that paint realy puts it together as a whole.
what can i say about it exept praise ?
it looks damn fine, works great and can actually shoot projectiles..
that's good enough for me. lol ;D
it certainly deserves a place in the hall of immortal fame if you ask me.

brilliant, exxelent, thanks a lot for posting this.

Sehr sehr schön, gefällt mir die "kleine" Maus! Super Arbeit!

Du weißt jetzt aber was dein nächstes Projekt werden muss oder? Nämlich die Ratte!

zum fahren auf einer H0 anlage ist der P1000 doch etwas groß, mein nächstes modell wird ein halbketten fahrzueg

[epoxy]

with a p1000 on H0 scale you could still use a tamiya tank as a basis.

allready planning another one?
ein halbkette farhzueg would be something else.
but how would you make it steer ?
how do these steer in real life anyway ?
only with the frontwheels ? or do the tracks help as well ?

i'm allready curious how your going to make it work.

hi, habe mal einen teiflader/munitionstransporter gebaut.

[epoxy]

thats a firm basis to start from.
why did you use wood ? it looks like a lot of work to paint e.d.

but where there ever tiefladers for a heavy monster like this ?
i guess not because they only made a few maus panzers at all.
and how could they get it on or off ?
not that it realy of great importance to me.
it's just i've allways doubted the practical use of superheavy tanks
in real life.

i realy like the munitions and the crates they come in.
did you mill/make those yourself ?
and what about that truck? it looks brutal, can we have a closeup ?

M.f.g.

[dommi05]

hi epoxy
the maus was never transportet on a trailer like that, only by railway.
upside of it is painted in "sand-baige" its no big difference to the wood colour.

the boxes for ammo i made myself. its balsa wood, a little brown painted.

the truck is a HEMTT 8x8 here a picture of the chassis

[dela]

Schicker Zug, richtig was zum Sattsehen. Gefällt mir super, sowohl der 8x8, der Anhänger als natürlich auch der Tank. Farbgebung 8x8 finde ich besonders gelungen.
Spendierst du uns auch noch das Vergleichsfoto mit Edding? Da wird nochmal schön das Ausmaß deutlich.

[epoxy]

great, thanks.
that looks like a nice vehicle, what's with all the gears on the back part ?
it looks complicated.

one of these day's i'm going to have to make one of these ttt trucks,
if i can find the time that is.

one more question if you please,
how wide are those ALT-4803 kette ?

grüß

[dommi05]

ok hier das bild des über-panzers mit edding



@epoxy
the gear on the backseat is a selfmade servo

the track is exactly scale 12,6mm wide, i renounced on a small piece of the track on both sides of the track segments. my knive does the rest

[epoxy]

great thanks again.

and i like that black car too, reminds me of a toy car i had sa a kid.
a late 60's chevrolet ? i guess l like your style.

[Peter Naake]

Schade, hätte gerne ne Ratte in H0 gesehen

Super Anhäner/Zug!



Hätte aber nen Vorschlag zur Halbkette:



Wäre echt mal was besonderes.
