discussion Rick's 1/87 Scale Borgward B-3000S 3 Ton Truck

[Mini Me]

This was a fun little build....not too much major surgery to get the desired results.....I hope you like it. Questions and comments (even critical ones) are always welcome. Rick H.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Loving that. Good looking truck Rick.

Nice job on the cut and shut mate, it's turned out really well :thumb2:

 

[Lee Drennen]

Nice

Rick,
That is a great result mate. Those windscreen wipers must be tiny.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Tim, not a common vehicle in the world of scale modeling......I love to do the different and unavailable as much as possible.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Mark, in this scale if you want to have a variety of vehicles you have to be willing to get as creative as possible.....glad you like it. Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Lee. :thumb2:

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Scottie, yeah they are small.........carpet monsters favorite snack and a boon to the wiper manufacturers.
Keeps me well supplied.....at a price, of course. Rick H.

 

[Steve Jones]

One of your best Rick. Really enjoyed watching this one one come together. Top work my friend

 

[GerryW]

Looks marvelous, see what you meant about that seam though! (I did have to look for it, so not 'in yer face' at all!)

 

[Mini Me]

Thank you Mr. Jones.....does me heart good to know you like it......I shall now focus my efforts on finishing up all the "crapintheback" for the MB Kfz. 70 that is languishing on the bench. Glad you dropped by. :thumb2: Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Gerry, I thought that seam would never disappear......I've only managed to diminish it but I still notice it....argh! Thanks for the comments. Rick H.

 

[outrunner]

Wonderful job, you guys that model in that scale never cease to amaze me, respect Sir!

Andy.

 

[Mini Me]

Bless yer heart Andy.....don't know why I do it, just love the scale and a bit of a challenge at the same time. :thumb2: Rick H.

Good one Rick. See them on the dynamic brake vents of my SD45P & GP 45 shells.

 

[Mini Me]

Hi Paul, let me know if you want to do a couple of B-3000's I have extras. Thanks for the compliment. :thumb2: Rick H.

 

[minitnkr]

Sure, Germans are always looking for more transport. Send me a bill.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Sorry Rick I got confused between your two trucks (because I don't know my SDKFZ from my PZKW...), thought I had commented on this already.
It looks the BIZ!
Top scratchery there and tiny too!

 

[Mini Me]

It's ok Neil, I try not to be too technical, but last I heard, the mods want only specific descriptions of what's being modeled so I have to call a Kfz a Kfz and a SdKfz a SdKfz etc.....etc. and all that sort of "Rot" :tongue-out3:....oh and thank you for the kind word on the build, much appreciated Sir.
