Nothing wrong with using kit bits for the fiddly stuff!

Nice work.

We've had the King Tiger...now, lets have The Elefant'!
Finished less the radio mast and re-painter. In it's original scheme, it was done in Dark Yellow overall, then Green and Red Brown dry brushed in a rough snake patern all around it. Then dry brushed in the Red Brown over it....well, that was óverkill. So, re-dry brushed the whole body in Dark Yellow. Lowered the tone, added the decals, machine gun and shot it.
Besides the chassis and running gear, the only kit parts are the hull machine gun and the barrel, which was from a T-62 (modified)

Nice and war weary

Now, when I built this tank over the Israeli tank, realised it would make the 'real tank'15"wider than a real Elefant But, it I was in a 'foxhole' and say this 'thing' coming toward me...I'd be changing my under ware, even before I put them on!

Big tanks are always cool.

Back with the Porsche, the front...this time.

Remember a few years ago...I was working on a Barkley Grow...well, it was finished a while ago, but I forgot about it until recently.
Sometime in the late 1940's somewhere over Europe, set in Air Lingus markings.
Construction : Balsa and bog.
Scale : 1/48

Right on, bud!

Looking at this photo...at least you know where Dirk Pitt is at this moment!

This was a Monogram 1/72 (?) Grumman Albatross, and is now a 1/48 Grumman Malard.
When it was finished...had problems working out markings for her, then it hit me...NUMA!

Brilliant!!! I love it. Good ol' civvie stuff with pretty colors.

This is my second Elefant, but what you see is all I'm constructing!
This is going to become an Elefant 'RAM'. An idea given to Porsche by Hitler in 1945 as the ultimate city destroyer..(Hitler had never heard of The Stock Exchange) and when Hitler had an idea...you had to follow through.
Scale : 1/35
Construction : two T-62A tanks.

So what was the idea then Glen ? To use it as a ram against fortifications or other tanks ?

Nick,
To use them in a set , to smash their way through a city/town by using them as a Ram by destroying the buildings at their foundations,
There is a hole in the front of the body, but I don't think a gun would have been used, more like Thor's Hammer....but, just don't know as none were ever built.

Congratulations for the Barkley and Grumman seaplane models!

Thanks Glenn. So you destroy a buildings foundations, the whole lot tumbles down on you and then another tank comes and tows you out ?

Highly practical
