Wonderfull work, Pickelhaube. But thank you to also find time for Pave Hawk kits betwwen all your successfull projects...

Great work!

I'd love to see how you make the mold for that. I'd do Nashorn kit, but I can't make the multi-part mold.

David, those are halftrack wheels.

Yes the wheels are off of the 21st 1/2 track.

I will have some 3 part molds on this. The cannon will not be bad but those pieces with the holes in them will be tricky and the 3 part molds are always a pain.

I really thought that this would be an easy one. The 75 mm I did for my M-3 TD was not all that bad. But the 105 has got a lot more doo dads with it.

The 75 took me about 3 daysto build . I have more than twice that in this one and I have a lot more to do.

Many many small parts. But I think it will be worth it when I get done.

That looks great!

Nobody really understands how hard it is to mold until they try... Well not too hard just lots of work.

Pickel:

I have found the following pics.




The trailer hitch is reversible depending on the size of the towing vehicle. The rod sticking up from the other trail is an aide in lifting the trail and moving the gun. The rod is removable and strapped on the side of the trail.

LMK if you need anything further,

Are the most latest versions very different? I would like to hang one under my Blackhawk.

I am not sure but the most recent are made out of titanium.
