Scotties Sd.Kfz. 10/5

[rtfoe]

Amazing stuff Scottie...gotta do something about the detail on the finger and thumb scaling by desausaging it. :smiling2: Like the others have said either a mesh cage or a sack of some sought to catch the empty shells. Most I've seen don't have them. Can't recall the one I saw at the AWM.

Cheers,
Richard

Your detail never ceases to amaze me Paul, I have enough trouble building out of the box models.

Andy.

Andy, to kind mate, trust me you don't have any trouble.

Now that really is rather good....top notch work!! It's at that level of additions and scratchery that it almost seems a shame to paint.

ATB.

Andrew

Andrew, I agree mate some peoples details for example Ayrtom should never be painted.

Luv it Scottie. Top work my friend

Steve, really appreciated mate thank you.

Jus Booful man.....even though it lacks pewter, I think Mr. "T" would have been proud of you......I do miss him. :thumb2: Rick H.

Rick, I hope so mate, he amongst others are responsible for my journey to the dark side. And your right I miss his imput and amazing builds.

Scottie

Is there not some sort of netting sack attached to collect the spent cartridges.?

John

John. I think this was not fitted to all versions and I would struggle to fit one now with the shields in place.

I wasn't going to mention it as it wasn't always present, but a wire mesh cage was affixed to some.

Paul, I think your right there was no mention of it in the instructions.

Seen it both ways.....I prefer it without the squirrel cage as you can see more of the Gun.

Rick, I tend to agree I think it looks better without as well.

That looks the dogs mate

Mick, cheers Matey glad you approve.

Paul...l mean Paul your level of detailling vehicles is absolutely FANTASTIC...more more l need to see moooore....

Thanks Greg it's fun adding the detail.

Hi Scottie
Flak 38 looks superb. You are right about the more to scale thickness shields - the PE just looks so much better.
Jim

Jim, the kit shields would scale up to half an anvil thick lol.

Thanks Richard, glad you like it.

Couldn't agree more, Mr. "T" was my best critic.........he always had a way of pushing me to go a little further with a build to get just a bit more out of it.

Rick H.

Your right he would critic/advise but never insult. He would even detail the details lol.

Paul, very kind of you mate thank you.

[Graeme C.]

The gun is spot on Paul, the etch shields, rivet detail, the extras all make the difference. I don't know how you have the patience.

Yes he was the kid on the playground that dared you to chew the gum on the ground. You didn’t want to go that far but you knew you had to if you wanted to keep your ranks.

[Lee Drennen]

Paul looks outstanding as always. Love these guns

Thank you Graeme, trust me I turn the air blue sometimes.

I built up the tracks these were the Masterclub offerings and a lot better than the kit ones each link had two pins and a separate track pad. The good news was there are only 39 links per side if you count the links in the instructions, but I may have to add more later. Tension will be correct when the top run touches the centre road wheel.

Next work started on the Sd.Ah. 51 trailer. Not a bad little kit and you get two in the box. The side panels were given a tweak.

Before.



after



The rods will be trimmed to length later.

cheers

[scottie3158]

had some fun tinkering with the details. Items have been added from the PE stash and scratched from plastic and pewter. They are not 100% accurate but represent the detail that should be there





I cut off some of the internal shelf detail and replaced it with plastic sheet. The kit part had some magazines and loose rounds moulded in and I wanted the space to add my own details later.



cheers
Scottie

Hi Scottie
Impressive stuff. Even if things are not 100% accurate the 'sharpness' of your additions makes it worth the time and effort. Small detail moulded in styrene is often quite soft - like in your first photo.

[Mickc1440]

More top drawer stuff mate, who cares if they're not 100% they look superb

[grumpa]

Why it's absolute madness!...... Awesome detailing gone completely out of control!
Will someone stop him!?
Don't even think about it!....carry on Your Awesomeness!

Love your work as always....Jim.
