Glenn's Current Modeling Projects

[Glenn]

I was going by the road wheels, and using the T-34 and re-working it...big job but a lot of fun.
The Stug was based on a British recon tank with 5 road wheels, but I'll be using a Warrior as it has 6 wheels, when I finally get around to it!

Now, with the chassis of the T-34, I added the rear drive wheel to the front, and this meant adding space the the area between this and the front road wheel. Next, using the wide space between road wheels two and three, and making it between road wheels one and two. And finally, adding extra height to the chassis for the front wheel.
When checking between the JagdPanther and T-34 dimensions, the width was only a couple of mm between the front panels, so adding one to the other wasn't a headache.

With the JagdPanther....I can see where I went wrong! If you look at the first photo, you can see how wide the blockhouse is? Well. I didn't!
So, they did use a T-54/T55 for the chassis, and scratch built the body.......well, back to square #1...or, I could just continue and make it as I think it should have been made.....Yes, I'll do that!

This is WhiffWorld, of course you can!

Now that's what I like a nice pragmatic, sensible decision

I agree, the obvious thing is to make it how it should have been.

[Glenn]

Yes Matthew, as it should have been!
Well, this shows the side cleaned up and given a coat of European Sand (Dark yellow by TAMIYA) and ready for the road wheels.

Road wheels in place.....now, it does look like a T-55......

Now, this shot is out of sequence, as it shows the body in place. I think I know why they used the T-55 rather than the T-34...as the T-55 is bigger and wider and as you see the JagdPanther it does look bulkier.
The drive wheel comes from a M-24 Chaffee as the kit had two sets and I wondered if the second one would come in handy.
I know what they used for the tracks, and have bought the kit.

Coming along nicely mate

This project has been on going for a couple of years....only as you can't get a kit of it, and it is in a movie.
This is my M-7 light/medium tank from the movie ATTACK.
It is getting there, but has a while to go!

Wow Glynn you've certainly been busy since I last checked in ! Some really excellent work. And some really excellent, atmospheric photography ! Love the in-flight shots of the AWACs. So evocative. The Iklwa is a great idea. I've saved those photos to my whiffer file for future reference.

Interesting hull on that Glenn. Reminds me of the Canadian RAM tank for some reason ?

Yeah, similar-looking cast hulls.

[Glenn]

The other side of the M7 and yes....it is like the RAM. Looking at Profile Magazine #13 "Ram and Sexton", that appears to be two M3/M4 chassis' never made into 1/35 kits? Am I right?
