Re: Paper Panzers
I'd like to make a VK 1602 Leoperd. I've got a turret from Grunts Puma,I think it would be a cool project.

But reading in one of my Panzer Tracts books the turret was similar in shape to the 234 but it was larger and the armor had a different shape .
Other than that it is a highly modified Panther .
I will be making this variant in the future along with the E-10 .
I am booked solid in the XD Work Factory till after the first of the year.
It is so much easier talking about the projects than actually doing them.

Re: Paper Panzers
For a Paper Model they look better than injected molded kits, Incredible.

I am not sure if you are joking or not .
There are indeed tank models made of paper. They are usually 1/24 scale .
My notion of a paper panzer were panzers drawn out ( on paper ) and were never made or produced.
What Zelda and Normandy are showing are some of the kits I have made except some of Flak Panthers that Normandy has built.
All of which are totally cool

Re: Paper Panzers
Hallo Studly,
The above pics are 1:18 21st Century custom tanks that Zelda and I made with turrets and road wheels
from Pickelhaube.
The VK 1602 Leoperd, picture with link is a future 1:18 custom project.
The 21st 1:18 tank line was great, a fantastic base for customs or just super detailing.
Thanks Matthew for all the great custom kits over the years....hope to see many more!!!

Re: Paper Panzers
The VK 1602 Leoperd would definitely be a cool 1:18 project. I've got a Panther G set aside and a grunt turret
ready.....just need some time, I've been a Grandfather for nine months....all building has come to a stop.
Thanks Pickel, I had fun doing those two Panthers with your kits.
"Sure wish I had a magic wand" YOU DON"T NEED NO STINKIN WAND, your PICKELHAUBE.....
Hey Zelda, I like the Hinterhalt camo the 405 Panther very nicely done!
I've wanted to try that pattern.

Pickel, check this one out... http://www.pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=1 ... 9&start=15
If it had been built , it may have been a failure....who knows, but I like the lines.
Different version, note the road wheel configuration. http://www.network54.com/Forum/110741/t ... 02+Leopard

Re: Paper Panzers
Do you plan on adding the casting seam to the mantlet?

Re: Paper Panzers
I would be tough to make a kit of this but I have an idea .
Rather than make a sell a whole new hull I could design and plot some line drawing so anybody could slice and dice there own.
Because the wheels and tracks could be used from a donar Panther .
I could probably cast the rear deck and misc. pieces that make up the 1602 alng with the modified turret and gun.
It will make a new panzer !!!!

Yes, that detail doesn't appear on Grunts (Shapeways) turret but I think it would add to the overall look of the tank.[CAT]CplSlade wrote:Do you plan on adding the casting seam to the mantlet?

Re: Paper Panzers
Pickelhaube,
While looking for info on the VK 1602 I found this ..... a kit bash/custom of a Panther G.
http://www.rctankregiment.com/rctankfor ... =36&t=2070
Most kits (in smaller scales than 1:18) of this VK 1602 Paper Panzer are the Panther D or A model. I think this G version is cool.
21st's Panther is the G......so I was going to build a 1602 as if it were made from 2 or 3 versions,
from battle damaged tanks.
The Shapeways / Grunt Puma turret seems to be a little larger in scale than 1:18. I'll make it work.
I'll have some pics by the end of the week.

Re: Paper Panzers
I have ordered the turret and should be here on the 22nd. But I am way to busy to even think about starting this .
But I will enjoy looking at your progress Normandy !!!!!!!!
I forgot to mention that I got this to scale off of and I also have scale drawings from Panzer Tracts Paper Panzers .
So when ever time allows I will be ready to start this . Probably about 2 months from now .
