discussion 1/87 Hummel battery on the march

[minitnkr]

Thanks. The tracks have been upgraded w/Hauler etch. They make brass track for Pzr IVs, Vs, 38ts I think, & various Russian tanks. Out of the spares box. They are late mold ROCO PzrIV external air cleaners cut up. PaulE

Very resourceful, and a great result. Looking forward to more! Rick H.

Next we'll see what the guys in tross can do when a run-of-the-mill 165 munitions wagon is in for tranny work & upper OKs adding some sting. PaulE

Plain Jane ammo carrier w/ trans sorted ready for stinger. C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Brass tracks ! Would like to know more on those Paul.
Agree with a photo including a ruler to give us some idea of really the size of these brilliant models.

 

[minitnkr]

Hauler Models does all kinda stuff in many scales. They have an e-store & Hannants carries their line. Shown are 1/87 examples for ROCO PzrIV & T72. PaulE

Drilling & reloads installed. Wicker ammo containers? Next I'll try an early Hummel version based on the Nashorn. C&Cs welcome. PaulE

Need to touch up gunner & rear plate.

Nice to give the old Bee a little sting! X3 I like it! Rick H.

 

[Guest]

Thanks Paul.:thumb2:
Not a bad idea, they look more to scale being in PE .

ROCO 15cm howitzer & ROCO Nashorn plus a lot of details, kit & crew mashed together to represent an early Hummel. Just noticed I'll need to patch the hole in the recuperator. Currently deciding on camo or not. Opinions? C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Its amazing the amount of "activity" you mamage to create on such small models. Lovin these builds a lot Paul. Keep up the great work my friend.

P.S Those PE tracks are nuts!

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys. Thought I'd filled that hole. Lost the antenna somewhen. Decided the old campaigner would have his act together, so camoed & added breech & muzzle covers. PaulE

Hi Paul
As always you seem to get so much into these tiny models. A real tribute to your skills (and eyesight! :nerd

[Mini Me]

That is an "Early Girl". Even has the early style exhaust. Well done Paul. Was it 4 or 6 to a battery?

 

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. 6, but #one is lost to counter battery fire & #six is in for repairs. Here is where I am presently. PaulE

8 divided by 42 is 5.25 and 84 divided by 25 is 3.36. Hope this helps :smiling5: :smiling2: :thumb2:

 

[minitnkr]

New math vs old math?:smiling: PaulE

I like your builds photographed that close up...helps with our failing eyesight. PE tracks for that scale are wicked. :thumb2:

Cheers,

Ya I know, I've made a Lewis and Vickers in 1/72 so the bucket handle will be a challenge in 1/87. :smiling2:
