scale tank transporters and their cargo.  Below are some images of the completed builds and upcoming projects.  Thanks for looking.

Hobby Boss M1070/M1000 and Kinetic M109 A2 - First project completed in January of 2014.
     Built mostly out of box, made the tie downs out of styrene, chain and wire.







Trumpeter MAZ-537G Late with Trumpeter BMP-1 - Second project completed in June of 2014.
     Built mostly out of box, made the tie downs out of styrene, chain and wire.




Tamiya FAMO Tank Transporter and Dragon Flakpanzer IV "Wirbelwind" - Third project completed, sort of.  Transporter completed in October of 2014, Wirbelwind completed in January 2015.
     Built mostly out of box, added a bunch of random stuff to the bed to make it look used and added Archer Fine Transfers to the         gauges.

Trumpeter Chinese 50 Ton Tank Transporter and Trumpeter Chinese 122mm type 89 - Fourth completed in January 2015.
   Built mostly out of box, used styrene and chains for the tie downs.






Trumpeter Faun SLT-56 with a Meng Panzerhaubitze 2000 - Fifth completed in February of 2015.
     This was a big one.  I used Eduard's awesome Big Ed set for the truck and transporter but I am really happy with the result.  And scratch built parts to attach the howitzer to the trailer.

Second! Awesome work on the 5 transporters. I built the Chinese 122 MM last year.
