Couldn't work a solution to ctr. gun feed so axed belt ammo idea & will model in travel mode. PaulE

Very impressive Paul. I'm interested in the bikes in 1:76. Would your ones be too small??. If not, any idea where I might be able to get some on this side of the pond please?

Paul,
That is some very nice work mate.

Thank you gentlemen. Steve, the bikes should work fine in 1/76, but I don't remember where they came from. The building they came with doesn't have any makers' mark & a quick search didn't come up w/box or instructions. My buildings are mostly Faller & Pola, but I don't know on this one. PaulE

Paul, I like how this one turned out. Too bad you couldn't get the center gun feed sorted out.
Still looks the bomb. How about a couple more pics. With the lights on. Cheers, Rick

Paul,
Looking good. I like the old clock gears in the corner.

A wonderful dio and story line. On top form with this one Paul

Thanks, gents. A comparison of 1/87 scale ROCO, ArsenalM, & Herpa Jagdtigers of which ArsenalM (middle) is most accurate. I used the Herpa one here because it was the smallest and could fit inside the building best. The ROCO is incorrect in too many ways to mention. The ArsenalM is a WIP. The Protz is there to show off the gun sight made from a wristwatch second hand.


C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Hi Paul, Is the Arsenal M actually the correct overall length? Can't tell from the pic. I think you did a hell of a job on the ROCO cat! Way better than my first attempt many moons ago. Rick H.

[minitnkr]

They tell me it is RickH. It's about 6 to 9 scale inches longer than Herpa. It's hard to read inches in 1/87 when you're old. Thanks, it was decades ago, although I added the travel lock when I acquired my first ROCO Hummel ammo carrier some years ago. PaulE
