discussion 1/35 Sd.Ah 56/57 Flak ammunition trailer (3D printed)

Flippin’ ‘eck Los, that’s a real shame. Still, I’m sure your talent will get this back to top class in no time.

You can do it Los as we build from parts anyway. Looks salvageable.

Cheers,

Cheers Tim, I'll definitely give it a go

Thanks Richard. It is, will just need a few 'xtras' to get it looking presentable again

That's a real bummer. I'm sure a man of your talents will soon get this sorted.

That is painful Los, you (and that fine job ) didn't deserve that - however, although I'd have made a wrecked trailer in a ditch, I'm sure you'll square it away!

Ouch, I'm sure you'll get it looking great again

Sorry for the accident, Los.
IMHO, some of the damages look very realistic, meaning that they look like damages due to wartime use, careless or sleepless driving, some swift off-road detour to avoid enemy fire and so on.
I do not think those trailers were just dirt (weathered in modellers' dictionary) as they were used by youngsters living very dangerously. Moreover my experience taught me that the most difficult thing to teach to young drivers in uniform is to take proper care of their vehicles "as their own new car".

I'm working on it

I wonder how much this thing must cost? It’s like fixing a rolex then knocking it off onto a marbled floor. I guess that’s why I try to steer away from AM/3D stuff. I like the look of the Bronco very much

Hi Paul. The 3D file cost for the kit, literally a few quid, although the designer printed it, shipped it to me, and charged me for the privilege. It still wasn’t very expensive. Maybe a cheap Tamiya 1/35 kit's worth, all in. As regards to my time, yeah, that cost me big time. I invested pretty heavily in that build but looking back, its just one of those little hick-ups you hope to learn from, not ever re-visit, and just move on.

I have spent a little time repairing the trailer to a presentable state and it now lives in a dust free box with the Sd.Kfz.7 Flak. I will re-visit it again one day and perhaps finish it to a standard I’m happy to present.
