ROCO, Herpa, Trident & semi-scratched models with Preiser & ROCO figures withdrawing through covering elements. Here I'm working 2cm elements.

Spotted these Preiser guys in the stash, so found a home for them. Crew of 88 having chow while commander has a smoke. One PG squad deploys to rubble while second PG squad takes a break on the logs. C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Thank you gentlemen. Rick, source is my bench. All plastic parts from here & there. 1/76 scale 88 shield & cruciform, ROCO halftrack wheels, 1/72 Panther gun barrel & various bits. PaulE
 
Nice scratchery Buddy! Been scrounging pieces for one of my own..........not keen on scratching the cruciform mount with side swing out riggers though.

Hey Paul,
Well,what can i say?..... There`s so much for me to catch up on here!!
As the Guy`s have said,it`s all looking most excellent,not to mention "Busy"!! :tongue-out: ,
The thing that leaps out to me is the debris from those damaged buildings,so easy to under do,but in my opinion you`ve got it spot on....... literally TONS of rubble,EVERYWHERE,and most life like too,well done indeed mate!!! :cool:
Action wise,i think this is one of the best Dios i`ve seen in a very long time,top stuff!
Cheers,
Andy

Thanks Steve, doing research on a "41". I may try to convert one. Doing the swingarm cruciform will be the major difficulty, so will be the last "88" on this dio. PaulE
 
I have a few pics. and started a build on one years ago....not much info out there and the photos I have show a very complicated gun with many dials and gadgets, odd crew seating etc. If I ever get around to finishing it I'm sure I won't want to build another. Let me know if you come on to some pics. that show construction of this beast. Rick H.
 
Hi Paul
Another superb dio in the making. Love the little details - 88mm crew having a break. Always so much to see in these dios of yours.
